END OF MARCH MADNESS 2011

I didn't realise I had not posted up for a while, so this is a wrap up for the Month of March. I am very pleased to add a pic of my beautiful Granddaughter Holley wearing the sunflower Chip and Dale Chipmunk dress I made her. To this outfit I also made a pair of pants and a cute little hat. Same pattern as the dress, Simplicity 9784.

My  elderst daughter celebrates her birthday in March so i got busy and made 3 hand towels for her. She loves elephants, so of course they all included Elephants !

A robot shirt for Grandson William

Daughter Jessie was after some shirts for exercising so busy on the machine I got. I thought these were cute designs.

I had an order from a friend, so we have a mixed selection here.

A motorbike shirt

Little bear with pink ribbon handtowel

The Nook's veranda is great. Here is pic of grandkids Shaylee and William playing on my 'big' table on the veranda...thanx D for the new addition of these toys to the Nook, they loved exploring all the new toys. It is great, they can still play there when it is raining. They enjoyed playing whilst I was sewing :) this is the view from my window...isn't that great !!

Granddaughter Shaylee in her pink Barbie dress I made for her. I have used McCalls Pattern M5792

My cousin Susan has welcomed a new grandson into her family this week..congrats to the family, so I have posted my parcel away containing a baby pack for the baby, comprising of a towel, washer and two burping bibs, and a towel set for 'big' brother.

I got my tank !!! ok, only temp signage..and I have to say very temp..fell off..., thinking I will put my signage (giggles) on the out side wall of the Nook. So excited about my little water tank  :)

And a few more burping bibs to round off the month of February.

TEA TOWEL TOPPERS

I am really enjoying making these machine embroidered hand towel toppers and then working a fine crochet edging on them.. :)

I love the sunflowers 

Really love the butterflies, my favorite one..

And a couple of burping bibs, with crochet edging

A FULL DAY IN THE NOOK

Well a busy full day today. I made another 6 library bags, all parceled up ready to post tomorrow. I was so inspired making the library bags, I spent the rest of the day catching up with unfinished projects and parceling up others ready for posting. Also the verandah started being build with the wood floor. So have taken pics to show my day..do enjoy :)    Above (because I can't work out how to get my writing back up there) Is a baby parcel I had made in December but had not got it away, so am happy that today I have wrapped it ready to go. Below is three hand towels that I have machine embroidered and crocheted around for one of my nieces. I also made these a couple of weeks ago, so today I have sewn the buttons on and parceled up ready for posting tomorrow... the dragon flies were my inspiration to have dragon flies on my blog :) thanx Kylie xx

 This is a frog machine embroidery and crochet hand towel for my Mum..yes ready to post. Also made in December, today again button sewn on and parceled ready to post :)

 I made this baby set today. It consists of a machine embroidered towel, a crocheted washer, 2 burping bibs and a machine embroidered muslin wrap. I have made this for a friends first granddaughter in Toowoomba.

 I made this baby set also today for one of Jessie's friends.

 My veranah being built, and of course granddaughter Amelia helping Poppy.

 This I made today. Its an EELS hand towel, but no matter how I tried taking the pic it is just not showing very well. This is for my friend in Toowoomba.

And today's 6 library bags I made. most certainly a full day for me :) I have really enjoyed my weekend in my Nana's Nook...
