Bargins!

I finally got to go back to East Coast fabrics at Lawnton today! They had a $1.99 rack, so good! I wanted to get more but was very restrained! I also grabbed a pattern too, with top, dress and pants.
One is a really nice shear fabric and the other black and silver which I will make into a dress I think. I got 3mts of each cause I haven't really made up my mind fully yet. So I will be off and sewing see you when I am done. :D

Picking up my Machine this arvo!!!

I am picking up my sewing machine today as I had to put it in to get fixed. I was sewing and got a bit in a hurry. Ran over a sewing pin and put the alignment out of whack! Oh how annoying that was.
Anyway this is the top that I was trying to make at the time. I needed something for the cooler weather we have been having. But thanks to my sister I was able to finish the top for wearing. So before school pick up I am going down to get my machine!!!! Yeah!! Also Thanks MUM!!! xxxooo

A very Blingy top!

I love this top! I found this material at East Coast fabrics. It is so blingy! Must go back to East Coast Fabrics at Lawnton again, so love that shop!!!!!

Bithday Cakes for my second daughter!

This is her First birthday cake, a cute fairy tale castle!











 This second cake is a 3d Teddy Bear, because I already did a flat teddy I thought is was time to give a harder cake a go.
 We were really getting into the fairies from Tinkerbell, but could not find a Tinkerbell doll at the time so we went with Iridessa. Better than the cheap Barbie/dolly var den cakes!
Lastly to keep the fairy tail theme going a crown for my princess!

So much to show!!!

I am sitting here wondering what to start off with, do I do a photo section of my birthday cakes and various other cakes I have created? or do I just start off with what I am working on at the moment on the sewing machine? I have so many things that I have done and would love to tell you about. If you are one of my friends on fb some of this will not be new to you but I promise to show new stuff too!
This is the latest project, a bag. It is the first time I have made one and didn't have a pattern for one and have been wanting to make a bag for a while. It is not quite finished just have to finish the zip and the handle. I traced around a bag I already have and so far it is working!

First post for my creative blog!

I have just had this thought that I should write something that I love to do! At the moment I am writing from my iPod so no pictures will be going up yet.
Had a big baking day today and my feet are killing me. 65 muffins and two lots of cookies double batches.
I will get on the main computer and up date properly real soon. But tomorrow is the last day doing the finishing touches of costumes for the school musical! Pity it is only every two years, but I do have plenty of years ahead as my oldest is only in grade 2 and baby only starts prep next year lol!
