The end of year.

It is that time where we wonder where the year has gone a worry about all of the things ahead of us in December.  I have stated my December by making Thank you presents for Lachie’s teacher and teachers aid, next is Christmas clothes for my little people ……. well after I clean the house.

The message around the top reads “Thank you for helping me grow. Lachie Little 2010″ .   I gave them a blue sky  some grass and flowers along with Lachie’s hand prints for clouds.

it has been a while……

humm I am really not sure what I have done in the past six months?  Thats right bridesmaids dresses, well strangely enough I have not done to much since then.  I have a few larger projects in the works at the moment but until then I thought that I would share with you a couple of  things that I have made :)

Some flowers made from patty papers that I made with my little people.

making sure that I take time to smell the flowers with my little people :)

Changing a old favorite.

jam drops with a twist

yes yet another bag

Lachie’s 4th Birthday

My son Lachlan was 4 on Tuesday and after a month or two of ignoring his requests for a green dragon cake, I bit the bullet and gave it a go.  Not too bad of an effort :)  I placed the 4 candles around the dragons smile.

and a cake for day care :)

Sorry I have been slack

I know that I have not blogged much this year, so far the year has been pretty busy.  I have made a couple of things lately that I thought that I would share, yet another Library bag.  I really love the bright pink and blue together :) I might have to use it again :)   Rach has a new parir of overalls which are huge on her, they may fit next year :)

Next one the list of things to do is bridesmaids dresses, please scream with me!  So there may have to be preogress photos with those as I will be taking my time :)  Oh and I almost forgot, not sure how but I finally found the bunny cookie cutter that I have been looking for so I am super excited and looking forward to making bunny cookies for Easter like the Raindeer cookies from Christmas :)  Fingers crossed they look something like the vison in my head LOL

A Little Big Girl Room

About a month ago I purchased a toddler bed for Rach, she did not cope very well with its presence at the start.  Even trying to push the bed out of the room :(  Well time has pasted and she is now enjoying her big bed and the story’s at night time.  Today I pulled the cot apart and now she has her Little Big Girl room :) but then :( she is a big girl.

And of course some photos, I did not take any photos of the wardrobe.

Dresses for Grandma

Yes I know that it has been a while, sorry I forgot to take a photo of the last project :( it was a very cute library bag.  Anyway nothing too creative has bee happening here I am in the middle of making some new house frocks for my grand mother.  Once they are out of the way I think that it might be time to start getting some things made for winter.  And I know that every one loves photos so here is one of the Granny frocks :D

A new year

Well sorry to say nothing flash to start off the new year I sat down at my sewing machine for the first time in a few weeks.  We are going to a 4th birthday party on Sat so I have made a library bag for him and inside is a sticker book :)

and of course the inside :) I really love this print fabric :)

we have another birthday party the following week so I guess I have another bag to make :D

Making Raindeer

:) for those who wanted to know, they are upside down ginger bread men, I am not a fan of ginger bread so I used the stained glass cookie recipe http://www.taste.com.au/recipes/551/glass+window+biscuits+england the eye whites are white chocolate the nose is a jaffa that is held in place with a blob of chocolate underneath and the antler are just piped chocolate. Just use a zip lock bag to pipe the chocolate.

and a photo to show that they are upside down men :D

Reindeer cookies

I saw this great idea on facebook :) for Christmas cookies, I am not a big fan of ginger bread so I used a stain glass biscuit recipe instead.  THe little people and I are off to play groups Christmas Party tomorrow and we have to take a plate of Xmas themed food :)  I think that it is the first time ever we have been ready to go the night before normally it is a mad dash to make some thing that morning, anyway here is our plate of cookies ready to go.

:D I just noticed the crossed eyed one at the front :)
