Hi there

June 28, 2011 by Abby 5 Comments

boys

I love cruising blogs for inspiration. I drool over many a food blog and I adore craft blogs. There are so many crafty people out there with some fantastic ideas, especially talented mums making things for their babies…BUT, they all seem to have little girls! There’s not much out there with great ideas for boys. As the mum of a gorgeous 8 month old baby, I’m always doing things for my 2 boys (bubs and the hubby). The hubby is always telling me to get a blog going and put my brain to good use… it doesn’t get much exercise child wrangling all day.

I’m using the blog as a place to document all the things I get up to…crafting, cooking, DIY and decorating. I don’t know how much time I’ll have to do these things, and to post them, but I’m hoping it won’t be too infrequently.

Hopefully you will be inspired by some of the things that go on here…and they’re not only for boys.

    Hello! Wishing you all the best for your new blog. I’ve always thought about having a blog but I can’t find enough time. Sigh. I’ll have to live through others. Will be following you on Google Reader. Looking forward to hearing all about your adventures!

    Crap… when writing that comment I had to choose a name to comment as, and I think I’ve accidentally created a blog of my own… Oops!

Secret pyjamas! My dress for this year's @sew_melb Secret pyjamas! My dress for this year's @sew_melbourne garden party was the Charlie Caftan by @closetcorepatterns. I shortened it at the shoulders by an inch and think I shortened it at the bottom too. I altered the pockets so they attach into the waist panel, because I hate when in-seam pockets flap about and pull at the side seams. The side slits are a double turn narrow hem as the overlock and turn as suggested in the pattern looked puckered. The fabric is a Cotton + Steel rayon by Masaru Suzuki, which is a dream to sew with. I've made another dress in the red colour way.
Beans from the garden and my favourite way to eat Beans from the garden and my favourite way to eat them... Stir fry in hot oil (coconut is delish but whatever you have is fine) until a bit burnt (about 5 mins). Chuck in a few squirts of fish sauce for the last 5 secs and toss through. 
Give them a minute to cool if you can lest you burn your mouth.

A new hat! I used the free #closetcoresunhat. I've A new hat! I used the free #closetcoresunhat. I've added a hair hole, since why don't all hats have that?! Also added some garden wire to the brim.  Instead of finishing the brim edge with bias, I did the usual RST stitch, fold and top stitch. That means the brim is a little shorter than the pattern. I wanted to keep the hat lightweight, so it's unlined and has only the two layers of canvas fabric for the brim. The cotton canvas is a vintage fabric from my stash, which originally cost 15 shillings and 9 pence (I think) per yard.
