my creative space...



Its been a long week and its not over yet... I've been playing nurse to the others in the owlet nest and I'm hoping they'll all start to be on the mend soon. Aside from mending the rest of the family, I've been working on mending old nappies, but I'm dubious as to whether they'll hold up, so the enthusiasm has waned rather... I'd rather be playing with colour anyhow.... This is a custom Mini Mei Tai for a little one up north. I was lucky enough to hold her as a newborn and now she's big enough to carry her own babies around!! Where did that time go?

So today I'll be replacing the broken needle in my sewing machine and hoping the new one doesn't break before I get another order finished... haven't had much luck with needles lately. I think my machine is starting to slow down a bit, like me...

Go and hang out among the creative peeps at Kirsty's.

  3. I love the fabric with the little birdies on! Very cute! Good luck with your machine - mine seems to have 'off days' when needles and thread constantly snaps! I guess just like we have bad days too! Hope everyone is feeling better!

  9. Geez. That sounds like one of those scary blink-and-you-miss experiences. Excuse me? But where was I while you went and grew up? Fab Mei Tei fabric selection...

  11. Your mini mei tai is still in regular use at our place (flowers out thank you!)

    I had a needle-snapping episode a while back, I just went for a larger/stronger needle.

    I have a local contact who does a good machine service (for much less than usual) if you want his details, let me know.
