Daffy Duck on a dirty weekend calls hotel reception and asks for a condom.
The receptionist says, shall I put them on your bill?


Daffy replies...

Mother/daughter time - art


My 8 year old daughter and I have started to include a special time each week with just each other ( with a house full of boys, its hard) and we have been doing some paintings together....its such fun working on something together and even though our paintings are a bit quirky and weird sometimes, we just love to embellish a bit, lol I think they turn out pretty good :)
I think the best part is learning how to mix the paint to make different colors and using glitter glue is such girly fun too!

Cloth pad stocks....

I have shifted around my cloth pad stocks so now both of my cloth pad shops are stocked aswell as my website of course!
Check them out

Platinum Angelz- Welcome

Finally getting this blog up and running as a place to share my numerous self designed patterns and my projects along the way as well as news about my store in stocks!


See my cloth pads at:

I just love to add new yarns of varying textures and types to my stash and always experiment with yarn in a pattern. My fabric stash is inspired by bright colours and cute pieces that are inspiring and unique!
All patterns on my blog have been designed by me straight from my pretty head, lol and I put emphasis on easy, simple patterns even a beginner can master but yet which produces a polished piece.


ENJOY!
Warmly

New pads I've bought......



And here are the recent additions to my pad stash....I've added these photos to my previous post too if you wanted to see my whole collection in a group :P see here http://platinumbabiesknitandcrochet.blogspot.com/2009/05/my-personal-pad-stash.html

The bottom two in the second pic are my new pocket pads...they come with inserts that you pop into the back of the pad. I have thin inserts which are great for liner use and I got two more thicker inserts custom done by Autumn (secretnerdbrigade) for use as a regular flow pad!

And what have I been up to????

Well not sewing :(
We moved house a while ago and it has been a long process trying to get everything into its place...I still have a spare room filled with boxes and just general crap really. We have also signed the messy house pledge on Oprah.com......
'From this day forward, I commit to myself, my home
and my family to a clutter-free and organized life'.
It is amazing how much stuff we have yet don't use or even intend to use, I got the shock of my life trying to pack up our home of many years, its just stuff.
So its time to move forward and clear out our life! So far we have donated 8 garbage bags and three boxes of stuff to goodwill and guess what I even went thru my fabric collection :P and cleared out all the pieces I haven't used in like years, lol

I also have to get a move on and list some more of my crocheted stuff on etsy considering it has been getting alot of views and a big sale.....I have so many cute dresses to list aswell as headbands and hats etc
