A new design...




































hello!!!!! How are you all? I hope that you are having the most fantastic weekend EVER!! Maybe you are making lots of stuff?? Or eating heaps of yummy food? I bet that if you live any where near me you have spent  your whole weekend inside rugged up against the stormy weather.

My poor mum-in-law, who has been living in a groovy caravan in our back yard,. has had very little sleep due to the torrential rain, howling wind and thunder-clapping right above us!! It has been amazing - I LOVE this weather... My mum in law normally loves this weather too - but it has all been a bit much what with her caravan leaking - the door blowing wide open at 3am scaring the socks off her - plus her hot water bottle EXPLODED!

I have had my real mumma here too. So it has been a mum filled weekend. I took full advantage of the granny babysitters - spending some time on a new design that I have been promising to one very special (and patient) customer... I am happy to say that the new dress is a success - and it is my new favourite!! I thought that it was so special that it deserved 6 million photos... So here they are :)

Once again I hope you don't get sick of my face. The pictures of me in the studio - yes they are a little bit self indulgent - but I liked them.

This new dress has some lovely features... BIG POCKETS! a twirly whirly flared skirt that is very flattering on the waist. A neat new neckline and a zip up the back. This makes for much more comfy underarms!! YAY!! This new dress will not be available for custom order. I am going to make them up as ready to ship for sale in the shop - until I am confident enough to make them on demand.

Well this is too long! I'm sure you are quite bored now.

Lots of love!! MWAH!

    I love the photos and I do believe that new dress is to-die-for! The yellow print sets it off beautifully. Hope the rain eases for you xo

    GORGEOUS Bec this is a STUNNER for sure....There looks to be even MORE work in this design than in your other pieces which I'm SURE are time consuming enough....!!!!

    I ADORE the yellow print too....It's FUNNY you know....I NEVER decorate with yellow yet when it comes to vintage sheets I ADORE the colour & can't get enough of it....!!!!!

    The pic of you at your machine made me SMILE OUT LOUD....I wonder if I would look half as serene if someone snapped me out the back using my 'tools'....Me thinks not....hahahahahaSNORT....!!

    I hope your week is coming along nicely....!!

    Cheers for now,
    Tamarah :o)
