Sewing Projects......

Well I haven't done much sewing recently as my sewing machine was playing up!! I think the problem is now solved, so I can get onto making more sweet bunting, purses ans belts and whatever else I'm inspired to make!!
I'll be popping some more things in Suede Vintage(in Thirroul) and Milk Thieves(in Wollongong), and of course making some extras to put aside for gift giving!!
I've gathered together some vintage and new fabrics, in some gorgeous prints and colours....

Also stay tuned as Lauren and I are putting together a new Autumn/Winter Window display for Suede Vintage next week....think old books, suitcases, paper decorations, warm colours...will post up some sweet photos when we're finished!

A Little Sydney trip....

Yesturday My lovely Hubby and My Daughter's Juliet and Beth headed up on the Train to enjoy a day in Sydney! It was truely perfect Weather, and even though our intentions were to go and see the Harry potter Exhibition (this being postponed til next w/e due to forgetting to book...oops), we still had a lovely time wandering around Darling Harbour, enjoying coffee, hot chocolate and delicous macaroons and the new play area with giant slide, flying fox and water play!

Because Olivia was swamped in homework she didn't come along....but we've now booked in for ALL of us to see the Harry Potter Ehitbiton next Sunday...F-U-N xxxxx

Oh My! How our Girls have grown...

I've been feeling a little nostalgic of late, thinking of my daughters when they were younger....so sweet!!! They're still sweet(most of the time) but much bigger now. Olivia is quite a bit taller than me, and Juliet has just reached my height! I better watch out 'cos Beth is on her way too!

These three Daughters are gorgeous, talented, funny, inspiring, generous, crazy, fun, studious, creative, imaginative, clever, sneaky, cheeky.........

Here's a few pics from the past few years, enjoy!!!

My beautiful Daughter Juliet Celebrated her 12th Birthday last Thursday....In the morning she opened Her presents with delight, and My eldest made pancakes for everyone to share before we all went off into our days....Juliet had a lovely day with well wishes from her friends at School.....Then on Saturday she celebrated again at a local Cafe near the Beach with her friends, although it was far from beach weather.....but the girls didn't seem to mind! They had a great time eating lunch and cupcakes, then heading to the playground in the drizzling rain....It was gorgeous!!!
