Dress for Bella

I made Bella a dress recently from my Japanese pattern book. It's the second time I've made this. The first attempt was too small. This time it's the perfect size but too short. That's ok, she can wear it as a tunic.

Bits from last week

Here are a few (quite a few!) photos from last week, before I file them away in my flickr filing cabinet.

:: Bella playing hide and seek with grandad and wearing bling from nana.
:: Using an old jumper of Bella's to sew onto a dress I bought from the charity shop.
:: Bella reading my book in her bedroom.
:: Sam took a photo of his doudou.
:: Lots of sewing.
:: My 3 euros rug/mat from the secondhand shop.
:: Bella keeping warm next to the fire on a rather chilly day.
:: Yellow cardi and blue chair - just because :)
:: Joanne Harris' cook book. We've been making most our meals from here this week.
:: Bella playing with chalk and water and she's wearing another re-cycled top - the sleeves are from Sam's old t-shirt.
:: Vintage fisher price sandals from here.
:: A view from the garden.
phew, time for a cuppa!

Instagram this week

I've been having loads of fun using instagram lately. Here's some of things I've captured this week.

Tea parties, alphabet sticking, eating out for lunch, chasing chickens....a lot of paper plane making and flying.

Have a lovely weekend :) x
