Ooh

Post 200 squeeee lol!!!  Hmmm might have to do a giveaway, yes?  Well comment here and I'lll send something in the post to one of the commentors.


William has wanted a cap for ages, he keeps stealing Sarah's beret, so I used the Huck Finn Pattern from Sew Liberated, after a fair bit of swearing and gnashing of teeth - I think because the wee one is sick and kept me up half the night and I'm stressing, I over thought things, it's actually goes together fairly quickly - like in under an hour, there a few things i'd change for next time, but I don't have time for next time at the moment. 


As you can see by the photos William is super chuffed lol!!  He even smiled for the camera.

And I think purple is his colour - look at those gorgeous eyelashes.


Make a veil
Make a smocked flower girl dress - (its cut)
Make a bridal purse
Make a ring pillow
Take up a bridesmaid dress x 2
Alter the grooms suit
but add on ties for the groom, best man, DOTB and small man.  And possibly vests .......


Seems the list is slowly, slowly getting smaller.


And then it gets bigger as I forget things we need to have done like
Shirt/tie for Shane - we have the shirt, still have to find a tie.
Test flavours for the wedding cake and we are testing the vegan cupcakes today.
I'm sure there is more, thank heavens my sis and mum arrive this week.

For a smiley boy!

Still working away in the Cherub Camp.

Orders and wedding stuff.  Still a few orders to go, I'm not behind with timeframes, but I dislike people waiting, so keep an eye on the blog as I finish orders up.

These ones are for a wee little smiley boy, who I get to see for the first time on Friday, can't wait .....

Semi-custom slot

Would you like a semi-custom slot?  This slot is for 2 items with free post.  Semi-customs will be very limited when we return from our short break for our daughters wedding, we will be returning to mostly in stock items, with semi-customs listed on Fridays only.  We are gearing up for a couple of big events and our time for customs will be severely curtailed.

Just visit Mindful Parentings Winter Issue

And let us know what pages CK feature on with what? And I'll pop your name in a random draw. (we have two items in the mag)

This is a paid slot  (prices depend on items chosen) but with free post and a little something extra with *love* from us.  Our normal terms and conditions apply for this slot.

Drawn today at 12pm.   Please comment here in the blog or on the FB page post.

Some of the week that was ...

Some of the sewing that got done last week.

In the lead up to the wedding, we are running full speed during the week, so that the weekends are free for wedding preparation, so we are speeding through the semi-customs - lead time currently is approximately 2 weeks.  Semi-customs are nearly always available at the moment - you can email us through our contact button, or buy those instore .

We've also popped up some preorders for those that would like to build their stash - they have panels, but nothing else and you can find them here

We will be closed for orders etc the last week of June as this is the week before the wedding, and we have lots of last minute items that will need doing.
