What a busy time we have had...

Oh Gosh how busy we have been! With only a few weeks until Christmas I am in a mad frenzy trying to finish, hmm maybe that should be start, the Christmas presents.

I have almost finished two pairs of PJs for the cousins, I still have buttoholes to do, oh how much do I hate buttonholes! I have a lovely old sewing machine that belonged to my Nana and Pa.

It has a button hole feature on it, however it isn't easy to work.


I have made a sweet little flannel pj set in lillac using an old vintage pattern. This is the top minus the buttons

I am also in an apron swap at down~~~to~~~earth I have made a lovely vintage apron from 1948. I used yellow gingham cotton. (sorry I can't get the picture to rotate!)

And finally my eldest has decided he would like to learn how to 'sew' so we spent this afternoon learning how to embroider. How wonderful is the look of concerntration on his face!
I have begun a new blog at crafy and crazy by em as I do alot of sewing and 'stuff' It will be essentially about my sewing, scrapping, knitting and any other creations that come from my fingers. I will even try to put some tutorials in as well!

Have a wonderful week....
