Sunshine and Lollipops

I had called this "Recovering a Step Stool", but thought that was WAY to boring.

A few months back, Miss 4 and I went out around the town to run some errands. 
We drove past one street that had a sign saying 'Garage Sale'.
I did what anybody in their right mind would do and went right to it!!
Miss 4 fell in love with a step stool thing. 
I let her get it for three reasons;
1. It brought back memories of my childhood
2. I hoped it would stop arguments over the 1 IKEA step we have 
3. It was $2 

Bless the girl, there was another one there that was in better condition, but she chose this one.


(forgot to take a picture before I pulled it apart, my bad)

The bottom wasn't too bad, just a bit out of shape, which hubby quickly fixed this morning.

After a quick extremely long trip to Spotlight to buy a staple gun, (can you believe hubby has a shed full of 'stuff' but no staple gun?!?!) this is what it looks like now.


Much better with some IKEA fabric (which doesn't seem to be available anymore).


Hope she likes it!!

Oh, and what's with Blogger turning all my photos the wrong way?!?!

What's New?

My new fabric labels

A new set for Little Miss 4
(who now wears a size 6 shirt)

Fabric for Custom Orders

Here is the start of many, many fabrics that I currently have. I will be adding photos of more as soon as I take them. Which will be when I organise my fabric cabinet. Which looks like it would take a lifetime.

Doin' It For The Kids

Just wanted to share a picture of the matching shorts/singlet set that I've made to donate to the Kid's Market Central Vic's auction for Bendigo Centre Care's Christmas Toy Drive. 

Wow, that was a mouthful!

Here's the link for the auction

I am in <3 with that little bird!

about telling me about that garage sale..........


Meh, it was only 6 bucks!

The Chicken or The Egg?

After a week or so of being too afraid to crack this baby;

I finally made the hubby do it, and this is what came out

Not exactly the triple yolker we were expecting (secretly hoping for!), however we were still able to turn it into some delicious Golden Syrup Dumplings!!! 
Thanks Nesty (AKA Old Faithful)!!!

Works In Progress

 One Birthday Present
Two Christmas Presents 
 A Whole Lot of Gnomes
 A Girly AIO
And some organisation for the crafty corner!!

That's what I've been up to this week. Hoping the hubby gets around to fixing up my fabric storage tonight, I need to get my stuff sorted!!!
Then off to the Steiner School Fair and to the big smoke to celebrate 2 family birthdays on Sunday (one is the big 5-0!!!), with another 3 family birthdays on Monday! 
Busy, busy weekend, hopefully back to the creating next week. I've got some cute ideas for boys clothes!
