I’m tired.
Dish Pig just got home from 2 weeks States side, and I’m happy to see him (well, you know, until he adds to my mess, and the kids mess. then he’s dead).
He bought me lippy and sunnies, which is fun, and some new fangled gadget for pictures/camera/laptop which will be great WHEN I CAN LOAD STUFF ONTO THE WEBPAGE (hinthint).
I haven’t been sewing so much, too busy washing clothes and watching my baby drag itself around on my filthy floors. I’ll mop them one day. Perhaps by then the baby could do it for me?
I’m going to attempt a rather tricky item for me. Yes me. I’m making something for myself.
It is quite tricky, and I reckon I won’t be using the same prints or colours as those on the pattern envelope, going for a more 80s tonal mode.
Also a skirt for Hex and her impending birthday.
I had loony ideas about a handmade xmas (just like the ones we used to know…….lada da.da.da.da……sorry) and have foregone that for the old consumerist style, with grand visions for next year.
I’m drooling over coverstitch machines from babylock, and am very well aware that I have neither the cash, ability, space or dire need for one. Still. It can do scrummy stuff with stretch, and I soooooo want to master the art of stretch. (I could even just poke my toe in the waters before the actual mastery, I suppose.)
New year resolution will be to get blog looking attractive, get mousepocket rolling quicker, and etsy pumping as well.
Anyone got any requests?

Oooh, I saw that pattern in your Zoo the other day and I lusted over the top, actually! The fabric in that skirt is…ho-hum. Mum and I saw the worst 70s throwback at Coles today – tight white t-shirt tucked in to micro shorts with a rear view camel toe. Like something off Sons & Daughters. Mum lost track of her convo and said really loudly “It’s impossible to concentrate when you have that in front of you”. The poor girl heard every word, I’m sure.
Perhaps she’ll think next time about the camel toe.
Requests for your etsy site: cool retro/recycled trousers and long sleeve shirts for 3 year olds.
Cool looking shirts for me – it’s hard to find a noice blouse on etsy…
