She has been virtually everywhere with Jot today and in fact we nearly lost her at in the pond at Church. Luckily a friend has very quick reflexes and saved the baby doll (Jot on the other hand got a little wet :) )
Now on to my creating.
Jot and I were invited to a 40th birthday yesterday and I realised on Friday night that Jot didn't have a clean party dress that fits her so I grabbed a new pattern to me (The Molly Peasant from Sis Boom) on Saturday morning and started sewing. I cut it out in the morning, put the bodice together while Jot was napping and finished it off once she was in bed. All in it took about 3 hours to make from printing the pattern to ready to wear. So simple and easy and I have already bought the adult version for myself. She wore it today and it was great.
The weather on the other hand wasn't good so she spent most of the day with a pair of leggings and a fleece in addition to the dress
The fabric is a voile I picked up from Spotlight on sale a couple of weeks ago for $4pm and it took just short of a metre to make the dress (but I fussy cut to make the skirt all the main pattern). So the dress cost me (in materials) about $5 to make - bargin.
I have finished a quilt - but I am soo excited about that and it is getting its own post later in the week once I have been able to get good photos of it.
And my last creation is my birthday cake. We have a birthday tea at work each month and as my birthday falls in December I decided to take my cake in to work today. I try to not go too traditional each year. This year I am trying a new recipe for me a Lemon Sour Cream Cake. I even enticed a non cake eater into trying it (and he went back fro seconds) so I am happy with the result. It is kind of like a Madeira cake and very yummy.
So on that note I am off to eat cake and will wish you a good week ahead.
