My first award!

 Camelia Crinoline has passed this award onto me!  I am thrilled - thanks Camelia!
I didn't expect to get any awards as I only had 19 followers up until my giveaway so it's a lovely surprise!

Now 5 questions:

1. What size shoes do you wear?  If you wear a 7 can I borrow your shoes?

Alas, I wear an 8! Which is a shame because then I could have borrowed yours too!!

2. 30's or 60's?

Oh I am a child of the 60's!  Born 1962 and I love the 60's fashion ... Yeah baby!

3. Have you ever kissed someone you shouldn't have?  

Of course! Who hasn't! Sometimes things just seem illicit when you are young but then you realise when you are older that it wasn't you and others should have had more responsibility! (oohhh a bit serious!)

4. Have you ever been poisoned?  

I wonder why this question comes after the kissing question??!!  Not to my knowledge but lets face it, if you kiss someone you shouldn't maybe some one did want to/try to!! he he didn't work.

5. Who is your "celebrity free pass" list?  

a) Nick Cave  Love his music and have been listening to it since he was a drugged out singer in Birthday Party! b) Jamie Oliver because I love how he shows people how to cook good food and how easy it is to eat well. And he cares. c) Ian Curtis from Joy Division just to tell him it's ok, hang in there and it will be better d) Richard Branson because I would like some of his insights into his irreverence (I guess I could read the book but I would rather talk about it!) and e) the three grandparents who died before (well before) I could meet them.

Now I would like to pass it onto:
Some of my favourite blogs!

I think we are twins on opposite sides of the country! Same year, same shoe size, same music taste and we started blogging at around the same time(your blogoversary post made me think about it and when I went and checked I started a year ago yesterday). Thanks for the award!

The saddest dress, then a few more.

Well hello. It's been a while. It was 8 months from the last post to the previous one to that and it's a bit longer this time. The last day I wrote was 10 Jul 2021. On 12 July my son and I were finally seeing Tim Minchin  after booking it before we went to Europe at the end of 2019. It was going to be April 2020, but changed a few times and although it was a school night (year 12 for Alex) we went for dinner and sat in the show. My Mum had gone to hospital that morning and my sister was still at the hospital with her. Just after interval I got a message on my phone, "get to the hospital now". So we raced out and to the hospital where. although it was a lockdown and no visitors allowed, all 10 of us were allowed to see Mum as she was end of life. I won't go into the whole thing but Mum didn't die that night, but because of lockdown, we were not allowed to go and see her until a week and a half later when we were allowed just to discuss palliative care.

Bubble O'Bill: take 2; bikinis

With some time at home, I've been sewing a bit lately and I finally had time to make the bikinis for my son's girlfriend for her birthday. I cut them out in February from some scrap fabric my friend gave me. I made my son some swimmers   and I see someone has some for sale if you feel you are missing out 😆.   I had to piece together the bikinis as I had nearly nothing left over. I made the top back and the briefs from the free Madelynne Noelle pattern and the front top from another Madelynne pattern I can't find a link for it but was Mallory Lane. It's a basic top with scrappy back. If anyone wants it I have the download. Looks like it's not available any more.  All this piecing and mixing was purely from fabric limitations. The other fabric I mixed it with was ombre from aqua blue to purple and matched well. I asked Liv if she wanted a frill down the centre front to break up the print as I wasn't sure she would, but she loved the idea, so on the went. She tr

Emergency Rashie KS2600

I go to aqua aerobics 3 or 4 times a week and I like to wear a rashie as it's outdoor and it's a bit warmer in the (not very cold usually but really warm this) winter, and I can't reach the spots for sunscreen. In Brisbane you must wear sunscreen every day even in winter as we have the highest skin cancer rates in the world and I don't want to be any more wrinkly than I am! Anyway, I went to the Gold Coast to see my friend for a few days and I left my rashie at her place and I she wouldn't get to Brisbane for a few days so I pulled out KS 2600. I saw this pattern listed on a pattern site and then became obsessed with it till I got it but this is my first chance to try it. Isn't it lovely! I wanted to test it to see how the fit was. I've made McCall's 7417 a few times but it's long between the shoulder and the arm for me and even though I have made a few it wasn't ever a great fit but it is a quick sew. The pants on the McCall's is a good fit
