Progress ! Pictures ! Excitement ! We're all covered in yoghurt !

Okay, you can skip the baby pics if you want, I'll just post this one :

The rest is on my FlickR. The little pirate is starting to really strike a pose for the camera, it's kinda scary...

Did I say I started the caraco ? Oh yes, I probably did ! Here's the back as of tonight, quilted (small pieces are so fast to make !) and sewn together :


And this was the front before I finished the piece on the right :

Both pieces are now done. I've also cut out the lining pieces. I'm going with Janet Arnold for the construction - it makes senses, and it'll give me a nice finish without having to fight with the quilting too much. I'll sew the lining pieces to the center back seam, then assemble the whole lining, and put the outer pieces over that. I probably won't line the sleeves to reduce bulk, same goes for the peplum. I have to take a diabetes test tomorrow morning, which means Ineed to keep myself busy for two hours. I think handsewing will work.

I'll spare you the babble about all the projects I have going on in my head right now. I clearly have too much ambition for the time and energy I have at hand. But at least, making yoghurt isn't that time-consuming, and we all love it. I'll just have to stae, once mor,e that heileen, Lady Darkstone and my Mum all have a bad influence on me :p

ah yes, they start posing for the camera and then you can never get a candid shot, or take a pic of something else. Poor Toadette will have her doting brother in more pictures than is needed.

I'm sure the grandparents will complain a lot... or not ^^
