Right?<strong><span style="background-color: white; color: lime;">Christmas is fun! right?</span></strong><br />
<br />
Hi to all my little followers, well as you may or may not know I have been absent from my blog for way too long. the reason being is that I lost my son in a drowning accident just gone two years ago.... time goes fast let me tell you... I have not <span style="color: black;">been</span> able to give myself permission to do too much social media nor have I allowed myself to be creative.... you see grief is a funny thing, and you somehow know when it IS time to allow yourself to live again and accept all the wonderful things that are still present in your life. You somehow know when it is time to create the world you want and not one that was or the one that was sad. So for me I can feel that my life is evolving and moving through this grief phase... don't get me wrong you never stop grieving you just learn to live moments at a time grieving and remembering loved ones.<br />
<br />
So I come back to the title of my blog today about Christmas being fun! Of course Christmas is fun! However for me the past two Christmases have been extremely hard as it was my boys favourite day of the year. Well this Christmas we are going to celebrate his life and do all the fun things he loved, playing in the pool, having water gun fights, eating lots of chocolates and pigging out on the Christmas ham. Christmas will be about celebrating those that we love and have lost this year, being my mother in law Pat who past away 11/11/13 and our dear Aunty Margaret and Uncle Frank. I hope you have found your way to my boy Dylan and can now look after him. I feel a little bit more settled knowing that he is with his Nan.<br />

As people know each year I do a bit of a theme, and have changed my theme choices about three times already this year and my colour selections. But I have decided to go colourful, and this is to celebrate all the colourful personalities that are with us today and who have exited our lives. I love colour and colour it will be.<br />

<br />
Well after a very long and much needed break I am regaining my sew jo slowly but surely! I did mention to Mr Notsewshabby this morning that I have found the perfect spot to put my sewing station... He quickly gave me one of those looks! you know the look I mean the "here we go again" look. I started taking photos of all of my little goodies and am sharing them in my etsy store and my made it store. Check them both out. Store name is obviously notsewshabby all one word :) <br />
<br />
Although I do need a little help with the photography department I am very sucky at that.... Probablly becuase I dont have the patience to read instructions...<br />
<br />
Here is what is new in my etsy shop:<br />

<br />
Well if you are not doing anything tooooo important this Saturday and want to get out of doing the housework (who wouldnt???) Then mozey on down to St Augustines Church grounds on Racecourse Road, Hamilton. You'll find yourself in the most delightful place surrounded by the warm and fuzzy BrisStyle team showing off their wears..

With the help (uhumm) of artful teenager we commenced a journey in which of course I took over the whole project, purely through frustration and slowwwwwwwwwwwness of the artful teenager, who might I say has not a clue how to sew!! Look how our little skirt turned out! And guess what? I added a ZIP!!!! YAYYYYY!<br />

Ho Hum it is so pretty. I made this little Kimono dress which is reversable and must I say it has now become my favourite little pattern. I only have sizes from 12 months to 4 and need to source bigger sizes as they make cute tops too! I love the versatility of having two dresses in one outfit.<br />

I ventured to the Post Office this morning eagerly anticipating the arrival of my 30 yards of Meadowsweet Collection. My goodness it is breathtaking. I took it to work and one of my colleagues was just as excited as I was as she got some scissors and helped me unravel the packaging just so she could have the first dibs in selecting that perfect print for a little dress for her niece. I just keep looking at it all day!!! Cant wait to get my hand on my sewing machine and create some nice little dresses.NotSewShabbyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07258182883536722993noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861750222482415225.post-91830623769703524592010-01-05T16:04:00.000+10:002010-01-05T16:04:10.603+10:00Happy New YearWell Im off to a flying start!!! In my mind that is, I have been frantically scribbling down my ideas for the new year and cant wait to see them come to fruition. I have had a bit of a hard time grasping the concept of Shirring. My teenage daughters have been nagging me all summer to make them frocks for the beach with Shirring. I tired my hand at it on the weekend but it didnt turn out the way that everyone says it should. I have followed so many tutorials, however mine doesnt bunch up as much as I would like and made a size 5 childs dress which fits my 18 year old in the bust ho hum!!! Any body have some good hints as ive tried them all!! Well off to the sewing machine again for the new year I have a spot at the Boutique Markets this Sunday starts at 8am - 1pm.

BIDM here we come<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Wow can you believe its only three weeks to go until we dawn the streets of Hamilton again.... Well my weekend was full of cramming which included finishing off all of my stash of unfinished sewing (thats because I get so bored easily and have lots of new designs going around in my head) then there was catching up with friends which always turns into more than just catching up and feeling a bit seedy the nexyt day! then it was family time and went for a trip to Bribie yesterday to reconnect with the kids and hubby!!!! Get home and crammed a few more dresses in then made a roast lamb and then started the weekly washing of uniforms and work clothes.....Does it ever stop for the working mum I think not! Lucky for my multi vitamins and Berocca! So if I took a photo of my work space right now and posted it people would be in shock!!! It looks like someone has ransacked my room or a tornado which ever one you can identify with mess!!!! Well heres to another jam crammped week ladies.
