slippers!

My feet have been cold and I'm not really fond of the designs available or the price tag of the ones i do like. So in the fashion of my Big Sis i made my own. the base pattern was from this lovely blogger. The ones in the tutorial's look like little dutch clogs, but they were to shallow for my feet so I gave them cuffs :)
The bottoms are decorated with a practical purpose, i used puff paint this gives me a little grip on the lino flooring.

My Place & Yours

Everybody loves cake

Hopes Birthday! yet another chance for me to have a go at a new type of cake :). This one was a master chef recipe and it was ok,...... the cake didn't rise properly, I believe there is something wrong with the heat distribution of my oven :( any way, it looked awesome at least and when it was covered in gnash i was told it tasted nice.

Now here is an interesting question... Whats on your fridge? playing my place and yours again. This is our fridge, it's always been messy. It seams to be the only thing in the kitchen that remains a constant mess!!

The first apron I made in this pattern was to large and did not suit my body type. I gave the first to a very happy Tori who was eyening off the apron as i was making it. They were both made from a sheet set of Mary Kate & Ashly, Who knew they had a sheet set in the first place? The two images are of the The 2nd attempt it fits OK it only is wanting in a slight adjustment of the shoulder straps. I have some sheet left and a similar cherry sheet that i intend to make in to a summer light dress.

Well i am both glad and sad that today has come to a close. i spend the day with my lil sister in Melbourne. the main purpose of the outing was go get her a key pass but we added some more pleasurable things to the list :) Firstly we went to the Aquarium! i love the Aquarium, tori however was more in to fluttering from one tank to another with the attention span of a three year old, we cleared the whole thing in an hour! when i go i will take around two and a half..... oh well it was still good.


Then we walked up and down Queens St twice in the pursuit of T2, we found it down Little Queens st grrrrrr lost of unnecessary walking! But the main thing is we got there and i spent only $3 over budget.The best find was a glass cup thing, i'ts awesome! you fill it with some lovely green tea and the glass is not hot!!! at the most i'ts look warm on the outside while you tea is lovely and hot!!!

Yesterday i finished anther task for Make and Mend Month!
This Baby quilt was made by me for Hope my sister and her future Child (still in the oven). i used free motion quilting to border around the edges. this is my second time i have made a quilt and although it has many flaws i am proud of it anyway! and more importantly the future parents also like it :)
i used t-shirt iron transfers for the poo characters. i had the 9intention of using printed fabric, however i could not find any at our material stores and the on line ones were through the roof!. so i settled on transfers. I braught two sets one worked lovely, but the other one just didn't want to work and most of i'ts pictures didn't stick to the fabric and came off like mozzarella cheese! I'm not sure if that was a fault of mine or i just got a dud for the second?!
I made the quilt gender nutural so it cam be used for ether a boy or a girl, but honestly a baby doesn't care so it's more for the parents at this stage :)
