| I've missed our little rascal! |

| And the big rascal... |
Erm, yes darling, I have missed you but it has been lovely watching what I want on the tv, eating what I want, sewing at the drop of a hat (6am anyone?!) and the house has stayed tidy! Sometimes it's good to have a break from each other isn't it? We lived in our own homes as singletons for years so sometimes we just get on top of each other - his flying "stuff" gets on my nerves, and I know my very important sewing room drives him bonkers when I'm in creative mode (no, it's not a mess - ever).
Here's what I have been working on during March. It's about to go to my customer so I can share it with you now.
It's the first tutu I have made and I'm happy with it. It is simply decorated because she is such a tiny little thing so we didn't want her to be overpowered by it. The most costly aspect of a tutu is time - hand pleating and sewing on sequins - two of my favorite things!

The leg casings and the straps will be tried and finished on the dancer when we meet, and it needs a good steam so the tutu isn't so "bongy" (that's a technical term I made up!)
If you like tutu's take a look at Tutu.com the work there is amazing.
Happy Tuesday all
