It's Official

Yes it's official I CANT sew clothes of any sort.

This is my effort of a toga that Caitlin wore for her dress up day on her second last day of school.

Everyone else hired their costumes but i had just had a long hard talk (that finally sunk in,mind you) with Caitlin

about saving her money as next year she will be a poor Uni student.

Well her brain wave to save money was for mum to make a costume instead.

Now all you ladies out there who sew really well you would have had a fit if you saw how i made this. No measuring just a pair of scissors and some not very straight seams and a plate to cut around the neckline. Now we wont talk about the length (mmm too short in my opinion)

but hey who needs to measure i just got my scissors and cut. Anyway they had a great day and yesterday we all went to the Valedictory Assembly and shed a few tears and that is the end of one chapter of her life. Now on to new and exciting things.Tomorrow it's Andrews birthday (DH) so Joe and I made him this Chocolate Fudge Cake. You can get the recipe here

It looks pretty much like the picture so i will let you know what it tastes like.
Last but not least are some cards i made with cuts from the Gypsy/Cricut. I challenged myself to use only scraps from my scrap box which wasn't to hard as there are a lot of scraps there.

That's about it for me today it has been an emotional week with Caitlin's last school days and at work we had to prepare for our year 12's leaving as well. Next weekend is Halloween does anyone celebrate Halloween if so what do you actually do? Please let me know.

Have a nice Sunday-we are out to lunch again after cricket that is.xx
