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.

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

elk

I'm pretty stoked with my latest brooch, by melbourne designers elk. I love the tree silhouette and the cute little leaf but most of all I love that I can wear it without worrying about it hurting the little miss, as it's made from felt. The loveliest thickest felt ever. Upon returning home from my purchase, I discover that elk is actually my favourite new brand as the last few jewellery purchases have been from elk, and I didn't even realise it. I'm so not a diamonds and gold girl, hate it actually. Me, I'm a resin and wood sort of girl and elk is my new fav, well it's up there with dinosaur designs who will always be my fav. I was also super stoked to discover they have a sale section with lots of fabulous things very cheap, go check them out if you dare.

living vicariously

I'm often told that little miss Tully is a mini me, so it seems I'm beginning to live vicariously through her, well at least in my choices of shoes for her. For ages I have been wanting a new pair of vans, old skool ones just like the ones I used to wear when I was younger (I was going to say young but changed it to younger to make myself feel better) Well I've had no luck at all in my searching but today whilst walking past some sports shop there they were and on sale to boot, but damn they were a kids size 9. Hang on though, Tully's a size 9 and I need to buy her sneakers for school. So here they are on her, I want them but no....but then again I would also like to be wearing those cute stripey stockings but no....

my creative space

This morning I got up with the intention of being very creative and get some pixies finished. I had nearly completed one the night before but had retired after "Lost" was finished (now what is going on in that show!). So the intention was there 80% but the achievement was more like 10%. I only had a couple of jobs, you know like pop the nappies in the machine and sweep the floor sort of stuff, not heaps of housework. But no....the kids had other plans. You know those days when the little one won't sleep for more than 20 min, you don't get to shower until lunch time and you escape mid arvo as it's all going crazy. So today I'm posting a piccie of where everything sat waiting for me to get to it. There's a nearly finished pixie in way cool cookie fabric, some more on top of the little yellow sewing box awaiting some attention and some paper waiting to be goccoed for thanks you's for pressies for the little miss, all waiting, waiting, waiting... Today all I achieved was some blanket stitiching on half a wing. That's it!

Oh look I just spied Tully's fabulous soup packet creation and some missing snappies (so that's where they are!) Much more interesting creative spaces over at Kirsty's.

sneak peeks

So finally there's a couple of promo piccies up of the much talked about stocking tikki and i are having soon, very soon.



Mind you it's not everything, there's still more to come. Keep posted, it's gonna be ace!
