Hey how are you? Im well, so hot here in Melbourne, trying to stay cool. Yesterday I parked myself inside and made this little guy.
He is a she. Poppy for Audrey and Maude, Im yet to make any puppies, but i will as I think my #3 would love them all for christmas. This fellow is for my girlfriend who is giving birth any day now, so I was thinking of making matching bib with applique of the dog and burp cloth. Don't know the sex of the baby so I tried to keep it neutral, although may be if it is a girl I may add a pink dog collar.
I went to the local thrift store this morning as my boy was begging me to go to Savers, but I just couldn't be stuffed driving there in the hot Venga Bus (Thats what the kids call my tarago). Ive crated a thrift store junkie now that Riley knows they sell toy cars! Slim pickings today. I did pick up this sweet and very loved apron.
It has the cutest stitching on the edges. I wish my machine had cute stitches. Don't know what I'II do with it as I don't ware them.
With this heat I thought Id make myself a sun hat. I found a Pattern in Stitch magazine, love that mag.
Im always telling the kiddo's to put on their hat, so I should too. Im thinking linen and vintage sheets.
My poor man, has to fast from lunch today till tomorrow 3pm when he goes in for day surgery. Only fluids... Im making ravioli for dinner, Not Mr Monty's favorite dinner so he doesn't have to suffer, although I think just the smell of dinner is going to be hard. Talk about the pits!
On a good note Tilly has been taking her first tentative steps, not walking fully but is attempting to!
Still a bit of a way off, she will be 15 months at the end of november. Late walker like her big sister!

The doggy sure is cute. Good luck with the hat, should be very nice and so appropriate for this summer which we are having already.

Poppy looks ready to be loved but don't youy think she might miss her puppies? And yes about needing a hat. It is a little hard to tell the kids to wear one when you're not! Line and vintage sheets sounds good.
Ohhhh for first steps. When they are not walking, it's hard to believe they will ever run. Then when they are running, it's hard to believe they once couldn't!
