A week of instagram

Whilst I have every intention of sitting at the computer to up date you all on my dandy wee life
the reality is I've been finding it time consuming
and it cuts in to my productive hours!
 
(please forgive)
 
I just don't have enough hours in my day to achieve all that I want!
(me thinks I should lower my expectations somewhat!)
 
Anyway, I have been sewing madly the last few weeks to replenish stock for the market season
and I have been showcasing some of my dresses in a local shop during the
Melbourne Cup weekend and our local Hot Rod weekend.
 
(it's all rather exciting)
 
I have many projects on the go at present and I'm feeling a bit scattered!!
But my motivation has been high and I have spent many hours whirring away happily
and these are the results ...
 


Love this girly dress
 

 
this has pockets and groovey print


mustard florals with pockets
 



thats right - they are all handmade!
 


 
Selina Lakes book "Homespun Style"
Have you seen it?  The colours are amazing!
 
 


Her first big performance!
 
 



a few market treasures
 

 
my latest score!
($10 thank you very much)
 

These next ones are a tad blurry!  (Damn those settings on the camera!)
 
 
Just enough fabric for another Smurf dress
 

 
sunny yellow
 

 
pocket details (well blurry details)
 
Yikes!  Gotta go  and rescue the washing!  The rains are coming!

  3. Onya Dee, love all the dresses particularly the umbrella girl dress, wish all it took was a belt to give my waist that nice cinched/slim look, hehe!!

    Hope the performance was a success, they all look gorgeous in their sequins.
    Great map, takes me back to primary school, hmm, not sure if I really want to go there, haha......

  8. I am literally swooning over your dresses, they are so gorgeous. FAbulous score with the map. Yes, I think I've got that Selina Lake book - or maybe another one by her, I can't quite remember. I like to go to bed (early) with it and drool over the pics. That's right, I need to get a life! xx

    Yes - this computer thing is a real time chomper. I do it when I'm boob-feeding (which happens to be a lot!)
