Milestone Moments

My baby boy had his very first haircut last week, at 4 1/2 months of age. Gone are the wings over his ears, and the fringe in his face :-)


And he's having a busy month with starting solids as well. So far he likes sweet potato, pumpkin, pears and apricot. He has a funky new highchair, and Levi loves being up with us all at dinnertime.

Such a grub...a cute grub though!

Sew Practical

Over the weekend, I finished this hooded swing jacket for Alannah, for school.


Not only is it very practical and warm, it cost me next to nothing, as I picked up the fleecy fabric as a remnant for $2.60. Throw in some cotton, 3 buttons and a bit of interfacing and time and I would say this jacket cost me about $6..bargain, hey?

Little Miss 7

Yes, Miss Alannah Juliet is now 7.
My first born, my only daughter, my little diva (at times!) is growing up.

A few things about Lana :
* She loves to read and draw
* Her favourite toys are Littlest Pet Shop, Lego, Barbies and her Zhu Zhu Pet
* She wears at least a size 8 in clothing as she is quite tall
* She likes to listen to Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber, so she tells me (although the latter has never ever been played in our house..lol)
* She has started wearing clip on earrings, as Rohan is not yet ready to let her get her ears pierced...he he...
* Her front two teeth are missing - see...


She still brightens our days with her giggly, chatty, noisy, dancing self. Love my baby girl xx

Hmm...Inspiring, Funky Fabrics...

Just a peek into my stash. Pretty much nearly every fabric has been bought with a project in mind, and I'm just amazed at the range of designs available out there.


So much loveliness.

Now to get making!

Hello from Polkadot Lane

Welcome, welcome to my new home!

Danielle has done some amazing editing & designing for me, to make this new home funky and sweet - thanks so much chic, I love it!! xx

Some cool things....

* I have a 'made-it' shop........ but it is still empty. Hopefully by the end of the weekend, I'll be adding some new products to it - some bunting and some aprons, at least.

* My complete archive from 'Kelly's World' has been copied over to this blog - yay!

* My Flickr gallery is now all linked up too.

This little adventure has been in the pipeline since the beginning of the year, so it's very exciting to see it start to come together. I love making, and to be able to sell some of the things I make online will be a lot of fun.

All in all, I'm loving my new home, and my new look blog.

Why not take a stroll through Polkadot Lane. I would love to hear your thoughts about my online world makeover :-)

Happy Friday!
