Tenderfeet Stitches - Bow Tie halter dress

I loved this pattern.  It is very pretty made up and very easy to make.  

I thought I would make Maddie (my grand daughter a little Christmas dress).  I don't buy a lot of fabric from Spotlight, I prefer the quilting shops, even though they are a lot more expensive, the fabric is 100 percent cotton and I am not a fan of cotton mix or poplin!  Anyway occasionally they have something I can't resist and this Xmas fabric was one of those.

And of course I think Maddie is gorgeous in it!

This is another little dress I made for Maddie.  

Absolutely love this fabric

It is the Gracie Dress by FemiKids Couture

And here is Maddie wearing her new dress with me

Fair and Square - A Tie Dye Diva Pattern

Oh my goodness, I can't believe I haven't posted in a month.  Too much going on.

 I tried the Tie Dye Diva Pattern and loved the results.  I had bought the pattern and the  fabric ages ago.

This one has the hem band, I made the flower as a brooch so you can wear it on the dress or a headband

And this is the version without the hem band

I love the fabric for this style of dress.

Ruffle back dress - Pattern by FooFoo Threads

This was my first attempt at shirring.  I have always avoided it as it looks so difficult.  

Well I here to tell you it is easy as.

Back ruffles - I added an extra one.

Front is pretty with ruffle on bodice

And of course a matching headband

Lovely Isobel modeled it for me

Isobel loved it so much her mother had to wash the dress

 every evening for 3 nights so Isobel could wear it the next day

Yummy Quinoa Bakes

I have lots of food intolerance's and I work on the road.  So getting something for lunch some days is quite a challenge.

 I made these the other day and they are perfect.  

The base recipe is 1 and 1/2 cups of Quinoa rinsed and cooked

And 6 eggs.

To this you add what ever you like

Spray your muffin pan, add mix and cook in 180 degree oven.

The other great thing about these is they cook fast. 

And they taste great cold.

Next I am going to make bacon, pumpkin and corn

and salmon and asparagus 

Hope you enjoy!
