little boy lost

Tonight I finally pulled out the pattern and fabric I have been promising myself I would get to and look what I found, a little boy on horseback lost in the pattern packet. aww I sort of felt a bit sorry for this little fella lost. There must be a Mum somewhere wondering where he is.
I love these old photos. It's the exact format all my childhood photos are in, why did they ever change!
I also love this sweet little pattern. I'm making the little blue number and have gotten all inspired by the local love stocking to cut into some of Lara Cameron's bonsai for the pockets. I love the shape of these pockets and the zip down the front of the pini! Cute and in apple green cord, way cute. Hopefully Tully will think so too!

my creative space

Intensely pink,isn't it! My creative space today consists of invite's for Miss Tully's 5th birthday and a bit of clip making. Of course Tully's favourite colour is pink and the more intense the better, whose isn't at that age?

I had planned on making the invite's with the gocco but after wasting 3 screens and 3 sets of bulbs, I realised the image wasn't carbon based and thus would not work, so I just printed them on the printer. The same printer that I've bought with the intention of using for gocco! derrrrr. Oh well, Tully doesn't care and I'm sure the invitee's won't care either....but i do!

The clips are for the local love stocking over on ozebaby. There's a few others up and going up today or tomorrow (depends if the baby who is attached to me and refuses to sleep by herself, will actually settle). Auctions that are up will be finishing today. Crazily there are a pair of tikki's awesome pants that have not even had a bid! Do you know how awesome these are!!! Quick go and bid on them now!



And this is my big soon to be 5 year old. She finished kindy yesterday and starts school after the holidays (weirdo SA schooling). Oh my goodnes they just grow way too fast! And yes, she does believe she's a princess, although she does want to grow up to be a fairy or a mermaid and thinks she should be going to mermaid school.

Today i dropped into my fav second-hand shop for a quick browse and look what I found, two vintage sheet sets still in the pack. The children's one I think my sis tikki may have had as a child but in red tones. It has a very funky Noah's ark imagery and will be kept intact for the little peoples beds. Now the Sheridan sheets are double bed size and i won't use. I did consider keeping the pillowcase to make a dress but think it'd be nice to see the complete set go to a new home, so if you'd like them leave a comment and I'll send them your way. First in, best dressed:)

eta thanks for all your lovely comments:) Since Tashalou was first in,she gets best dressed so to speak. thanks again

sage's rainbow

Sage had a day out in her rainbow dress today and doesn't she look sweet, sweet, sweet! I love the pastel rainbow, the sweet style, picot edging but most of all I love that gurgling, giggling, ball of squealling and screeching scrumminess that is my little Sage.



She's a big 4 months old now, gosh where did that go? And she's easy! She doesn't sleep through and I'm not really sure that she ever has, she loves to be with me ALL the time and I love to be with her too. Life is certainly busier but I prefer to call it fuller:) Anyway, back to the rainbow dress that this post is about!

Did I mention I love the tones? Well they are plant dyes but I'm not sure of any of the other spec's except that it came from NZ. I love how the sleeves sit, a little bit different to the original pattern; a bit more like a cap sleeve. And the fit is just perfect on sage. It's a size 6 months and my chubby little 4 month will be in it for a long long time, I see her wearing it as a top in a years time. Thanks tik, we love love love it!

my creative space

My creative space has been documented today by my little miss, Tully. Loves a bit of camera action she does, and has quite a good eye for it too. Out of every 20 shots there's always a few good shots, great composition and in focus to boot!

Anyway I digress, today in my creative space a bit of knitting has been going on. Me and knitting have never gone to well together but my clever sis, Tikki has been visiting and she always inspires me to pick up the needles. I was going to have a go at one of her rainbow dresses but once the stitch marker came out and there was talk of increases and stuff, I threw it in and opted for a scarf. Easy knitting and me are great friends. One day I may have a go at a rainbow but for now scarf's are great, and much needed to boot. Double winner!

And why do I need to knit anyway when the ever clever and generous sis gifts me with awesome knits. This visit was populated with quite a few knitting gifts, however, the most fabulous were the very popular milo vest and a very special little rainbow dress. Tikki has recently released the pattern for the milo over on ozebaby and it's selling like hotcakes. Asher's features the owl cable but there are many more cable styles to choose from. See why it's so popular? And apparently super easy for beginners, although I wouldn't know as it does incude stitchmarkers and omg cables!!!



And now for the rainbow dress for the very sweet Sage. Gorgeous yes! I haven't tried it on her yet, it's still drying after blocking.



This very special little rainbow has a few variations to the normal pattern though. Check out the oh so cute sleeve and a little picot hem. It will also feature a little ribbon through the bodice when I get of my butt and find some. Modelling shots to come soon.



It sure is the weather for knitting. Brrrrrr winter has set in down here, I reckon there may be even more knitting creative spaces over at Kirsty's.

my creative space

Today I'm on the floor, in front of the heater stuffing pixies. Getting this guy ready to join his girlfriends.
