Bradley's Life Lesson Number 8

When you ask your son to model a skirt, you get everything you deserve.

My Creative (Dressed Up) Space

This week I'm thrilled to say there has actually been some creating in my creative space.

For a while now we've been experimenting with drafting a pattern for a boy's classic dress shirt with tie.

So with the new sewing room more-or-less set up, and some rainy days perfect for staying indoors, it seemed like a good opportunity to have a play.

We wanted something comfortable, cute and fun.  Dressy, without being boring.

There's still a bit of work to do to get the collar right - but other than that we're really happy with the result.

Even if we did shed a tear when we realised just how grown up our little boy had become.

My Creative (Nature) Space

Another week in which moving house takes priority over creating (although some of my packing techniques have, admittedly, been what you'd call 'creative').

But a break from crafting is also a good time to re-charge the batteries, and look around you for inspiration.

So my creative inspiration this week comes from our front yard, courtesy of nature.

Serendipity is a funny thing.  I actually have some lace-weight yarn that I have been carrying around, trying to work out what to make from it.  And this spider's web has given me an idea.... now I just need to work out how to make it happen!
