Is anyone out there?

Sometimes I get the feeling that NOT ONE PERSON has read my blog. Anyway, it's been a hot hills weekend and I have enjoyed going to bed late and waking early. This is a great time of year for me energy wise. Thinking about getting some chickens. I have wanted to get some for quite a while. I don't know why I have been hesitant for so long and haven't just taken the plunge. It has to happen. Watch this space... If there is anyone out there, please comment!

Sewing Frenzy...

I made the coolest dress yesterday(photo soon). It is a size 8 girls dress I copied from a cute dress I bought at an opp shop. It was really easy peasy. It has no facing. I simply ironed and sewed round a hem because the material is really heavy anyway.
I tried it on my friends daughter yesterday who is 8 and it fits perfectly! Although, it is kind of more like a dress over pants or a skirt as it's a little bit short. I I bought 3 paisley curtains from an opp shop at about 2 bucks each. I will make pants, skirts and dresses!
I have also been propagating tomato seeds which are ready to transplant. My son loves eating the lettuce which is VERY exciting!
