Baby Aprons..

Mr Deekie Belle was working last night so I thought I would make some bibs for my gorgeous grand daughters..

I found this fabulous tutorial for 'Baprons'!

yep, baby-aprons!

So I got stitching and made up quite a few..

...I do love a Saturday night sew in!

I love this little pink one, so sweet..

A used a flannel to back them

How cute are they?!

Of course my little furballs wouldn't leave me alone....

Garfield is not happy unless he is sitting right in front of me!

Aww, who can resist this little face,

all our Bonnie-boo wants is for me to throw her toy for her,

And. Never. Stop.!

Gordy just wanted snuggles..

Sooty got bored and headed for his spot on the end of the bed..

And the boys finally retired to the bedroom too...

Froofie Bob and Twitchy wouldn't sit still so no pics of them today!

More Jingle Sox pics tomorrow ;)!

Have a great week!

Hugs,

Ps! Mummy and Bubby Giveaway will be up this week!!!

busy weekend..

Mr Deekie Belle and I took the dogs on a lovely 2km bushwalk on Sunday afternoon.

Alora was sick in bed all weekend with a terrible sinus infection poor darling, I spent most of the weekend looking after her and the rest sewing madly so it was nice to have a couple of hours to just enjoy the afternoon with my darling...

As anyone who reads my blog regularly knows, I am a terrible photographer, so I got in a bit of practice, I love the Aussie bush, it can be so dramatic and haunting... I would love to be able to capture it's beauty the way others do...

As we strolled towards home the sky changed colour and I got this nice shot...

Not sure if I mentioned it before but I had a little trouble with two parcels going missing a couple of months back - Australia post still hasn't been able to track them down but I have remade them and they will be off to my gorgeous, very patient clients this week.

One of this things that I find difficult living in Australia is not being able to get my hands on every fabric and ribbon I need at the drop of a hat! My Christmas fabrics and ribbons were very much depleted after my busy 2009 season so had been waiting on some to arrive from the States to finish these orders off...

It's funny really, waiting on fabrics from the US, to make Jingle sox here in Oz, to send back to the US :o)!

Here's my weekend fun!

Two custom orders here, one funky Christmas styles and one sweet pastels

Riley Blake pastels, and glittery organza..

I girly love bows!

sparkly organza... so pretty!

Gorgeous 'funky gift' fabric, have lots of this in stock now!

Love this fabric line up, still waiting on ribbon for bows on the girl's ones - should be here this week - yay! My hubby's fav is the one on the right, I am quite low and that fabric and it is discontinued so if you want it in your Jingle Sox please be quick ;)!
More of this fabric on it's way too! Cute pink snowmen too - yum! I love these colors!

I will draw the Redwork wall hang on Friday so please don't forget to leave a comment to be in the draw, sorry for the delay, been a busy little bee! Back soon with more!

Hugs, Jen xo

Faux fur...

My fabric has finally started to come in so have been been buried in my studio working hard on Jingle sock orders.

Lots of cutting out and stitching and lots of lovely soft fur...
Not sure if any of you work with fur (not real fur - faux fur!!) but I am having alot of trouble finding a good source of it here in Perth. I had a big stock of it but with all my orders I ran out at christmas. It took me ages to find some nice quality fur and when I did I nearly fainted at the price! $50 a metre - whew!

This is the last of that beautiful piece and the shop that I got it from has sold out. I have been everywhere and cannot find any of this quality... I think I will have to source some out online!.

Just enough to fill my orders!

Lots of real fur in my home though, here's just a few of our fur-babies!

Waiting for a treat!

... such a gentle boy ;)

Snuggling as always..And these two are a worry, Mr Deekie Belle and sweet Alora showing me how gangsta they are.... not!!


Last but by no means least, Khye is fascinated with my glasses, he always pulls them off and tries to put them on his face...

I snapped this of him the other day, doesn't he look like the little boy from Jerry Macguire!!.....

"....the human head weighs eight pounds"

:o)

Off to draw the giveaway!! Back soon with the winner!

Big hugs, Jen xo

Our four legged darlings......

Here are a few pics of our super - spoilt bunch of babies...

Sweet Bonnie our staffy, she's is Steve's baby and just like him is a little nuts but we love her so much!

Bob, Our little Maltese, he's a yapper but he is my little boy... (and as usual he is in need of a bath!)



Our gentle giant, Gordy... hard to get a good photo of him, he hates the camera!


My baby Garfield, sitting on a post across the road....

Angel and Ben's cat Twitch and her boys, Derrik and Garfy... (there's a frog out there!!)


Spot the puppy! - Deekie's little Baby


A Nap with Grandad (my darling hubby and his little grand-son-puppy lol!)

Photos...

I am not a good photographer, that is a fact, I stroll aound my favorite blogs and look on in awe at the wonderful photographs that everyone takes, but I know that photography is not something that I am good at. My hubby (the darling man!) tells me that I can do anything and it is just a case of practice makes perfect so I keep snapping away hoping that I will magically become a "photographer".... All I seem to be doing is filling up my computer with files of photos, ....and copies of photos ....and edited copies of photos ......and resized copies of edited photos... Hmmmm, you get the picture! Anyway, here are some that I have taken recently, with some of my favorite things

My beautiful Bohemian crystal cake plate - My darling bought me this a few weeks ago and it is my absolute favorite thing at the moment!.... inside it is his absolute favorite thing ever - Angel Food Cake with Lemon Sherbet Icing!


This is my little 'Tea Cabinet' - it used to be an old pine cabinet that I have had for about 20 years and it was so yellowy and ugly that I was going to throw it out - but after a coat of paint and some new glass knobs it is transformed to something I love!


One of our four legged babies - Gordy, our 5 year old Akita. He is the most beautiful dog and when I look into his eyes I can see his heart, - his big cuddly, playful, loving heart!



Have a great day!
Hugs
Jenny
