Latest Sewing Projects

First I mended grandaughter's pyjama elastic followed by a new pair of pants, using the original ones as pattern. Rummage through my craft books I found a tracable pattern for pj's up to age 6 for either boy or girl. Then the project evolved to pair, ie.top and bottom. Next move was 2 large cushion covers, result they are too large, so more alterations or stitching needed.

Now I have cut out pj's for her older brother, shorts for myself, and ideas for the cousins in the pipeline.

What Have I Been Doing

Spent a few days with my daughter and family, before Christmas. Two of my sons visited with their respectful familys over the Christmas break.

Took this picture after a few attempts, self portraits just never look very flattering, but hardly ugly, or I would not be publishing it. Here I am on internet again, wonder if third son has been trying to ring me.

Some crank woman called last night in an attempt to unnerve me, as she could not get my name right after three attempts, as is someone was prompting her in the background. Have to spell it for her next time, A M I E... G R E E N, and NO!
YOU WON'T FIND ME IN THE PHONE BOOK as I am know by something else entirely..

Absent for Months

I have been unable to blog as I either put in wrong passport or just could not access the site. With the new google offer, things go astray with the transfer, now I find my original 'amie' is still on the web and available to my computer as I never logged in manually.

Such is BUSiness such is Life

In the wrong game, trying to drum up some sewing to do. I completed the daughters frock, then a small drop of rain put paid to the Wilpeena Race Meeting in September, gone for another year. We could do with more rain now.

REad in real-estate news I get e-mailed daily, or weekly depending on what is available. Coal Mining Centre of Blackwater asking $580.00AU per week rental for house similar to mine, 3 bedroom, one bathroom, double garage, same here. I do not get that much pension per fortnight. Perhaps I should rent the small-town house??

Other that altering my clothes, as I have lost an inch, not from diet, but from ill health. The health & harmony practicioner made more sense, said my problem was a pocket of wind, not chewing my food, drinking with meals & eating too fast.
Guilty on all accounts.

I made a summer frock, now it is too large..

Beginnings

As I am at present altering a frock for my daughter,
that is take it in a little.
Like all mothers, when they wean the baby their breasts
are much smaller, thus the
need to alter the frock rather than buy another &
give the first away to friends.
Friends do not wish to buy something,
they just borrow or accept as gift.
I will display some of my work when it materializes
