Sunnies & Scarves

Ava has recently decided that it is cool to leave your sunnies on instead of ripping them off immediately. So we tried out Poppy's magnifying glasses - which had Poppy and I in fits of laughter. Then at the airport she tried on some cool Le Specs - same serious but too cool face in both photo's. Very Funny!



I have been making some kiddie scarves and trying out a few different fabrics. There are the ones so far.







I have also been attempting some mittens for Ava's icicle fingers that she gets when we go to the park but they come out looking like tiny oven mitts so I have to think of a better way.

Hugs to Mum & Hugs to Dad

Today I went to Frankston - Yay! Ava and I visited Myer toy section while my Dad looked at model helicotpers next door. Ava went completely nuts in the toy section she just keep picking up one thing after another and couldn't understand why the "Doll Doll" was in a plastic box. It was so cute her looking through the plastic at the dolly's. She ended up finding a corner of the shop, sitting down and playing with her new friends. She was very lucky - her Poppy got her a new Ernie giggling thing and a green rainbow Care Bear the one I had when I was little.




I also recieved a lovely big bag of embroidery thread from the op shop that my Mum had sent over for me and I shared it with Valli she was very excited too! There was this very cool Monogram Embroidery Set that has little fold out alphabet transfers inside. Thanks Mum Big Hugs to you!




Then my amazingly handy Dad fixed up my Mum's on borrow to me new overlocker. He pulled the whole thing apart and found the problem, oiled it up and now it works like a treat - So So Happy! I have very clever father. Thanks Dad Big Hugs to you!

Tommy's Bed

Ava loves her books at the moment - she also likes to copy her big cousin Valli and was lying on her tummy reading with her - so cute! Ava is trying to say many new words and it is funny to listen to her babbling trying to be very serious but you can't understand a word of it.

Had a busy week and not done much sewing this week - but last week I did make little Tom a bed cover from a bag of fabric's Georgie had at home.


I am still trying to figure out all the bits of blogging and it has taken me four days to try and get the security settings right on the computer so I can get into blogger - now I feel like an idiot because it's so easy when you just follow instructions.
