After a very slow start to the last week, I managed yesterday to finish an outfit for Kyla and also a few other bits & pieces that I have had cut out for a while.

The top is similar to the dresses I have made in the past, but has a crossover at the front. It does look cut but definitely need to work on the design. The pants are just a simple short, but gathered with an adjustable waist.

Of course, and I will entirely blame someone else for this (you know who you are Miss R) I went to the fabric shop yesterday, just for a look. Funniest thing I have said in a long time, me looking in a fabric store. I did manage to get some bargins, now just to work out what to do with it all.

I think I need to join a group called "Fabric Shoppers Anon" because my double cupboard upstairs is full of fabrics and yet I keep buying more. This week I have also agreed to by a heap of flannel of someone over east as she isn't using it anymore, like I need more flannel for nappies

Not sure how much more creating will happen in the next few weeks as we are off overseas on Thursday morning (bright and early mind you) for a holiday. I however might manage to get some cutting down of some of the new and wonderful fabrics I seem to be collecting.

A quick note on a wonderful blog I found this morning while having my morning tea (thanks Anita!). It's called Handmade Kids and WOW is there some amazing handmade things that she has found on her travelings of the www.

Also Kathryn has put up a great entry about local handmade markets, check it out at Aussie Kids Boutique.

I often look at my children and can only imagine what they are seeing through their eyes, what they are thinking, how they are feeling. Sometimes Kyla has this amazing look on her face, like the whole world is wiating for her to explore it or she makes an adorable sound that says it all.

I look into their eyes and just wonder....

Surely I am not the only person that does this or that could possibly sit for hours on end just looking at their eyes. Another thing that amazes me is how different our eyes can be in comparison to our family members, people with the same parents. Truly we really are all unique, even if at times we don't think or feel it.

A few minutes to myself to have a quick look at what was out in the land of www for me to dream of purchasing for kids, for me to use to make something for the kids. Oh there really are some wonderful things out there.

This is one of my first finds, a store on Etsy called OneFatSlug. I so wish that I could knitted more than just a scarf.



This is adorable and a desgin that I have cut ready to make for Kyla already. Not as fancy as this one, in a plainer print which is more my style but this one is bright and would brighten up a winters day. It is from Ogekko.


I found these adorable hairclips, they are just so cute. They come from Siiri and there is a great range of other products in store too, now if only I could decide on which ones to get for Miss Kyla, or maybe for my neice for her April birthday.




And one last find before I have to rush off to a friends place for lunch.


These are by far my favourite find for today and definately on my present purcahse list. They are from Rosieok and one of many beautiful handmade toys available.


Even better they are only $3.00 each, BARGIN!



Enough window shopping for today.

I had two of these finished by Monday night. Amazing what you can achieve when your children play happily, alone, without you for a change.
