This week didn’t quite go as I had planned it to. Yesterday we got a message that my sons school is closed the whole week because of 3 teachers tested positive with Covid19. So, the plans I had went down the drain and instead I have to figure out other things that I can do downstairs. Like fabric Christmas trees. ????
Pattern for the tree is from patterns for pirates!

Yesterday was a very productive day! Even though my machines were messing a bit with me. Like breaking a needle and making the thread in to a birds nest. A hat for my friends son, bib for the shop, pants for my son and 2 Christmas trees! The green one is for my son, it didn’t come together nice enough for the shop hehe. The red one, I didn’t take a pic of yet since I haven’t filled it up. This is what I am using my scraps for. Filling up stuff like the Christmas trees. No fabric goes to waste like this! The pants is pattern from the lovely #puperita #junglepants
I made my mum some shirts for her birthday but I couldn’t show it here before giving it! Here they are! I have made the shirts and the print! I don’t sell the Olaf print, it is licensed.
Because of the lockdown, we are only allowed to have 3 visitors per day… PER DAY! So, with my sons birthday coming, we need to split the celebration in to multiple days. So today is the 1st of the week. It ends with a childrens party on Saturday with a jumping castle and face paint. Yesterday I baked, cleaned and baked a bit more. So all is done for the 3 people stopping by lol. Today I am going to sort my fabric stash so I know what I have and not have and IF there is time, I am going to make the order of 4 mouth caps for a friend in Sweden.

After soon a week in my homecountry, we are tomorrow going back to Netherlands. As usual when I have been away from my work, I have PLENTY of ideas what to make of what.
We have been celebrating my youngest brother (he turned 25 years), my son (turns 5 in a week) and my mum who turns 59 the 2nd November. Plenty of hugs and cakes!

Since Facebook has decided I can’t have a shop on my Facebook page, I will just start using my blog more. I am really done with fb changing things and I have to redo everything all over again. But hey, that’s the good thing with also having your own webpage, it’s yours hehe.
Well, lately I have been creating a lot of mouth caps (we just went back in to semi lockdown), gifts for my sons friend who had birthdays. And washable cotton pads! Lets try and save the nature a bit at a time.
Here below are some of the things I have done lately.
Yeah, where to start. Pandemic, yes, still on lockdown, schools are at least open half time.
My dad passed away after a year of cancer. So suddenly I had to find a way to get to Sweden, even though it was a pandemic. But I had some papers allowing me and Chris to go. We lived at my mums spare room, I got to say the last goodbye to my dad at the funeral.
But, I have also been up to things while staying inside and grieving. Sewing is AWESOME medicine!
And ofc… Getting FURIOUS at people trying to make a lot of money on people who wants mouth caps. 20!!! Euros for a mouth cap they way. Hell no. 3.50 I took for the materials for my friends. Since I am a company, I can’t give them for free 🙁 But I made 16 of them as requested from friends and need to make another 6 tomorrow or so for another friend.
I got an order that needs to go to Sweden so I decided to ship away my sons gift to his grandma as well at the same time. And also her pillow cases I have made. I just forgot to take a picture of them before shipping them so that will come later. The order to Sweden was a lot of fun! 2 sets, in each set hat, bib, pants and a romper with text. I also had another order that I was supposed to bring with my trip to there but I have a feeling that trip will be cancelled so I shipped that one as well.
The pattern for the pants are from Puperita, as usual.

Except for the machine needed to be re-threaded 10 times to be happy, I am on a roll! Fixed the width of my son’s bestie’s skirt I made yesterday (when she jumped, she lost it haha) so added elastic to it. I also dropped off the cross stitch work i made a week ago and she will deliver home-made dumplings later today, YUMMY! And 2 clothing were made for my son, a pair of pants and a shirt. Both are patterns from Puperita, Jungle pants and Swank t-shirt.

It has been a week or so since the last time I saw my machines. Been planning and cutting fabrics and of course, having your kid at home, makes everything go a bit slower. But yeah, I do prefer being with him anyway hehe. But today I finally got to sew a bit. 2 finished items! One for my son and the other for his bestie. The shirts pattern is Swank T-shirt and the skit, butterfly skirt, both from Puperita.
