But at close to 14 weeks now - the sickness is starting to subside. And when I get to see images of his/her little hands growing - it all makes it feel worthwhile!

My first foray with Oil cloth..
So, I don't think I've ever even touched Oil cloth (and I'm the the first to acknowledge that the feel of the fabric is just as important as how it looks) - but I think I'm about to take a leap of faith and order some online.
I love the way it looks on these chairs over at MADE (by Dana)
We have a bench seat on our new outdoor area, and I need to make a box cushion for it. I think this black and white pattern from Oil cloth Addict will be just perfect
My only concerns are how it will feel under backside - and whether it will fade badly under our relentlessly sunny Queensland sky? But I think I'm going to take that leap of faith, and buy some.

new dress pattern - thanks to Soulemama :)
I'm a bit excited (although I feel like a bit of a stalker whenever I talk about Soulemama) but she's blogged about a dress today - and it's something I've been looking for.
I made Lola a 'pinafore' dress recently (which I drafted up from one I bought) and I love the style (I blogged about it here and here). It's the type of dress she could wear all year round (only a few months here in Queensland require any warm clothing).
Only problem with the dress though, was that it didn't cover her bum. Which is all cute, and sweet when she toddles around in her cloth nappies - but I wondered whether I could modify it or find a new pattern where it was more of a dress/dress (if that makes sense).
And today while I was doing my daily check of Soulemama's blog (yes I know, 'daily' - sometimes even twice daily) - I found that she'd made this dress for her daughter:
And I linked off and found the pattern at Nearsea Naturals:
So of course I had to order the pattern. I wonder how long till they sell out now that Soulemama has blogged about it?
