They say never to work with children...

OK, so these are some of the photos from the shoot last week.  They are all adorable kids and were SO excited to be "modelling" for me, but why is it when a camera is pointed at a child they pull a funny face?

 And there were some good action shots too!!

All in all, it was a fun afternoon and I got some great images to use on the website.

There was also a little impromptu photo-shoot in the backyard yesterday too with another couple of items for the shop...

Anyway, off now to get the website done!

OK, now I can't help myself!

I've just got to put up some more photos!  These are the clothes that were in the photo shoot last week and don't really need to be organised or critiqued or anything like that.

So, there's the little party dress...

And a little wrap dress with a love heart buttonhole for the tie...

And a little pinky and bloomer set with a ruffle on the bum...  I just love frilly-bum bloomers for little girls!

And there was another couple of outfits but I didn't get photos of them on hangers, just on the kiddies running around.  So more tomorrow!

And I'm BACK...

OK, so I can't even remember when I last did a post and now that I'm typing up one I can't check either.  It's been a really busy time lately and I hardly get time in front of my computer at all these days, but I really have to make an effort to get some more things online.  Just looking at the blog with my very sparse posts, I actually feel like I've been achieving things.

But onto more important things - SEWING!

I have made quite a few things to put in the shop and although these photos are a little old now (by a couple of months!), I still just love looking at all the neatly little clothes hanging in my space.  It just gives me a little creative thrill!

So just getting back into the swing of posting again at the moment.  My next post will be a doosey!  To get my business website up and running I had a mini photo shoot on Friday!  I feel like such a professional saying that!  But as soon as I get all the photos organised I'll put them up here.

More sewing...

I'm really into the little projects at the moment, and animals are always popular with the little people in this house.  As I was just stuffing this one into life, MissMini5 decided that she was first in line again for the elephant run, just like she was for the turtles...  Sadly she's mistaken because the test run is mine...  All mine!!  It's really cute and I like this one better as a pincushion, so I'm keeping Ellie, and the kids can have all of the turtles...

But I'm sure that by tonight I'll cave in and let them pick out some materials to have their elephants made...  I'm such a pushover sometimes...

So meet Ellie!.  She's still not finished yet, she needs eyes and some pretty felt flowers, but you get the idea...

YAY for Summer!

I love Summer...  Just love it!  The heat and the outside playing and the fun and beach and just everything about it.

There is just one drawback for me - humidity.  I have very dense, think wavy (wiry!) hair and in any humidity it just turns into a frizzball.  But anyway I digress... 

I also love the cute kids clothes that are more fun in summer...  Winter is just about layers, but summer is Fun!

And as such, this is the latest addition to Bubbs Summer wardrobe...

Sewing FRENZY!

I've been on a little sewing frenzy lately, playing around with some patterns and fabrics, and just generally making my kids heaps of clothes.  And they love having things that are made by their Mumma, and that no-one else has...  They LOVE one of a kind things!  So here's some of the things...

Random thoughts...

A friend asked me the other day why moppets 'n munchkins...  And it's something that I've always just called my kids.  When the first two were littler, I used to ask both of them if they were moppets or poppets...  And usually one would choose one nickname, while the other would choose the other name, and so we'd spend the day calling each other moppets and poppets.  Then when BubbyGirl came along, the older two were moppet and poppet, so she had to be called the little munchkin.

So I looked up google, and a moppet is another name for a rag doll (which is kinda cute!), and a munchkin keeps popping up pictures of munchkin hats.  So I'm still at a bit of a loss as to what a munchkin really is, but I've got a photo of BubbyGirl in a munchkin hat!
