holy smokes, i'm posting

oh my. i haven't posted anything for 4 months! i have been making, and i have been commemorating things made in photos but i haven't been posting. some of this can be explained by an increasingly active boy babe and a sewing project i've been putting off (therefore rendering myself unable to start other projects without feeling guilty, resulting in a strange avoidance of sewing and fabric stash perusal). happily, i've (more or less) finished the dreaded sewing i'd been dreading, and done heaps of yummy kid stuff sewing.

blogging i guess has taken a back seat, for many reasons in addition to the ones above. but recently a few things have happened which converged to increase my chances of blogging. i got a comment from the daughter-in-law of a blogger i really like, i joined photobucket (ran out of free space on flickr) and i read a really good post accompanied by amazing photos.

and so, my inspiration cup runneth over and i had the photos taken (with a new amazingly beautiful camera) and therefore, i had to post something. i think my stalemate with blogging might be over for now.

without further ado, here are his and her new pants. his are cut from an old striped t of mine, and have a sort of harem pant cut. hers are tights made from purple bamboo stretch-velour. i know! i actually also have made myself a pair. i think velour could be a new tights fabric of choice for me - sometimes tights aren't quite as warm as you want them to be in the winter and the pile of the velour really contributes to the coziness factor.

the location is the wynnum croquet club. it was really fun to shoot.







seriously, i am going to be posting again. soon. i have things to record, including my very first ever pieces of clothing that match my daughters (gasp! i know, i've reached a new level. i'm not sure where that level is though. higher? lower?).
