The truth is, I'm meant to be on a bit of a self imposed creative break this week.
I'm trying to spend every available moment doing this,
But the girls are home from school, (they have dentist appointments later on), and they have been spending the morning playing with fabric scraps.
They have been working so nicely together to make a bus for Jazzy's rock family. Pepper has been supplying the soundtrack by singing 'the wheels on the bus' over and over all morning.
So what's a girl to do?I just had to have another go at the silly billy dress!
I hope you are having a creative Thursday. To check out what the others are up to click on over to Kootoyoo.
The rock family is ace! I'm thrilled you're revisiting the silly billy dress - I think it has loads of potential.
ReplyDeletePS: so glad the banana bread is a hit at your place. We love it here too.
Hey sweetie, looks like a nice way to spend a cooler, rainy-ish day. Good luck at El Dentisto! xo
ReplyDeleteThat rock family is just the best. Love them! I'm also pleased about the return of the silly billy dress, it's name in itself it just so wonderful!XO
ReplyDeletei liked your silly billy dress!
ReplyDeleteyour cottons and cooking are looking very tempting! sounds like the girls are having fun too :)
I suddenly have an irrational need (well, I am 38) to have a rock family happening in this neck of the woods. Seriously cool stuff (and I'm a bit envious if that is a meringue in the making)...
ReplyDeleteMaking cakes looks suitable creative to me ... and better yet you can eat it when it's finished. Now ... how to angle an invite or at the least a piece of the action! LOL
ReplyDeleteWell it all looks VERY creative to me! You just give right in there Kate! You've got to grab these moments when you can right? Hmmm, might go and grab one now myself!
ReplyDeleteHope the dentist went ok ;)
that rock family rocks my world. enjoy the break but it looks to me like you're still living very creatively. xo.
ReplyDeleteWhy is it that whenever we don't have time, that's when the creative drive becomes completely impossible to ignore??
ReplyDeleteFingers and toes the silly billy dress is less silly xx And I hope you still call it silly billy even when it isn't!
ReplyDeleteVery cute and creative play. Love the 'bus' trip xox
you are quite amazing Kate! always so much going on ~ you are very inspiring.
ReplyDeleteand on a side note, isn't it lovely when children work together towards a common goal without it all ending in tears!
What's a girls to do? Give in to the urge & have fun with it I say! Looks like a great day...at least until the dentist, I guess...
ReplyDeleteLooks like a wonderfully creative day. The cooking looks oh so yummy. Have a great day on Sunday at the market.:)
ReplyDeleteYou must adore creating yumminess in a harmonious home environment with your girls. I particularly love "the wheels on the bus" I much prefer that as a soundtrack to "Bob the builder......".
ReplyDeleteOh what a gorgeous rock family! And yay for the return of the silly billy dress. What a creative family!
ReplyDeleteSophie x
I love your silly billy dresses, such a great idea.
ReplyDeleteCheck your email for a special message about how your silly billy dresses could travel overseas...
dentist - I really need to go. how old are you suppose to take yur children? what age?? Does anybody know??
ReplyDeleteand I agree with Kirsty the silly billy dress is worth another crack.
Oh Kate - you are amazing! I would have ripped that silly billy dress to shreds in anger and frustration - you are a true inspiration! it is a gorgeous vintage sheet though, would be a shame to waste it. Bless your darling pepper for trying it on and even posing for the camera in it - what a lovely daughter you have. Also, I love her name!
ReplyDeleteThanks for leaving such a kind comment on my blog too, I'm ever so chuffed I left a good first impression on you! I've been reading your blog for ages and think you're quite a wonder woman *blushes*
I hope you crack the Silly billy dress!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post - I loved reading it! It's great to meet someone else who 'compulsively crafts/creates' - I feel so much better in my muddle today! The 'rock family' are super cute :)
ReplyDeleteVeryy cool rock family!
ReplyDeleteI also just took another look at your silly billy dress post - cracks me up every time. LOVE IT!
I agree - you have to sew when the moment calls you. I love that dress fabric... good luck with the fix-up. K
ReplyDeleteLove the rock family. Cooking, sewing, crafting, it all fits under the creative label so just enjoy yourself!
ReplyDeleteAll the best with the silly billy dress... looking forward to the tutorial once you've ironed out the kinks.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing what the little girls were playing with and creating! Even the sound track was included! thank you for a happy scene!
ReplyDeleteThank you! This is such a beautiful blog. I love it. You portray such a lovely image of motherhood and creativity. I can't wait to see your next post.
ReplyDeleteWhen the creative juices are flowing just go with it!
ReplyDeleteGee....can't wait to see this one!!!
ReplyDeleteOh well. You were meant to be creating on creative space day, it seems! I loved the silly billy result. It fits and everything!
ReplyDeleteLooking good at your place - the jam looks sublime and glad to see the dress is no longer silly! Nic
