PEE PEE TENTS....

After spending a day cleaning my sewing room I actually managed to do something this weekend. I haven't sewn on the machine in about 8 weeks....

Something easy to start with I think.

A colleague of mine is having a little boy and leaving work in 3 weeks. She wanted these TEE PEE TENTS made. I had never heard of them so I searched Pinterest. Oh, now I get it..
They looked simple enough. So off shopping I went.
Flannelette dinosaur print and a soft mint green towelling.


I traced around a salad bowl that was about 6 1/2" diameter.
I then cut it out, folded it in half 3 times and cut out 3 sections leaving 5/8s of a circle...
Cut out 1 piece in flannelette and towelling. Stitch them together...

These are very quick to make.
I used a 20cm strip * 1 m wide of flannelette and towelling.
I managed to get 8. You can't really see that it is a shape like a witches hat but they should be ok.
I think maybe I should have got a photo from a different angle. 


I got the idea after looking at many sites on Pinterest but this is the one I followed.

My FANTASTIC Mother's Day 2016, THANKYOU KRISTY

On Mother's Day this year our daughter surprised us by taking us out for lunch. All we knew was to dress nice, don't have a big breakfast, be ready by lunch time and we will be home for dinner...
MMMMMMMM..... What's going on here.
Kristy picked us up and we left home by 11.30am. Into the city we go...
We ended up at a lovely German Beer house restaurant.
11 people in all and it was a great surprise and lovely day out.....
I was also given some flowers and a new pair of pjs from my daughter and the stepson and girlfriend gave me some summer pjs. I'm set for the year now....
Beautiful daughter, KRISTY & I

Celebrating my new granddaughter to be.......

We went to my daughter in laws baby shower...
She got a lot of beautiful gifts.
She did say she was hoping for a quilt from me but thought it rude to mention it.
Of  course I would make one for her....
Here she is a very lovely 7 1/2 months pregnant.
My daughter Kristy, DIL Tash and me....
