My first dress....

When Skipper was 17 years old, doing her final year of high school, vulnerable, impressionable, she also was taking Home Economics. She tried to make a dress - and it was a shamozzle. She tried to make an apron - and it was even worse! She tried her hardest to learn to sew, but she just couldn't grasp it.

"You are hopeless Skipper! You will NEVER learn to sew!" The words my Home Ec teacher still ring loud and clear in my ears.

Well do you know what??

(Excuse the blurry shot, my 8 year old took it)


I made this. :)



BITE ME MS M!!!

BBQ Apron for DH

I'm getting this printed onto a BBQ apron for part of DH's christmas present. He is a fan of the Japanese show "Iron Chef"

Christmas Card Designs

So I have the photos, now I'm playing around with some Christmas card designs. I'm trying to go for bold but simple. What do you think? (Note, our names have been erased for this blog)

A sneak peek at a project....

It's not quite finished, but almost.... but this is the embroidery part of the project that IS finished :)

A sneak peek at our Christmas card shoot

Every year I do a photo shoot to put some pics on xmas cards. Saturday we did the shoot - and here is a sample of some of them. :)

24 weeks until Christmas (October)

How are you going with your projects?

I must admit my projects have come to a grinding halt because Uni is my number 1 priority, but I'll get there!! :)

Here is the linky thing for you to add your projects to - I can't wait to see what you make!

BTW, It's not 24 weeks anymore. It's 79 sleeps... which is approx 11 weeks away. Don't panic, you have 79 whole sleeps.... :)
