socks are in order.........

for a day like today.



yep its cold + I so don't like it!! I have to wear more clothing!!
where is our warm march?
and already a snotty nose has appeared in our house + had 2 days of lying on the sofa!

I've been busy.
I have even pulled out my sewing machine.
And as I sat down to sew I realised it must be almost 18mths since I had used it on a LO. I think I did a over kill with sewing on the LO's back then!!
But this time I was sewing with material to make scrafs. Well it was meant to be 1 but the orders are coming in from 3 small people who thought mummy looked "cool" in her new scarf!!
And now we are adding felt!
I sew ......(hehehe......ok dumb pun but thats so me) enjoyed watching 'dancing with the stars' last night hand sewing some felt to the bottom of Ruby's scarf.

Ruby wanted a horse added to her scarf but I just couldn't get my head around a horse made out of felt that would probably turn out looking like a donkey!!
But I knew my girl loved her furry friends + remembered seeing some super cute bunnies on the Velvet Red blog class painted but Elise (oh yeah I did mention I was doing that?.........very cool btw).

So we had a go at drawing our own + made up some patterns to use on the felt.
Ruby is so awesome at drawing animals...............her horses beat mine hands down anyday!!



Still got some stitching to finish off. I love how these bunnies turned out + I think I will use them on something else.
