Waiting…

I have realised that I am not a very patient person! Waiting is really not much fun especially when while you are waiting you cant sleep, you have to pee every half hour and sometimes it is too painful to walk! Yes I am officially overdue! Baby was due 2 days ago and I am very ready for him/her to come OUT!

Knitting distracts me a little but I keep starting projects that I can take into the hospital and knit after the baby is born (ie easy projects) and I keep finishing them! So off to find something else to cast on today.

Not a lot of sewing happening here…to uncomfortable sitting at the sewing table for too long. I do have a custom order I need to get stuck into though so maybe I should just use that to distract me for a while!

I hope the next time you all hear from me it is to introduce our new addition!

Introducing Wee Threads

Today I officially launched my online store “Wee Threads”

I have denim bibs for both girls and boys and sun dresses and shirred skirts. If you don’t see what you are after in the size that you need let me know and I can see what I can come up with.

Apricots and Peaches!

Not to eat I am afraid but this yarn is almost as yummy! The yarn is from the Yarn Cafe and I had a semi solid dyed to match.

To do this beautiful yarn justice there was a lot of ripping back involved in this dress as I wanted it to be perfect and I am happy with the end result. I stuffed up a few of the decreases in the soaker but you can’t see them if you don’t look too hard!

Pattern: Rainbow Dress and Vanilla Soaker (Rav Links)

Yarn: Woolganics 8ply Apricot Peach by the Yarn Cafe and semi solid dyed to match

Shabby Apple Dare to Design Lawn Frock GIVEAWAY!!!!

Ok, so I have NO chance of fitting my 29 week pregnant body into this dress but maybe if i am good I will fit it post baby!

Boy Fabrics!

When I started sewing to sell I started using up some of my stash and have been able make lots of gorgeous girls things but sadly nothing for little boy due to the absence of boy fabrics in my stash. Well I am finally able to start on some little boy things as I have received a small selection of gorgeous boy fabrics from Fabric Shoppe on Etsy. I love them and these are the sort of fabrics I would use to dress a little boy in if I had one and I hope you all love them as much as I do! I hope to be able to show you some boy items in the coming weeks.

Magic Yarn Ball Swap

A huge thankyou to Belinda who was my swap partner for the Magic Yarn Ball swap I signed up for on Ravelry. I totally love my yarn and all the goodies!
