A prize! For Me?

It was my first day back at work today after a delicious 8 days off. I thought I
was ready. I really did.
Nope.

We slept in. Raced out the door. Risked the whole trip with a flashing petrol light.
I rang a colleague on the way to cancel my first few appts, and the lovely girl drove over to my centre and opened it up for, AND saw my first client! That gave me time to get me and her a coffee!

The rest of the day was a blur; I jumped in the car FINALLY and headed to school pickup and basketball training. Halfway home we realised- the kid left her school bag in the hall! In our hurry in the cold to the car, I hadn't even thought about it! A mild tanty occurred when I firmly said 'NO' to driving back to school for an empty bag.

Imagine my delight when I found the card in the letterbox and found the postie had
cleverly hidden my parcel for me.
Surprise!


 Jennie had a giveaway over on her blog, which was hotly contested for and
which I luckily won! Check out the cute remote control!


I was also channelling my lovely afternoon yesterday today,  when I thought it would collapse around me. An amazing afternoon tea, organised by...the most organised hostess! Nikki provided the venue, more pics are over there as well!


 Amazing lemon tart- after the first one disappeared, I kept saying 'there are two!' Yum!


Awesome prizes for a raffle;


and even a take home treat, which I gave to my lovely sister for allowing me a
 child free afternoon!


 And that mini dress? soooo cute! I put the hat on top to help reference the size,
the pen didn't help for me!


Yep, the good stuff definitely outweighs the bad stuff. What crappy day?

Jump Rope Dress

It's nearly finished, buttons and buttonholes (ugh) to go! I tried the bodice on without the skirt, and thought, uh-oh, too small. But now it's all together, it looks great. AND she loves it.


There are great tips to go with this sew a long, however I found the pattern so easy to follow,
with hints along the way, I didn't refer back to the computer.

She picked the fabrics herself from the stash (a bit mothbally, so they must be op shopped).
I bought my first iPhone app this weekend, this great camera one, suggested by this girl at NCB!






I have to agree, lots of fun! As my models smiling-ly show you.
