A sneak peek

It has been a good weekend here, even though it has been raining. Our garden was in dire need of a good drink after the heat wave of last week (it went up to 42C!). The roses are looking a lot happier now. I am also a lot happier - I finally managed to get some good blocks of sewing time (a rare treat with two kids under two). I made some baby gifts using Tasha Noel's gorgeous fabric line, The Simple Life. And Alexander had lots of fun playing with daddy in the rain. Happy times.

I will post pictures of the baby gifts after their recipients get them later this week. Don't want to spoil the surprise, just in case they are following this blog! In the mean time here is a sneak peek of what you could have found around my sewing table these last couple of days... 

The baby gifts when they were still works in progress. Can you guess what they are?

A cute little girl.

And a cute little boy. A very messy one.

A new stash of fabric.

My embroidery floss box. I love the rainbow of cotton floss.

And finally some adorable white t-shirts that my mum sent for Alice, just the perfect blank canvas for a cute applique at the front. Look at that gorgeous lace edging on the neck and the sleeves. If only I could decide what to put at the front. Any suggestions?
