PJ Bags/Holders for the Boys.

1 comments
These are for my 2 boys for Christmas, PJ bags (they have a zip under there belly with a little bag inside to hold there PJ's). An Elephant and a Dog.
The Elephant for Dominic, his ears are the same one is just flopped back to show the contrast underneath.

Ok his ear seems to have flopped back in every photo but I promise his ears are the same both sides.


And the Thomas Dog for my 'Train' made 2 year old AJ.
I am quite sure that this Dog will be called 'Puppy' just as he nicknamed the Cat I made for the Swap 'Catty'.

A little pair of Christmas shoes for my little man to go with his Christmas Playsuit!!!
These are quick and easy to make. I had to make 2 pairs as the first didn't fit him, the second pair were a lot quicker to make.

Spring Ruffle Top

1 comments
We had a 21st and 30th to go to all in the one night, and since having the two boys I have not lost the 'baby weight' yet, and don't think I ever will, so I had no clothes to wear......So I decided I would make myself a top to wear.....
So a few days before the parties I was running around trying to find material etc, and this is what I came up with at last minute.
It is the Spring Ruffle Top.
A close up of me with the top on.

Me with the top on...DH was picking on me as he was taking the photo so for some reason I wasn't standing up straight, I think I was laughing and told him to wait for the pic but he took it anyway and being male wouldn't take another as that was 'good' enough!!!!
I was a bit worried while making the top as I tried it on several times and it made me look 'pregnant' but when I finished it I spent some time fiddling with it and I ended up tapering the sides in a bit I still looked a little 'pregnant' but oh well who cares at least I had a top to wear, turning up in just a bra is not a good look.........LOL!!!

A 21st Prezzie

4 comments
We got invited to DH's cousins 21st on Sat night and I was stuck as to what to get her, then I remembered the pattern for the Overnight Tote I had and have been wanting to try for donkies, so I also has some material that I thought would be perfect........
Then I thought what can I make to go with it, So Vik suggested I make a cosmetic roll for cosmetic brushes and while I was looking for a tute I found a tute for a pyramid purse and had to try it out too..........
So the tote bag, cosmetic roll and pyramid purse all together!!!



The overnight tote


The cosmetic roll opened with the brushes and a mirror. The last slot is empty and a little larger than the other slots but I thought it would perfect to put lipstick in????



The pyramid purse.
I hope she likes it!!!!!!
