Charlotte and I are taking 2 of her friends to the movies on Friday for her birthday so I made this little drawstring bags to put some goodies in. Hopefully the girls will be able to re-use them for their school readers this year as they need a bag this year.
Lucy's moving from child care to pre-school this year and she needs a library bag so the one on the right is for her. The other one is a new library bag for Charlotte as the one she has used for the last 2 years was looking very tired.

Thanks so much for reading my blog throughout 2009. I don't know what 2010 will hold although it will involve getting fit, hopefully. I'm feeling in a bit of a rut about sewing to sell at the moment and am thoroughly enjoying just sewing for pleasure. I'm not sure what that will mean for me but I will still definitely be sewing and crafting through 2010.
I didn't get a chance to make the girls Christmas outfits so here they are in their New Year outfits. 
We had a fantastic Christmas this year. Lucy was really into it and kept running around asking when Santa was coming and squealed with delight when she opened every present. The girls got mainly small things this year, Santa trawled Ebay for vintage Polly Pocket which they loved, some lego, board games, books.
After I dropped a lot of hints Jeff got me a Wii which I really didn't think he would do, so needless to say it has been getting a workout.
I hope you and yours had a great day too. We're off here for a couple of days to see the Christmas lights. See you soon.
Not that you can see it that well but Charlotte is wearing The Wrap Skirt from Wink Designs. 
Had to add these in as my blog is my home page and I don't want a pair of sneaky eyes spying my purchases.
First up some wash clothes, these are going to my brother-in-law and his partner wrapped around some soaps from Bec. They are very environmentally friendly so I also got them some toothbrushes from here. The girls are getting a mini one wrapped around 2 lovely Belle & Boo soaps from Lark (I wish I had been closer to go to the sample sale).
The these great crowns from Cam. Charlotte already has a cape but I am hoping to get time to whip Lucy up one.
These Belle & Boo prints picked up at Finders Keepers.
And lastly I have become a bit of a madwoman on Ebay lately purchasinf vintage Polly Pockets for the girls. We had a couple already and I went a bit overboard but I just showed Jeff and he thought they were great. I'm going to make up a play mat for them to go on.

They also got their photo taken with Santa so I we will bypass the Santa photo this year.
We then headed in to Circular Quay to go on a Captain Cook Coffee cruise that Jeff and I won at a charity event at the races a few months ago. 
The weather was great and the girls enjoyed themselves pointing out all the lovely boats and nice houses lining the harbour.
Now I don't think mine were as good as Bianca's but the girls gobbled them down and I even got a "they were lovely" from Jeff, high praise indeed. So if you get a chance make yourself a batch, you'll be off the store bought ones forever.
She'd dressed her in some of the clothes from her Ruby doll she got from Jodie and they fit perfectly. There is now and order in for more clothes. Looks like I'll be sewing tiny little dresses this weekend.
You are funny and fiesty.
You love dancing, reading and you can't wait to be able to write letters. One of your favourite things to ask is "how do you write a insert any letter of the alphabet".
You love playing with dolls, pretend cooking and you absolutely love playing in sand.
You love your big sister and she certainly loves you (well most of the time!)
Happy Birthday gorgeous girl.
If you need some cuteness in your house head over here, it's full of gorgeousness.
I especially love this one. We love corny jokes in our house.
