Christmas Craft Things

Well this is what I have been busy doing!

Getting ready in prep for the Christmas Market up here. I was so disappointed last year when I attended as a buyer and there was nothing really christmassie!

SPOTLIGHT SALE

Well here is a pic of what I bought at the Spotlight sale. I went a little over board with the wool - but I am telling myself that we will need some knitted items for next year and when it was only 50cents a ball, well I couldn't really leave it there could I!

I also purchased some material - well 15 metres actually. I think that I can justify my spending by saying that next year I will have to drive over an hour away to go to a Spotlight or other craft store. And the wool will still be in my stach so I will have something to do.

My Op Shop finds!

Well what fun I had at the op shop the other day. Here is a few pics of my finds. By the looks of it none of the patterns have actually ever been used! I love the 1970's little dress.

The Sewing Machine is out of Retirement!...

Hi well I ahve been busy - not sewing but entertaining visitors. We have had both sets of Grandparents up for Amelia's first birthday. It was great to have them up - but needless to say I didn't get much sewing or crafting done!

As it is with your children's birthdays and MG's - all of the children you know have their birthdays at the same time. So for the girls I descided to make little dresses!

I turned a Bonds singlet into a dress and I want to make some more - But it is so hard to find the singlets up here (grrrr!)

I also made Amelia a pair of Ingrid's 'easy pants and added some stitching etc to a target top. She looks very cute in it - but of course wouldn't sit still long enough for me to take a pic. (so you all get to see a crawling baby instead!)

MY LITTLE FAMILY

Ok. The Essential Baby girls have asked for Photos of our Families.

So here they are.
