i've been trying to delay listing some new dresses, cause i wanted to do them in a big lump, but i really want to do it now! and i said that i would be posting them here first so i better put up at least a sneak of them....

mmmm moss!

A couple of days ago, when i started to feel the nip in the air will i was out and about, i thought to myself,
"What i need are some knuckledusters".
Then i realised was was wishing for the wrong thing and actually what i wanted where Knuckle WARMERS!

i saw these beauties and they are made locally by Huggleknits.etsy.com and you know what, cause i bought locally i had them within the week!!! how amazing! i don't know why it never accured to me that i should recieve it so fast, but it is great and now my knuckle are warm warm warm, and my fingers are free to do the walking!

new dresses!

so just in case you thought i had given up the cause, what i actually have been doing is quietly beavering away at some new dresses for my store! i have received an amazing amount of gorgeous fabrics and have actually been working quite hard at it!

Some are very definately christmas dresses, while others are more or less anytime dresses, here are just a few to whet your appetite! i am thinking of listing a good few of them next week, prob monday or tuesday. I will however load up photos of them here before i put them in my shop, so you know what you can expect!

here are just two of them... size 6 months and size 2

my talented sister

She has just started an etsy site, and is very talented, her house is gorgeous, everytime i go there its different!

Sneaky sneaky

fluffy.

Yesturday i saw a squirrel. He was bouncing around on the ground from nut to nut, and i never noticed before how funny their tails are! they kind of freeze in mid air! so cute. Mostly though, i was really suprised because i was in an inter-city church grounds, and i totally never expected squirrels around!

wowow!

oh my goodness! i'm so flattered! my St.Peppers coat ended up on the front page of etsy again!!! thank you to whoever made it!

finished!

Finally! this one is my site now! so happy it is finished!
