| Whale Shark, 'Sculpture by the sea', Cottesloe 2012 |
My weekend began on Friday with a delightful trip to Cottesloe beach with my parents for the annual 'Sculpture by the sea' exhibition.

After this relaxing start, the weekend got much busier. We are having new carpet this week so we were lugging furniture out of the bedrooms and madly touching up paint before the new carpet goes in. My bathroom is now so full of stuff it looks like an episode of 'Hoarders'! Actually, that's a bit like my sewing room all the time - oops.
Still, we managed to fit in a couple of local fairs where the boys got to skateboard...
...and, more importantly, I snatched some moments to work on my latest sewing project.
This is quite a change from what I usually make (it has a zip for a start!). It has many little steps and is fitted and lined. Yes, just a bit different from my usual knit fabric casuals - but exciting and a little bit sexy!
I hope to have it finished soon and to take some photos this week. Can't wait to show you :)

Sounds good, we had a sculpture by the sea down here a couple of weeks ago and it was really great. Very cool felted wool swing chair (?!) and a very cool rug and big pot made from rope collected from the beach.
Looking forward to seeing what you are making. Thanks for your comment on my shorts they were from a burda style pattern, Pleated shorts feb 13. Here's the link. http://www.burdastyle.com/pattern_store/patterns/pleated-shorts-022013.
Lovely snaps - you and your Mum could be sisters! And of course, can't wait to see what you're stitching up!

The new project looks lovely! It's not "Lily" is it (the lining suggests it's not, but you'd find it easy to adapt)?
Yes, I too have thought my corner looks "hoarder" (I'll tidy up/reduce when I'm ready, alright?!).
Lovely to "meet" your parents :-)
That sounds like a weekend relaxing and full of fun .... contradictory, right?? Love your sewing project, looking forward to see more of it ....
I just discovered your blog via Pinterest, and I'm instantly hooked! You are one talented/creative lady! :)
I'm especially loving your refashions, as I'm really into refashioning!

Mmm. What's your sewing project???
Sounds great, you are lucky to live there. Thanks for the link :)
Thank you. Would you believe she's 70 this year!?? I think you might just have an inkling what this could be!
No, not 'Lily'. I agree, I cluttered space equals a creative mind - right??
Thank you. I can't wait to finish it but there are fiddly bits right to the end....slowly getting there :)
...not long now, stay tuned!
Wow, thank you for the lovely comment :) I've just checked out some of your refashions - great ideas!
Wow, thank you! :)
