Pattern Giveaway ! Now clear as mud !


I sensed a little confusion in some of the comments on my last post .Let me see if I can clear things up for you.
Little Party Frocks are for decoration only .
They will not go over any doll head as they are stitched at the top .
They do look gorgeous hanging off drawer handles or dangling from the edge of picture frames .
Yes little girls do love them but I'm a big girl and I have lots of them around .
They are easily tizzied up further or made in Christmas fabric to hang from your tree .
Barbie butted in so you could see how small the Frocks were , not because I invited her .
I sent a stack of these with a friend to sell at the markets , sold out ! Yay !
Included with the pattern is permission to sell some at markets acknowledging moi as the designer.
So now if you're interested in winning my new pattern Little Party Frocks just leave me a comment .
The winner will be drawn next week when the pattern will also be in my shop .
Come on everyone needs a Little Party Frock !

The party is on and a giveaway too !


The party is on ! I have cupcakes for Joy and caramel slice for Vikki and now you all just need a Little Party Frock . My new pattern Little Party Frock is going to be released at the end of the week and it will be in my shop then . These frocks are so quick and easy to make and are really a lot of fun .
 My daughter had her birthday party last week and I made a heap of these and gave them to the little girls instead of lolly bags , what a hit they were . I know, bad mother using her children for market research .....  Anyway as usual Barbie has been causing problems taking off with all the pretty frocks , they are just her size 7" but the tops are stitched up so they won't go over her head . I'll forgive her afterall she is plastic and can't really understand the term For Decorative Use Only Der !
 If you would like to win a pattern for Little Party Frock just leave a comment , that's it !
 To teach Barbie a lesson while she was mucking around I nicked all her coathangers and one will be included in each pattern .

Attention Ornament Swappers and a few op shop scores!



Hello Ornament Swappers ! If you have signed up for the Christmas Ornament Swap and haven't heard from Robyn or I please let us know as we really don't want anyone missing out on the fun .Can you believe I need to make 17 of these stockings for family members . I'm going to fill them with lollies , hope they like them .

I did really well at the local Vinnies yesterday and picked these up . The fabric is a tablecloth because I really need another beautiful tablecloth , ha ! I can't help myself , I see them and find them too hard to resist . I do use them though ... sometimes .
I'm also still working on my hanging basket Christmas decoration and I hope to have a giveaway soon to celebrate my new pattern release , I'm thrilled with my new design and I think you will love it too ! Best be off then if I want to get anything done .

What to do , what to do .....

What do I do with an ugly hanging basket that never grows anything and always aims itself at unsuspecting peoples heads ?
This week I've sprayed it white and filled it with balls of wool , so pretty . Next week it's going to be a Christmas decoration . Stay tuned .
