sleep overs

Byron has a sleep over tonight and has to take a sleeping bag.
he has a couple including a fairly new croc hunter one that i was all set to make a bag for (i bought it on sale as it was missing it's bag)

So in my mind i was making a camo cover this was until he decided he wanted to take the old sleeping bag, this i am sure has a bag but as i was prepared to sew i didnt argue that he had LOOKED properly hehe.

so we now have a tartan sleeping bag cover with a few spots you shouldnt look at due to the math needed to get measurements correct haha

where oh where is 2009.

it seemed to rush past me in about june and i can't catch up.well obviously it has been a while and i wont bore yuo with those mundane day to day details.

i will however share some sewing i have recently done.

i have been sewing but not blogging.

skirts are currently the flavour as the weather warms up.

Ainsley will never run out of skirts or dresses i can assure you of that but as they are fun to make i will continue to make them lol.

My princess will only wear skirts that twirl so the latest addition is the circular skirt---fantastic twirl ability.
Ainsley has decided to share the twirling "need" with her twin friends so i made them a skirt each and had a request for another one.

here are some pics.

Ainsley's christmas skirt for her daycare party tomorrow is also there, i had a t shirt from last year that will still fit so i just added a little bling to make it go with the skirt a bit better.

so you think they will be ok?

sorry byron

after my wordless weekend post yesterday i got in trouble from byron as i didnt put a photo of him with the snake.

so here it is.

wordless weekend

birthdays,birthdays and more birthdays.

August is a full on month for birthdays around here we have 5 from the family and about the same with friends.

so today i went out to lunch with a few friends for 3 of the girls birthdays.

and may i add had a great time.

i figured this morning i couldnt go empty handed so i quickly whipped up these.

handy little zippered purses, they were so easy i am planning a few more.

i love the fact that they are versatile and practical but simple.

cookies and giggles

Yesterday afternoon the boys went to the footy with friends and the friends daughter stayed with Ainsley and I.

it was so nice to have an older girl for Ainsley to play with with no boys to interupt the girly giggles, and to be a girl that ainsley knows well but doesnt get one on one time with.

They had so much fun.

we baked some cookies, played with dolls made a slide with a blow up materess and my fabric stash lol

Milly got me a cookie and this is the one i got.

Just to put it in comparrison to what the girls got to eat.
