What better present for a dancer

than three little items embroidered with ballet dancers. I did this set for a little dancing friend for whom we are attending a party next Sunday. I hope she likes them.

Cross off the list

I am doing quite well with my list.

1. Downsized my quilt - check!

2. Abby's curtains - check!

3. One towel done for Christmas

4. Santa sacks in the works

5. Rebecca's christmas dress complete

So although not too many completions lots of work done towards completions.

I have this picture of Rebecca's dress she looks beautiful in it. This was still pinned as I had tried the straps on and have to sew them. I can't wait for her to wear it in her santa photo. Abby's dress will be a similar design but green and candy canes. Now just to get them to sit with santa when the time comes.

I wish I could think of more exciting things to write in my blog and better titles but I just lack writing creativity sorry guys! Thanks for looking.

Ramblings

So we are on the move and I thought I would put down in writing the sewing projects that I want to complete before we go!

1 - Downsize my king quilt cover to a queen.

2 - Abby's curtains.

3 - Rebecca's curtains.

4 - Our curtains (do you sense a theme here lol)

5 - Playroom cushions

6 - Rebecca's cushions

7 - All my santa stocking orders - example shown let me know if you want one

8 - Embroidered towels for xmas presents.

9 - Last but not least Christmas dresses and tshirts for the girls. WOW!

Amongst packing up a house laughable aye.

Bedroom project.

Stage one Disney Princess room complete. Stay tuned to see the final product when we move!! Despite the material being too narrow I got around it by overlocking 7 inches off the inner and adding a ruffle to the edges to make it wide enough to fit down the sides of the bed. Just need to add buttons and iron it and it is complete. I do not want to see another gathered project for quite some time.!!

Just need to get material to make two pillowcases and some cushions and complete the curtains and it will be done. Sounds easy huh!

My girls

Every day I cannot believe how grown up looking the girls are getting. I certainly don't have any babies any more. This was taken just before I took Rebecca to her Dora Explorer concert. We did not tell her until the night before and she was so excited.

And of course what do you do when you don't want your little sister to keep interrupting your playing - you barricade her in her wardrobe under all her toys!!
