Kris Kringle adventures

Its that time of the year again where people are searching through shops for a $5 - $10 gift for a work colleague that they dont really know that well. Not to mention there isn't really a great deal you can get for that amount of money unless it is at a novelty store of some kind.
Lucky for me, the Kris Kringle that my craft girls and i do has a limit of $20 so it is much easier to find something.

This year i picked out the name of one of my very good friends, Louise. I knew exactly what i wanted to buy her! One of those lime green shopping baskets that you can fold down and store in your boot for your next shopping trip. I bought it but after a few days i decided that i couldnt just get her that so yesterday, i madly rushed around to make her an apron (as dinner and pressie giving was last night!). I managed to get it all done in time to go and get the kidliwinks from day care too so i was very happy!

Here are the crappy happy snaps - its hard to take a good pic of an apron at arms length.




Amity thought it made a great dress!

It's in the bag

Well, not quite yet but once i have finished sewing the rest of Amity's chef outfit it will be!

You see, out of nowhere, Amity asked if she could please ask Santa for a wooden kitchen for christmas (rather specific for a 3.5 yr old dont you think!?). Thankfully, Santa heard her lol and there will be one waiting for her on Christmas morning. I couldnt just give her a wooden kitchen and not the approriate attire to go with it so out came the sewing machine and i decided to make her an apron and matching chefs hat (still WIP).

After browsing through a few of my fave blogs, i found THIS tutorial on a great little drawstring bag. ( i cant remember which blog i saw it on, sorry!)

Anyway, i completed it tonight so i thought i would share some pics with you all

In the Jungle...

"the mighty jungle, the Lion sleeps toniggghhhtt" Hehehe that song reminds me of when i went to the circus somewhere near Norseman, Western Australia. I think i was all of 5.

Anyway, the real star of this post are the cute little shorts i made for Griffin. They only took me a few hours and i am very proud of myself especially as they have real POCKETS! I know that that may seem a little trivial to some of you but these are the first ever pockets i have sewn and i am very happy with the end result!

Please excuse the photos though as my mini model wasnt really in the best of moods

I told you he wasnt in a very good mood ;)
