miss sew and sew

i made a dress!  after weeks of deliberation, i finally bought myself a japanese dress book.  the dress turned out better than i expected, what with my limited sewing ability.  that, and the fact that all the instructions are written in japanese :)  with a little lots of help from my mum (she has extraordinary japanese diagram translating skills) i actually managed to turn a piece of material into something wearable.   i’m looking forward to making my next dress..or top..or jacket…..

 

 

a good way to begin

this is megan + nicole

don't you love their outfits? they wanted to wish you all a bright and happy start to your week!

and there's nothing like a giant leap off two plastic chairs to make a person smile :)

jump for joy!

this is my one hundred and first post! 101 - wow! thank you to all those who pop their head around here every once in a while and leave a friendly comment! i appreciate every single one of my visitors, and have had lots of kind words :)

in order to celebrate the occasion, i decided it might be nice to give something away (a pretty picture, perhaps)...however, first you must take a picture of your own jump for joy! into a swimming pool, off a cliff, advertising for toyota...the possibilities are endless. the most ingenious and creative entry (as chosen by someone other than myself to avoid bias, of course) will recieve a little gift! the winner will be chosen in 2 weeks time! so get snapping!

you can either upload a photo onto your own blog and put the link in the comment section, or email me your picture at the email address on the side there.

have fun :)


ps. the puppy is bailey - she is the new addition to our family!
pps. thanks for taking the picture mandy :)
