still about...

...just suffering earthquake brain as my dear mama describes it.
Our home is in Lyttelton, the epicentre of the Feb 22nd shake. We havent slept in our own beds since the night before and I don't think we will again...in that house anyway. But we are all safe and well and staying with family out near Rangiora, its an upheaval for everyone in so many ways.
But tis not all doom as having live in babysitters has allowed me some sewing time!
I've sewn some darling vintage dresses, wee patch pants and a kimono style pj top and have more to come.
If you lovelies have an idea for a bloggy giveaway do let me know and I'll get onto something soon. I'm also  up for some custom sewing and have winter wears in mind for small chaps and lasses.
I have a sweet blokey Scrabbit here to auction to raise funds for Chch. I need to look into what is setup to help displaced and abandoned pets as there are so many and its heartbreaking. I will direct the $ raised towards that cause.
Jolly dial up hasn't been conducive to blogging and running my facebook giveaway last week had me feeling dialup rage as I tried to load things...hence such a length of locket quiteness on here *blush*

Bye for now, shall be back soon with photos!
Take care out there xx

giveaway time..

well very nearly! 

Don't forget to tell your friends about locket on facebook because once we hit 100 likes I'm going to be giving away a................scrabbity!

or scrabbit...heehee cos his name seems to have been evolving!

wounded balloons

are pretty unfun....so keep your short stuff happy with one of these...

I've just introduced a new, small size to locket's menagerie so take a look on Felt and if you're my first Felty purchaser you'll get a perk...a small custom ball for free! Wowsers you say? well quick then, run.

Here they are (held in my hands) aren't they so darn cute and weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee?

I've had a busy week sewing up some rad gift sets for 5 new mamas, better not out who for until I get the ok ;)
Heres a wee example of a taggy and bandito bib set, running out the door pics on a bright day:

I think I'll list some on Felt soon.

shakey wakey

Today we had another 5.1 shake. I'm not happy. I specifically went to bed early last night *shakes fist* and  that bed threw me out again at 6am. Well not out as such, I sat bolt upright waiting for the screams to sound from the offspring. Didn't take long for the almost 2 year old to hurl his distaste for a shaking cot, out into the world. But the tween was completely oblivious and slept in till 10am...noice for him.

I love self portraits

I take a few of them I think. Theres mostly a child with me, otherwise I'd barely get to be in any pics!  Oh thats a lie, on our walk the other day my partner took some of me and littlest.
A little indulgent but we all age change so fast! Watch my mullet grow...go.
This one makes me laugh aloud...every...time...I...see...it. The child supermaning with goodness knows what, me looking horsily adoringly at the child... Ahhh yes.

T'was in the letterbox this morn, discovered on our way to the Farmers Market.....
