Wolves

Well the wolf costumes (from the book 'Where the Wild Things Are')arrived in South Africa and the boys loved them, apparently they were all going out with friends for dinner and the boys had to wear them even though it is summer in SA!

Wolves and Stuff

We have had some beautiful weather over the past week, on Friday we had friends visiting and went out to Ashridge, we found a new walk with some lovely fir trees. We then had lunch at the Ivinghoe Tea Rooms, the weather was so good that we were able to sit outside to eat.

I got the 'Max' costumes finished and posted to South Africa, the photo isnt that good so hopefully I will get some of them being worn to post soon. Now I am about to start working on a baby quilt, I will pobably use the cream coloured fabric below and then use the coloured fabric for another baby quilt which I will need to make by September.

Where The Wild Things Are

A couple of weeks ago my daughter in South Africa asked if I would make her boys a Max costume each. Max is a the boy from the book 'Where The Wild Things Are' who likes to wear a wolf costume. Well I have never made a wolf costume and couldnt find a pattern. So I copied a pattern for an all in one suit from my pattern book, 'Little Clothes for Little People' and bought some grey fleece and zips. We will have to wait and see what they turn out like. I have added a photo of the boys with their Daddy at a butterfly farm where there was also some little monkeys. The boys were told by the man not to touch so as you can see Daddy is holding Jesse's hands and Joe has put his behind his back to stop himself from being tempted!
