SLACK SLACK SLACK!!!

Goodness me! Is that the date? I look away and step back from the sewing machine and two months just wizzes by! I think it must be high time I got back on the machine!

I have actually sewn ONE item in this time. It was a gift for a friends baby, a halfmoon pillow.....I thought it was pretty funky! It had his name and birthday sewn into it too! Sadly, I didnt take any photos...I will have to ask her to flick some to me! Perhaps the quality of the pillow was the greatest....this was when I discovered that wine and sewing machines don't mix...despite what the user thinks!! haha "Oh WOW, I am really good at sewing tonight, I am going really fast and not making any mistakes and it looks GREAT.....the next morning...."Oh...dam...looks like I have some fixing to do" HAHA. It WAS fun though!

I have been very busy setting up TWO businesses. Our main family one, a brake machining business that the Mechanic runs (its mobile) and my own one selling handsfree stroller adaptors...see my facebook page www.facebook.com/StrollSmartNZ I have a couple of expos coming up...so things will remain slow on here for a while, but I AM sewing a wee dress for my friends little girl this weekend. Here it is:free-pattern-baby-dresstunic I am a bit in love with this lady and her gorgeous boy! The things she makes are so cool! And her blog is fun to read! I wish I could zip over to Norway and meet her!! Instead I will just follow her life and sew up some of her groovey ideas!

On the 1984 pattern front...have nothing yet.... :-( Not to worry though...all in good time!

So anywho....This weekend will be dedicated to sewing and hanging with Neo and the Little Who! (whose birthday was last week...so I HAVE been busy! Here is a pic of the epic teddy bear cake!)






 Here are some other cool things we have been up to lately in this crazy New Zealand weather!!!! Aparently its been about 40 years since it snowed like this in our town! It was MAGIC!
 Check out the Paua Shell eyes!!! A little bit of beach in the blizzard!!!!!!!!!
