BubbaChic: Bumbling on...

Had one of those days that I had the unfortunate ability to see my house for what it really was - a mess. Whilst I can handle a mess (I was very tolerant of mess when I lived alone, hugely tolerant!) I cannot tolerate anything that feels not cleaned - so a mess is ok in our house (and inevitable with Mads and Josh) as long as it is a clean mess...make sense, thought not.

So I cleaned today - proper cleaning that involved rearranging and organising and not just putting things out of view, so that I didn't have to look at the mess anymore. The first space to be cleaned - the cupboard under the stairs (an obvious choice, no?) which contains a lot of my fabrics and stuff...which have all been crammed in there for the past 6 months. They are all lined up like little soldiers now..and I have found a new pastime - just staring at my little army *sigh*

and with my new organised stash, I stumbled across some fabric that I bought last fall to make Mads clothes - then completely forgot about them (out of sight out of mind, kinda thing) This top (unfinished and needs the seams doing once I have tried it on Mads) is from Ottobre Winter 2006. I am also planning a matching pair of trousers for her winter wardrobe.

I did finish something today - this top for Maddy using this pattern (again) and the Heather Ross Camper Vans Fabric. I also have some cuuute pink corduroy to make her a matching skirt, but I am currently hunting for the right embroidery to go on it...
