pifah's baby

My friend Pifah is expecting her first baby in December and she's asked me to make some stuff for her ... or rather, for her baby. I had a lot of fun making up stuff for the little one. Her name is Maisarah, very similar to mine!

silent auction

Hannah's school is organising a Carnival Under the Stars at the end of August and I've donated a few little bags for the silent auction. Hope they sell!

sports day

Hannah had her first sports day last friday. She took part in the races and mini-olympics events. It was a load of fun. Sean was there to watch her run and she was very pleased about that.

my work sew far

smile, giraffe

Found some onesies at a discount store and bought a whole bunch to applique. Of course I had to start with a set for Emma :) I think it turned out quite well. The onesie is actually a little small for her - well, she's nearly 2 and a half! - so I only buttoned the middle snap fastener on her bottom. For once, I managed to sew the pants so it fits perfectly. (Pat on the back for me :)

hat and bag

I cut out some fabric to make a new hat for Hannah as she doesn't have one that she can wear socially. (I didn't realise how much harder it is to make sure she has things to wear outside of school uniform!) Anyway, it turned out too small so this hat goes to Emma. I'll enlarge the pattern and start another one for Hannah ... soon :)

A friend of mine is having a baby girl and she's asked if I could make some stuff for the baby. She hasn't actually gone into specifics yet but I got all inspired and started this bag.

ipod nano holder

Sean bought an ipod nano for me when he was over in the US recently. I've finally figured out how to charge it after the battery went flat a couple of weeks ago -yes, I know, I am definitely NOT a techie! The earphones that came with it wasn't working out for me so Sean gave me one of his. It is much better because it allows me to wear the ipos around my neck like on a lanyard. I made a little bag for it using a 'Monkey 'n' Around' fabric with a matching red lining.
