Japanese pattern dress

 

I received Happy Homemade Vol 2 recently and this pattern was one of the first in the book. Unfortunately for me it's in Japanese, but by following the diagrams I came up with this dress. I've no idea if it's correct, but it fits and looks nice.

As soon as Bella put it on (had I not have stopped her) she was disappearing out of the door with her wellies and wet hair to jump in puddles - because there are a lot of those at the moment!

Bits and pieces

A rather wonky dress for Bella. Will do better next time! I had to add extra fabric to the bottom a few days later as it was too short.

Eating healthy food. I've replaced cows milk with soya now. Such a big difference. Less potatoes and meat too.

A not so healthy chocolate cake, although it did contain almonds instead of flour!

Much puddle jumping activity. Say no more....

Sam's latest obsession is with building lego robots online at herofactory.

Family drawing and maths session. Sam shares his teacher with the next year up and whilst Sam's class is doing workbook activities the older year are doing maths. Sam told us he finishes his work as quickly as possible so he can listen to the maths lesson. So Scott has been doing simple maths with Sam (Sam's request) in the evening.
