Hair Clips

Last year for a couple of School Fairs  I went mad with a girlfriend and made lots of Flower Hair Clips

Which sold like hot cakes.

I still had some clips left over but I could not face making another flower. 
So I had a little play and I ended up doing some heart hair clips

and with Easter coming I could not resist making this little bunny.

Feather Crown

This last week I have been making feather crowns. 

I got the inspiration from Lori Marie and her blog 

"Pretty Little Things"

Last year I hand dyed a load of felt with my girlfriend and this 

seemed to be the perfect way to use up some of this felt.

I both machine stitched and hand stitched these crowns.

 I had a modelling session with Master O 

(as you can see from the pictures we had a bit of fun).

This Moment

{this moment} - A Sunday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.

Knitting

Master O has been quiet challenged on the knitting front.

He started to learn to knit around the middle of last year in his Handwork class at school.

By the end of the year his desk top had managed to accidentally land on and break 3 sets of knitting needles.

Master O was way behind his class mates with his knitting projects.

So this year I said we would do three rows of knitting an afternoon.

On Tuesday he came home very proud of his first knitted creation.

A bean bag for throwing at his mother!

We have now started on a Gnome. 

We started off by casting on 22 stitches. After 4 rows we some how had ended up with 44 stitches.

We are back to 22 but I think we still have a long road ahead of us.

But good on Master O he never gives up!

Party

The Party for our Wedding Anniversary has now been and gone. 

We spent all day getting everything ready. 

The weather was on our side and we had a beautiful full moon to light the sky. 

Flowers from Meryl's garden decorated our food table and the night was a big success. 

We crawled to bed in the wee hours.

Here is a special song by Helen Austin for Mr O

A vintage sheet I bought for $4.50 and a skirt I wore to my 40th Birthday Party!
