Cutting out...

So many skirts, and a dress & I'm sure a few others under the pile.

I now have to seriously start putting head down, tail up and sew!!!!

Finished one skirt, half way through another with Tanya having to find the third thisafternoon for me....

I went to show her the fabrics I had choosen for the skirts...couldn't find one for nothing!!!

Tan, bless her, found it in the draw which I can now remember throwing it into.

I really need to get some order into my little sewing knook.

I have taken 4 days (more like one day) after returning from holidays to get some serious piles and mess happening. Mind you, my folding, ironing (am i kiding myself!), washing, stacking of clothes is all in there as well.

I think tomorrow a few hours are going to be put aside for some re-arranging:)

Off I go to make a coffee, sorry, tea... and think about how I will re-arrange my little fabric corner....

Much goodness to you all...

BIG POLLEN! (for adults)

Ok everyone, Tanya & I have got together & are now busy making adult clothes....

I must admit it is all whilst looking after children, shopping for yet more fabric, cleaning,cooking, feeding animals, blogging, shopping on etsy, etc. etc.

We did do a trip today to a fabric shop Tanya knew about, & I didn't, Tanya has opened up a whole new world of fabric shopping locally to me:)

What will my husband say?!!!

So, Tanya & I have been putting together fabric combinations & choosing what to make with what.....
very hard when all fabric is just so yummy & we don't know where to start!!!

Soon we will have some skirts ready for adults to go to The Story Tree.

Then we are also making some pants for the men in our lives, we might even get some into The Story Tree as well....

Better go & get ready for Brown Owls in at my favorite place (yes, The Story Tree).

Visiting Grandma's House

Ohhhhh.....what a wonderful lunch I just had....

With my Grandma, Poppy and my husband and two little boys.

I love visiting my Grandma, I use to just about live there when I was growing up.

My sister and I filled our days mainly horse riding, but also cooking, sewing, and playing.

My Grandma taught me to knit, whilst at a very low point in my life.

I so love and respact my Grandma and Poppy.

Today was only a few hours spent with Grandma, but ohhhh what treasures she gave me:)

From old magazines, buttons, cotton thread and fabric. My Grandma knows my heart. So much vintage

goodness. This is my Grandma who hasn't thrown out anything! It might just have a use some day...

She even gave me a quick lesson in crocheting.

I LOVE MY GRANDMA...

HAPPY:)

Ok...I think I could be getting the hang of blogging...

Yes, I fixed my header, & the overall look of my log all by myself. This is a huge
leap for me in the world of blogging.

Blogs are blogging me down

I can not get my header to line up properly:(

I might have to take it into Shannyn when I go to Brown Owls on Thrusday....

So Shannyn if you read this I'll do a batter- I'll put pockets on your apron dress if you centre my blog!!!!???

Shannyn Apron Dress for MADDIE

Here is a sneek peek of the Apron Dress I am making for Maddie...

Has that got you thinking?

My favourite thing at the moment is dressing the girls in at THE STORY TREE-Boonah.

And, I'm glad to hear Sally loved her Shannyn Apron Dress...

MY BOYS, and little birdie....

They are so precious....

My two little boys....

Even the pusst cat was in for a snuggle this morning.

When they sleep in with us they have to get as close as possible...mummy was in Eric's bed, Daddy had arisen for the day. They had each other.....

This little birdie flew into our balcony window, became very disorientated. They are so fragile, we placed him in the tree where all the little neighbourhood birdies live.

BUSY,BUSY,BUSY.

Mother's Day yesterday.

I had a wonderful day...

I received a mug full of lollies (which my boys loved eating...I'm not much of a lolly eater!)

A bath bomb (which my boys loved having a strawberry flavoured bath last night!)

Some body wash (which I did get to use:)

I also received a devine French book...'FRENCH ESSENCE...ambience, beauty & style in provence"

By Vickie Archer ohhh lala......

I am spoilt...

I also was able to quite a bit of sewing...

Fabric choosen!

Ann-Marie's Skirt....finally made it for her...

I even added a pocket!

With vintage button from Grandma's button tin.

I am so very tempted to keep this for myself...but I promised to make her one")

I Loved making this skirt...

Also, made this little OOAK skirt. It is  for that little girl who adores a good tea party:)

I decided to add a vintage button to the pocket..

Listing!!!

Finally......

I have listed something else at my etsy store.
http://www.mandiknit.etsy.com/

My etsy store doesn't come under the name of 'POLLEN love.life.passion.'
for a very good reason!

I can't remember the password! Before everyone starts telling me to just reset it, don't waste your time....
I can't remember the email address where the reset password has been sent to!!!!

So, for those who live far away from me, here is where you can purchase a little bit (or a lot) of POLLEN.

I hope you enjoy:)

Don't forget I love doing custom clothing.

My Apricot/Pink pile....one of many!

My Little Speed Machine...

I just had to show you my gorgeous 3 year old....Cup cakes were had, and lots of fun and playing. He had a great day.
