    Just for you Gigi...here I am.

    Sorry for the long absence but I have a good reason... I have been flat out costuming a very elaborate play for a theatre group. We just finished this weekend just gone so now I have some time to scratch myself again.
    For those that are interested in other things you can make with fabric here is a link to my gallery where I have uploaded all the rehearsal shots from the production

    Mel's Play Rehearsal Shots

    So this is what I do in my other life...hehe..... 8 months of solid designing, drafting and sewing finally paid off....and it looks like I might be nominated for a best costume award from the Victorian drama League this year too...YAY for me!!

    Now I can finally get back to nappy making and maybe even some knitting for a bit of relaxation!

    Well. Slow internet is driving me crazy, this page took like 10mins to load! How am I supposed to look at nappies hey?! I might actually have to do some *gasp* housework or something!
    Spose I could play some video games...:P

    Gigi, are you sure you haven't accidentally somehow pressed some sort of 'ignore' function with Ange, because she's been posting. Have you been skimming and just missed her?

    Mel, great to see you! I clicked the link to your costumes, but if it doesn't load within an hour, I'm closing it. :P

    I owe a couple of people PM's, I will send them when I am in a more patient mood. Maybe tonight.

    Ooh ahh Maz, the hairdressers sounds good! Did b/fing make your hair fall out? Mine is falling out! How's the disco bus going? I still have a giggle at that...(no joke, I'm giggling to myself right now)

    Are you lurking Bridie? How are things going with you?

    Hmm what else...might go make myself another cuppa while Riv's napping.

    WOTB's: Sposies. I reckon I have maybe 6 more loads of washing and I'm caught up...honestly, I fell so behind when I had Si, it was 'okay what will we wear tomorrow and I'll go wash it now' the night before.

    wow pixie - talk about speedy post! thats great!

    I am going to sew up some prefolds from flannell i have gotten this morning.

    And do you think 4 x6 x 4 is too bulky.....

    Melbel - fantastic costumes and great photos, i seriously want the male actor's black boots. Yep, i think that is the best excuse i have ever heard, for someone being quiet on this thread!

    Pink - glad Ashley is on the mend

    Nelle - SIX washloads to do! ye gads! that;s a bit scarey. I wouldn't have space to hang up six loads of washing, let alone do it LOL.

    WOTBB: cute tooshies bamboo delight and rainbow longies
