Man, I tell you what, this blogging business along with Fat
Mum Slim’s January Photo-A-Day Challenge has been keeping me BUSY. Well, THAT and four kids. Lol.
I did not get a frame for my cross stitch. I did however buy several photo frames to put
up around the house. I even got photo
paper so I can print the photos. It is something
I’ve been wanting to do for quite some time.
I have been waiting for input from Mr C though since I’ve kind of been
expecting him to put the hooks on the walls but you know what, I’m sick of
waiting. We don’t even have ONE picture
of Miss Pants in a frame on a shelf, let alone on the wall, and she turned
THREE in December. NOT GOOD ENOUGH MUMMY!! Haven't printed them yet though. Hmmm, anyway moving on...
I still haven’t quite finished Miss Pants’ hand towel. It’ll be done by next week though when she
needs it. See, NEARLY done.
I asked Mr Magoo (8) if he’d like me to make him a pencil
case for school since this is the first year he’s had to provide his own
pencils and textas etc for school. He
thought it was a fantastic idea. I asked
if he’d like me to make it out of some camouflage fabric I already had. But NOOOO! Yes to camouflage, no to the colour options
available. I had blue, grey (& pink)
but he wanted green. I sourced the fabric,
found some lining and went with a zipper I already had. I’d love to say I was clever enough to just
whip it up but I wasn’t, I used this SUPER EASY Tutorial that I found on the blog Skip to my Lou. Turned out alright though for a
first attempt I thought. Will probably be OK making another one without the tutorial too. He can’t fit his
ruler in it though because the zipper I had wasn’t big enough to allow it. Oh well, I always had a much smaller pencil
case that never held my ruler but I survived, and so did my ruler.
It turns out that Miss Pants also needs a Cushion for Pre School. While scouring the junk shop for suitable photo
frames I came across a purple cushion for $4.00. SCORE. (Cushion insert’s purchased locally cost more
than that.) I MIGHT add her name to it. Time will dictate.
Master H found an old long sleeved plain white polo shirt
that Mr Magoo used to wear to school. He
wants me to put a picture on it just like I did with his PJ’s. He decided on a design, an electric guitar, then changed his mind,
SEVERAL times but finally decided that this was OK...
You see, I have some fabric with lots of little pirate heads on it just like this one. I am planning to use the fabric for the flag, then white (or maybe even natural calico) & black fabric with a little hand stitching for the pirate. Then he changed his mind again & wants a
PATCH on the eye, not a winking eye.
Grrrr, think I might forget that little detail & go with the wink
because it's cute, but we’ll see. Sorry about the image quality. It was a QUICK point & shoot.
I know it’s not much but it keeps me going. I still have the Pillowcase Challenge that I
mentioned last week to work on too.
Bye for now, K
