New York New York

Two tops for Chloe, both with a common theme however.....

....because I couldn't resist the fabrics!

I can't believe it's November....

How time has flown...Chloe started secondary school in September and loves it, celebrated her 12th birthday at the end of September and went bowling with her friends:

Having grown a lot in height over the past six months a new bike was an ideal birthday present:

And that is why my blog has been so quiet... I've been too busy sewing!!!

Chloe's Year 6 Leavers Ball

I can't believe the time has nearly come for my little girl to leave primary school. She's had a great year, came home with a fantastic report on Friday and went back to school for an evening to remember....

Birthday Celebrations

I've had a wonderful weekend celebrating my 40th Birthday, which started with a party on Saturday night, being spoilt rotten by friends and family with some fantastic presents and culminating in a family dinner tonight.

Red White & Blue

...in other words my patriotic top! Just right for spring teamed with a pair of jeans...

Our French Adventure

This year Chloe's school residential was a trip to France, which luckily for me also meant I was asked if I would like to go too.....

And what a fantastic week we had!

Made to Measure

I don't normally sew without a pattern, however as I didn't have one I made it up as I went along....A little tedious but Chloe likes her new backpack which is just as well as she'll be carrying it round for her week residential trip to France soon!
