My mind is continually overwhelmed with the creativity demonstrated by many of the bloggers I follow and more. I could spend hours on the internet browsing for inspiration – and sometimes do when I’m naughty and don’t stop myself from procrastinating 😛 It was on one of these such sessions that I came across the […]
Archives for October 2010
A slow week…
This week has been one to forget mostly. Hannah was kind enough (ha ha) to share her cold with us all. Abbie’s first cold = less sleep = me getting sick too = sewing mojo getting lost, along with time to sew. I have managed to get a few things finished – mostly achieved before […]
Works in progress:
This week my daughter has been sick – AGAIN, so we haven’t been out much. Nothing major – but still a big pain in the butt. I had to keep her home from daycare yesterday (which we were both sad about!!) and could not go to Mothers group or playgroup this week. So the downside […]

Miss Polly had a Dolly….
Last night I decided to try and tick another non-quilty sewing project off of my list and give sewing a softie a try. My friend Emma was kind enough to let me borrow her softies book (which is such a cute book!!) and assured me that the Polly dolly was achievable in around an hour. […]
