another weekend bites the dust

I swear the weekend days go faster than light!

Sunday night and what have I done all weekend, 

not much on the sewing front...

cleaned and vaccummed  the house from top to tail, 

bought up from the backyard about 7 wheelbarrows of wood with DH, 

went shopping for groceries, 

and spent about 2 hours finishing off a project...

WHY CAN'T I HAVE MORE SEWING HOURS? 

insert unhappy face here.

(well I suppose 2 hours is better than none!)

I did manage to finish this earlier in the week for the Curly Pops Hottie Challenge to be held at Opendrawer next week....

long weekend update

 this is the first time ever (in ten years) that my white nerine has bloomed

I thought I had lost this bulb years ago, but there it was...just a single bloom.

 making some of these cute little families for my next windows at Wyreena in July

and we have this up for sale....

it's my daughters car...

we have just upgraded our car, 

she has bought our old car and now we need to get rid of this one

some stitching

 working on a little something for a dear friend....almost done!

and this little guy paid us a visit on Thursday night after a day of rain, 

must of been too wet in the garden for him...

for sale

Deb dress

tagged as a size 10

did have a zip, now has a corset style lace up back (see photo)

satin with chiffon overlay

removable flowers on the bodice

bodice is gathered

sequins on straps and flowers

in perfect condition.

has been hand washed, stored in a dust free place

Now the fineprint...

this dress was purchased off ebay last year and worn once by my girl,

 and once by the previous owner who purchased it for $400!

the dress has (I think) been professionally altered 

(although the listing did not say this, I know it has, my girl is a size 10 and this just didn't fit with the zip in it! that's why I took it out)

It is a beautiful dress as you can see by the photos. 

Gloves and shoes are not for sale 

$100

free post to anywhere in Australia

If you want to see more photos I can email them to you.

if you know anyone that might be interested, please email me, 

debutant balls can be very expensive, 

and it's a bit like a wedding dress, you only wear it ONCE!
