'tis the time to.....

So, been a while. Crafting, teaching the lil'un to sew, and watching shit christmas movies seem to be the thing for me at the moment.
I'm quite homesick too, which is making the mehs.

 There's been windy but pretty evenings....

 Made myself a little elf hat....

 And a dress for lil'un

 Went ice skating, next time will have acquire my own skates, these rented ones were horrible!

 Some decoration for the backyard....

 Reflector brooch as a xmas pressie

 Some scrap crafting...

Learning....

Dogs need reflective vests too!

Played with my camera, thinking about getting a lens set for it, as it is good, even though it's old.....

More shit I've made

Been a bit quiet again, but hey ho.. In 3 weeks time I'll be packing  my bags and going for a little holiday back in Finland, to live live like normal folk for a while...Me and the sprog are looking forward to this.
I've been pimping up my luggage, as it's quite plain looking, which means that spotting it can be a bit irritating in the baggage arrivals...Also been takin pics of more crap I've made during the last few years.... So rest of the post is more or less pics of  DIY junk.
Here we go...

Little one got some new curtains, just turned the edges neatly and quick passionate moments with my sewing machine, and done....

 Then I had some moments with my overlocker, and made this flappy hippy tunic, no patterns though..

 Ordered this lovely fleece from America, and it turned into a folklore inspired vest. All the ribbons are vintage bits that I have stashed....

Pencil skirt I made a few years back, it has a little frill in the bottom with a bow, just to give a little oomph to my already OOOOMPH arse... No patterns with this one.

Had more of this fabric, so tried a 50's inspired pattern on it, came out ok...

 A fluffy coat I made years ago. Heart shaped pocket and ties in front.

 Something I wove in school. It was not fun...........

 World Book Day required a book related outfit, so made this Little My outfit for sprog to wear.

 First go in sweetie sewing....Not great, but sproglet was happy to get a little pouch..

 Pimping up the suitcase a bit.....

And because my life is boring and we do nothing else, that's about it....
Ta-ra....

Winter wear.....

Everytime I hear women who dress up in things I wouldn't even call clothes, use the explanation "I wear this for myself", it makes me cringe.
This is what I wear for myself, when I want to be comfortable, happy in my own body and feel good.

My Elvis-onesie. It is fleece, so warm and comfy, bought from Primarks salerack for £3. No need for feet-killing high heels, a fuckton of make up, or tits that have been tightly squashed under my chin.
So there.

Autumn/Winter

This time of year tends to give out the prettiest morning and evening skies.

 The hound did some quality chewing, and then commenced on to staring at my plate, hoping the food would relocate from it to her mouth.
Sunsets and sunrise moments are the shiz to keep us going through the otherwise pretty miserable winter season. No snow to lighten up the scenery either. But hey ho.
