Children must be back at school because today I finally managed to sew new covers for the manky couch I bought online for $100 (+ a trip to Australia for some Ikea fabric). I really am so thrilled with it and of course, can't stop imagining the different crocheted cushions to go with it... maybe I don't need a daughter to dress prettily, just a couple of couches.
The other best bit of today was receiving a parcel from Katy Did Paper Goods. I have such big plans for those straws I can't wait to show you. I am still reeling from the fact that I could buy them online within New Zealand. There was also lots of washi tape - unfortunately I cut it off in the photo - my biggest regret is though, is that I didn't buy the confetti version as well. I now have to find a moment where I can slip the Johnny Joe poster to Hugo without seeing - it does always come out even in the end but sometimes they find it difficult to remember in the heat of the moment.
Sewing is now having a revival in this house, the machine is calling me. Love Kate xxooxxooxx.
