KCWC – Days 3-5

I actually finished something! I know it would be so much faster if I only worked on one item at a time but I have been working on 3 so each has been getting a little done on it each night. Day 5 I did not sew. My husband was away and I was sulking and instead of sewing I ate Milo out of the tin! I am sure I would have felt a lot better about my evening if I had sewn instead! I have grand plans for tonight so hopefully I can get these kids into bed early and get a lot done!

These are for a lovely friend…actually they are for her little boy Eli. They will be in the post on Monday Tanya! Hope you like them.

Ballet Lessons

I don’t think there is anything that could be cuter that 15 little 3-5 years olds running around in leotards and tutus (pink of course!). That has been my Saturday mornings for the last couple of months. My two are finally joining in properly and now love they weekly dace lesson. I just couldn’t help but share a couple of photos I took of them last week before their lessons!

If you like their gorgeous skirts then head over to the Princess Boo Facebook page. There is 30% off all pre-orders of Pettiskirts, BabyLegs and Baby Bella Maya…but this offer ends tonight! 

Due to Blogger problems the sale has now ended BUT all my blog readers will have the offer extended to Monday morning so just mention the blog and you can still get the discount!

KCWC – days 1 & 2

I feel like a bit of a fraud as I did the first two days in one and now I don’t have any photos for you! I haven’t finished anything yet but I do have 3 pairs of BBB Pants almost finished and I was out all of today and as I hate taking night time photos and it is nearly dark here already I have taken none.

BUT I do have something else to share. I finished knitting this jacket for Eve last week and finally got the buttons sewn on over the weekend. It was part of the Budding Designers Downunder KAL and is the Young Einstein Jacket. I did want it to have a hood but I didn’t have enough yarn. Speaking of the yarn it is Celia’s Basket Comfort 8 and it is gorgeous to knit with!

   

Oh and I can’t forget the hat! It is Elliot’s Beanie. This was my compromise when i didn’t have enough for a hood!

I will finish those pants off tonight and then I might cut a skirt for Isla. I am thinking  of a  Girly Pleated Skirt by Heidi and Finn, maybe in denim to go with everything! I love the little pleats! SO cute!

KCWC

One hour a day for 7 days…I am starting a day late so I have 2 hours to do today. I already had plans to sew this week and it is more fun to do it with others!

Something cute

Oh how I love to dream about all the gorgeous things I would love to make! This is one of the latest things that is on my list!

Picture from The Red Thread

Hello Birdie Pillow – I think this would be gorgeous in my girls rooms. Pinks and greens for Elsa and Isla, and aqua and red for Eve!

Puffy Sleeved Shrug

I feel so lucky to be part of a lovely group of ladies on Ravelry many who are also talented designers. I always know when their latest design is coming out and sometimes I even get to test the pattern which it exciting. My latest test knit was this gorgeous little shrug for Tanya of Tanya Knits. It was a lovely quick knit and the fit is just perfect. I have made other shrugs in the past and they don’t always fit nicely. Some kind of fall off the shoulders and others seem a little tight around the back but this one is perfect. It will actually end up being for Isla I think(modelled by Elsa) and I have plans for a dress to go with it…just need to find the time to get that one started.
