sewing and slowing down

Well on Sunday I finally got the sewing machine plugged in and made a dent in my to do list. First up were 3 cushions in hollabee fabric (from my store of course) for my SIL’s birthday which were quick and easy (I got these all ready to post before snapping so they’re a tad folded).


next up was a softie for keira that was also quick and easy and here’s my little miss in her role as quality control inspector


and I managed to cut out the Amy Butler birdie sling and have to whip up 2 this week for birthdays….it actually will make a great nappy bag as its larger and roomier than I expected and I’m even going to put pockets in which is something I tend to skip on my own bags only to regret it when I can’t find a thing in my bags!


and after all of that I was exhausted….I am officially now in slow down mode as everything tires me out from walking the stairs to the shopping aisles to entertaining keira…the babies weighed 1738 and 1739 grams today and have impressive head sizes that measure 2 weeks ahead but thats no suprise as keira had a 37cm head at birth….they are both head down but unfortunately in the same corner of my body which is rather uncomfortable but with less than 6 weeks to go the end is in sight and then the fun really begins…..and here is my belly which now measures an impressive 115cm which is about 3/4 of my height!!!!

    Hope you don’t get too uncomfortable, I know how hard the last weeks are but I only ever had one in there at a time.

  2. Impressive baby bump! Hope the coming weeks pass quickly and comfortably for you! I am amazed you are still finding time to sew – love your cushion covers!

  3. Lots of cute things you made! I would be slowing too if I had 2 in the oven.
