Wow hello 2014, I didn't even realise I hadn't written on here since
last year. My apologies to anyone that has been checking and there has not
been one post.<br />
<br />
Well I am still around, My little
Carter keeps me well on my toes. He is a very cute boy, he is loving and
makes sure most times that I am only a few feet away.<br />
<br />
I
have been knitting and sewing lately, I made my own variation of a baby
doll sling, it has not been photographed as of yet, because our little
helpers for one, don't want to wear it long or second, don't stand still long
enough.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
So without further rambling here is my latest car seat blanket.</div>

As you can tell it is a plain stitch, I picked up the edge the wrong way around that I normally do, But it ended in a nice little stitch the whole way around. </div>

Carter couldn't resist bringing over my herbal tea for a little drink. The plan was to photograph it lying flat. He is like a cat, anytime you lay out a pattern or the paper to read they come right over and sit in the middle.</div>

Crepe paper, it was a huge hit in the 70's and probably early 80's if my memory serves me right. I wasn't that old back then.</div>

My invites for Carter's1st birthday had bunting on it, so I knew that I wanted bunting at his party. I had wanted to do fabric ones and in the colours on his invite and I had a plan to give away each of my nieces and nephews a string to keep as a memento.</div>

But with the sale of the house and the crazy next door neighbour, time wasn't on my side. So I went down to the local dollar bargain store and picked up some crepe paper.</div>

I used double-sided tape and ran that along the top of each triangle.</div>

With the narrow roll of crepe paper I cut it in half and used more double-sided tape and there you have it colourful bunting.</div>

I have been the worst blogger since Carter came along. But I have been sewing lately and here is the two dresses I have made for Carter's little friend Sienna.</div>

Meet Angelina Dollie. I have become very addicted to looking at Waldorf dolls, and as I have been blessed with boys I don't need to buy them. But I do have many family members with only girls so I am very lucky I can sew for them and giving them as gifts is an awesome feeling.</div>

I didn't have a pattern for a head so I think it is a little bit chunky, but I think that kind of gives her charm.</div>

The brought the owl fabric for Carter before he was born, but the fabric was cut at an angle from the store and the pattern I had didn't fit. It was just half a centimeter off. I love this owl fabric.</div>

I have been able to sew out one bib yesterday, Carter was happy to model it as long as he got to play or chew on the lens cover.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used one fat Quart, to make this bib. It is a bib that I have posted on this blog before it is from <a href="http://www.craftinessisnotoptional.com/">craftiness is not optional</a>. Because Carter is wider in the chest I made the bib bigger/wider in the chest, it worked perfectly.</div>

I used a cowboy fabric from spotlight. As he is teething at the moment this bib is perfect for staying in place and catching all the drool.</div>

Carter and I go swimming, I took his baby bag and another the first day and it was a nightmare. So I worked a little sewing magic and made this bag.</div>

My wool store is closing down, it is so handy to me and the owner is great too. She is so helpful and I have learnt alot from her. I will miss going there and chatting, it is a little harder these days as I have Carter to think about. He is a light sleeper and will sleep in pram but if it stops hello high beams are on.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I knew if I had a boy he had to have a matching beanie to dad's Koolhaas hat by <a href="http://brooklyntweed.net/" target="_blank">Jared Flood of Brookyln Tweed</a> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I first thought I had to adapt the pattern because his head being smaller, I only cast on 88 stitches, pattern called for more.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPbeGpfv5wUX1WHiso_yMAvBVyWoBmxaePmcqs7352zNRY-u3rApJNM8U6Ub0TQkT2ix1JJugi89hI3JMeaYtWRQTKIyusQa9WhQyZVgE1WnBViE_HPWp_sBpLzB7DAPHkfrth9rqR6TA/s1600/IMG_3839.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPbeGpfv5wUX1WHiso_yMAvBVyWoBmxaePmcqs7352zNRY-u3rApJNM8U6Ub0TQkT2ix1JJugi89hI3JMeaYtWRQTKIyusQa9WhQyZVgE1WnBViE_HPWp_sBpLzB7DAPHkfrth9rqR6TA/s640/IMG_3839.JPG" width="426" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He looked too cute so had to take some photos, then I realised that I could probably cast on the same amount of stitches because I was only using a 4 ply and I was using smaller needles also.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWDN5sQhAisEKUj0TLxmOhyk1n81LjkpHoibyeY4Fglojxd_X6-q1pqRGY06TxqSvynuZnH_oDAVSwLJfayUwC7-FqiKQOzUugKHz-reMpwdJnQDLYK6d6zhRSrR_sZul2RiiWPqzHnUo/s1600/IMG_3840.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWDN5sQhAisEKUj0TLxmOhyk1n81LjkpHoibyeY4Fglojxd_X6-q1pqRGY06TxqSvynuZnH_oDAVSwLJfayUwC7-FqiKQOzUugKHz-reMpwdJnQDLYK6d6zhRSrR_sZul2RiiWPqzHnUo/s640/IMG_3840.JPG" width="426" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then spoke with Michele (my knit pro) and she suggested that I could also use a slightly bigger needle. so I unravelled my work and started again. The new beanie I am working on will fit for much longer as I can get it on my head. ( I have a small head ) Anyway when I have finished I will post the photos.</div>

I have known for ages that I wanted to make Mila a romper, and I did them last minute. I just couldn't find a pattern that was exactly what I had in mind, with four days left till christmas I had to pick one. </div>

<strike>Hello, I really intended to post this yesterday so I had a post for the first day of the year. Sadly my days don't always go as planned with a eleven week old boy. I don't know how the ladies with more then two children do it. </strike></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strike><br /></strike></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strike>Carter is a awesome contented baby and easy, he doesn't complain much. If he does it is for only two reasons, feeding and put me to sleep please.</strike></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just realised in New Zealand we are a day ahead so the date of this post is still the first, yippee.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I thought what better way to start the new year then a nice chocolate cake. Since Carter has been born and I was able to function again I have wanted cake. Michael has been to the shop to buy it which was great. But there is nothing like home-made cake.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

It is a chocolate cake filled with fresh cream and because it is summer what better then fresh Strawberries. Topped with a ganache.</div>

I find this fabric at a craft store that was closing down, so it was half price. It is a Michael Miller fabric but I don't know which designer. I had to have it, even though it leans more towards a boy I just love the insects in a jar.</div>

100% pure merino, I just love this fabric. I also like to wear merino myself, so it is only natural that baby's wardrobe and accessories also have merino featured in it too.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Like the previous wrap I used a bias binding in silk this time. It was a little harder as the silk was slippery and the merino is so soft.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
It was hard for me to choose colours when you don't know the sex, but I really love the bright colours of the green and red.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The only thing I didn't have were light weight beanies, so I brought the cream one and made two more out of the left over wrap fabric.</div>

I think they turned out quite well. The red beanie is a bit too thick as it is a double knit cotton, it was my first attempt.</div>

I cut the fabric to 100 cm by 80 cm as that is the size I found in most of the stores, also some merino wraps were 80 cm by 80 cm. The leftover that I trimmed I am planning on making a simple pant.</div>

It is no surprise to people that know me, that I love to bake. I don't eat a-lot of it and sometimes I only have a tiny crumb to see if it tastes okay to give away. </div>

But not ginger crunch, it is one of my favourites, I have only made it about 3 times. I was on a roll this week, I made two and one chocolate caramel slice (which I didn't take a photo of) and I also made a lemon and coconut brownie (which had no chocolate) </div>

I wanted to also do a mitre corner. But my lack in patience how to be shown, I just pick up all the edges and ribbed it. I still love it, as the corners curl under so bubs feet should stay nice and covered.</div>

My Brother's daughter turned five yesterday. What did she want on her cake? A ballerina or Tinker-bell. I immediately thought how about both of them!</div>

I have seen Ombre cakes on the internet, but never had a reason to make one, until now. I made pound cake and split the mixture into four. It had a white chocolate butter cream on the inside.</div>

I knew that when I drew the design, I wanted to do a rose on the cake to match Angelina's one she has on her dress. Also the stripes were something I love on cakes and want to try it, so this is my first attempt, a few wonky lines but I was pretty happy.</div>
