The gorgeous Robbie modelling a new outfitYou may not believe me given the lack of evidence posted in recent times here on this blog. But I do sew, I really do. I admit things have slowed down a little over the Christmas/summer period but my list of ideas is growing. Does a list and a sketch book count as actual sewing/craft? I think it does...
And when I have made things I have failed to capture them on the camera. We made a lovely tea cosy from this book for our Big Nana and I sewed gifts for the beautiful new babies Belle and Robbie.
I have added a few more fabrics to the growing collection and found some great craft bargains at the op shop in the lead up to Christmas. Bags of wool for 2.00 and embroidery thread all neatly bound on card for 2.00 and a huge bag of leather for 5.00
And now my little Minnie is ready to go with her very own sewing machine. I had a toy a sewing machine as a child and I loved it (its still at my parents house). So for the big 3rd birthday Minnie received her very own vintage Vulcan Countess. I have cleverly left the needle out for now. So far Minnie has 'sewn' silkies (security blankets) for her toys, a hat for her bears and some bibs for our friend Jude. Of course these are all little bits of fabric that she zooms through her machine and come out looking very much like little bits of fabric. Very cute.
Whats on your crafting list for 2009? My top 5 are; sewing some new clothes for Minnie, making dresses for the shop, hemming the curtains in 2 bedrooms (I think 4 weeks is enough time for them to drop), cushion covers, and other new exciting things for the shop. I think Minnie is working on a quilt...

The onsie is just gorgeous too.
I can't wait to see more of Minnie's fabulous and imaginative creations.
