Sofia's Olympic 1st

So, it was baby's 1st birthday and I thought I should try and make something for baby.
The theme was "The Olympics" and as a coincidence it was on the closind day of the Olympics in London.

This was the invitation made using cupcake cases:

 

 

 

 

 

The food (or what was left of it). I used these free printables to make the table decorations and some of the games

And of course I made her clothes. She's dressed as Mandeville the Olympic Mascot. These were the first clothes I have ever made for her.
I am so proud :)

sew does ... she

I don't remember how I came across sewing and crafting blogs...probably some Google searching on a pattern or whatever.
The point is, it got me started with sewing again.

And I'm quite happy that my blog has got someone started with sewing again as well, my sister Nita. She's living in another country and my blog is sort of a way for her to see what I've been up to.

She's a fine seamstress... I have to say that, we've been to the same schools :)

She's learning how to knit socks ... and in the meantime she's been doing some re-fashion and has even sewn a little emsemble for some friends' baby.

Isn't this soooooo cute?

crafty weekend

This weekend I had the chance/excuse to do what I enjoy doing best...sewing.

I was going to meet a friend of mine whom I hadn't seen for a few years and she now has a baby girl. I decided to make something for her little girl and this is what happened:

Of course I also had to make something for her sister's twins (a much belated gift)... both twins' names start with the letter 'S' so I thought it would be a good idea to put the initials on, then they can wear any of the bibs.




And here's a pic of the three bibs with the detail of the back fabric.

I got the bib pattern from here sometime ago and this was a very good opportunity to try it.
It was great fun and I think they liked the presents...
