Day 189 - Productive Day


I have set myself a very long list of things to do these holidays. With Ava still unwell, a pyjama day was necessary. Olivia and Ava happily played while I had a very productive day finishing 2 skirts, a quilt face and preparing for another to be sewn together. I find that when the sewing machine comes out I really must get as much done as I can because it does not get out as often as i'd like.

I know the girls are going to love their skirts, will just have to start on the next couple - they'll be ready for Spring, I hope.

Day 27 - Sewing Sally


Thanks to Carlyn teaching me some tricks of the trade I made the girls a skirt and some hairclips while on holidays. I have now a to do list, including making them another skirt which is already cut out and ready to go, to get this craft going again.

Today's photo is before the girls wore their skirts and hairclips for the first time. They loved twirling around in their skirts and it is one of the first times I have dressed them in nearly the same clothes. I can see we are entering a new and scary era of dressing alike. I had better get busy making some skirts so we can mix and match!
