Signs of Summer

Hmm, global warming has a lot to answer for! Hot or cold, no in between! Today was definatley a hot one- and my summer faves have all popped up.

Like salad dinners. this one in a yummy roll. Actually we had them for lunch, too, I am so rapt that Little Miss is eating lettuce! She realises she gets to say 'poo' when she does, as in 'it makes my poo soft'- hey, I have to get her to eat it somehow! My grandfather used to say 'lettuce cleans your blood'- not as exciting too a potty mouth age school kid!

Murray got a trip to the beach- a little section where dogs rule the roost, and get to cool down, and makes friends with other dogs and people.

All tuckered out.....

oh, and you know the man in the red suit is just around the corner when these some out- Bakers Delight mince pies, and their new Lemon Tart. I could take or leave the lemon tart, but there mince pie- I'm glad I didn't buy a six pack. Although it's better than a six pack of beer!!

What's your favourite summer treat?

I'm Back

Gosh, what a long blogging break for me! A whole week! I have been a bit busy, as you will see below- this is the surprise for my friend, well, for her 2yr old, he's seen it and doesn't give a toss, so I thought I'd surprise her! I had it layed out, and toddled off to bed, to find in the morning....

cat help! Thanks, Ace. Back to it tonight.

I made this one for Little Miss today, as I put it on her I realised she hadn't grown THAT much and last years stuff will still fit- but it's fun making a new summer wardrobe! This was inspired by this chickie- the tea towel was too small for an adult apron, too big for a kids one. Perfect for a dress!!

With summery backing- making me wish it was here now!

I finished off a pair of leggings, and the school shorts got new elastic. They'll do for one more term, then I might splurge for next year and make her 2 more pairs. They were getting a bit "toight"- a bit more comfy now.

Oh, no REAL op shopping this week, but did pick these up- she SO needs a dressing gown, she might get one by next winter! And love the dress- I think I'll do a long one, but sleeveless, like a kiddie version of a maxi dress.

OK, back to reassuring my cat she IS a great help, but only when I ask.
