We had a great Stitch n' Bitch meeting last night. Rhiannon brought along chocolate and berry muffins, Lissy made these (peppermint melting moments):
But it wasn't all about the food (believe it or not!) I got some sewing done for once, finishing off my latest market things: teeny baby shoes. I think of them as my 'Fiona Apple shoes' because I listened to Fiona Apple almost contantly while making them. I love her music so much. Do you want to see them?
I've made about six pairs now, they're quite fiddly, especially sewing the sole pieces onto the upper. But so much fun choosing the fabrics! This pattern takes only the tiniest of scraps, so I've been able to use up lots of lovely fabrics that I only had a tiny amount of. And they're reversible. It's taken me a really long time to work out the pattern, with a lot of frustrations involved. And now I have to get the sizing right for the next size up (these ones are teeny-tiny). I hope to post it here soon!
Also last night, my very oldest friend Anna-Louise called from London, where she and her husband live now. I loved hearing about her recent trip to Italy, where she visited all those beautiful Giotto frescoes and ate the best Italian food. (Can you tell I'm a little jealous?) It was so great to hear her voice again, I haven't seen her since I was lucky enough to be a bridesmaid at her wedding almost a year ago now! Hope you're having fun at Roots Manuva, A.L!!

So beautiful, those booties! May I be one of your many admirers to ask if you have a pattern for them? I'm making a set of booties for my own little girl and for a friend who is having twins, and I'd love to try your design. Thanks--and thanks for the beautiful blog.

Hi! I came from Soulemama's blog too.
The shoes are sooo cute. I hope you will post the pattern before my wee one grow up too much to wear them! I would love to sew him some pairs.
I must now browse your entire blog...
I wish you a creative and happy year 2006. | |

Oh my. Those COOKIES!!! Yum! And the shoes are yummy too. Can you share where the pattern is from? Or is it your own design? They're so sweet, but I can see how fiddling with the soles could be a pain. | |

AND big congratulations to Tom on the publication of his book! It looks grand. Also I neglected to mention your baby clothes in the list of reasons why you are clever - they too are sensational ox | |

Hey darlin,
Just wanted to let you know that you are very very clever, the shoes are adorable, that bag fabulous, the blog an addiction that must be sated daily.
Craig says can you please take down the link to his blog as sadly he has no time to tend to it and make it grow, he also sends his love.
As for me i am slowly plotting starting one, for now reading others is enough but joining in seems more fun.
Much love to you and Tom and Arlo and Keira Fern, I miss you lots! ox | |
