Mother's Day
May is always a busy month in our household, we have 2 daughters birthdays, 1 Grandad birthday, 1 Nana birthday and of course mother's day which involves several mother's to take into consideration. Whilst I celebrate Mother's Day I find it very hard to please everyone including myself. So this year I have tried to get a little more organised and I actually made my Mother in Law a cute little kitchen wash towel with a teacup applique. I also did a self covered button and my first ever self taught button hole. I am pretty happy with the results, cost was only about $4 NZD and about 2 hours time involved. I think Mum will be happier with this than another quick thoughtless gift that we normally do! Have a great day Toni

Noodlehead Tutorials
I have lots of kid's birthday's coming up and I am fed up with buying crap. The kids come home and say Mum what are you going to buy eg for Jane's birthday, I say I don't I haven't thought about it yet, my dd says because she said that she wants a mushabelly, $20 + a bar chocolate. My mouth is still wide open at the cheek of it. Well I'm thinking no more, I have been searching for cute little gifts that I could sew and I bumped into Noodleheads Tutorial list and found the Gathered Clutch and the little cutie pouch. I have managed to whip up a few this afternoon. Another first for me is the Zips.
