Unpacking...













I am actually home now. Hooray! And I feel incredibly exhausted, I think I may have picked up a bug on the plane home. I have a niggling cough and a slight temperature. I spent today in my pj's with my small person. Unpacking the treasures I bought overseas. Unwrapping the parcels that arrived while I was away. Unloading the car of all the thrifted goodness I found along the way... My beautiful little house that was so clean and neat to come home to, has exploded in chaos and colour! Happy mess, for sure, but I will have to find a home for it all eventually. 

Having all of these beautiful piles of fabric around is inspiring me to make and sew! I am itching to get stuck into it, but my sewing machine is still at the shop being serviced. I will pick it up tomorrow so I am planning a small project tomorrow night to ease me back into the swing of things. Maybe just a dress for my little lady or a cushion cover. Something I can start and finish in one night and get those creative juices pumping. 

It's so good to be home!

    hi! I read your blog fairly regularly, and I wanted to find out how you started, and I wanted to find out what patterns you use. I really like many of your dresses, and I sew, but I have a very hard time finding dress patterns I like...they all seem to be too "cutting edge", you know, "project runway" type stuff...not my style at all, yours either, from what I see!
    well anyhow, I've tried clicking on the "about" up on your blog's banner, but nothing happens(?)! so, if you could let me know, it would be awesome!
    thanx and have a beautiful day!
