The Birthday Skater Dress!

It was my birthday last Saturday and Husband excelled himself and booked a table at The Dome in Edinburgh. I had heard how amazing it was a Christmas but WOW, I didn't expect it to be this fab!





Anyway, a special place meant the perfect excuse to make a party dress! I spotted this dress in M&S and knew I needed to make one of my own!



I bought 2m of stretch velour on ebay (£5.99 p/m) and whipped up this Lady Skater in a couple of hours.

think I was about to say something...!


The fabric is more of a teal colour in real life but it is the perfect understated party dress (it is stretchy too so may end up as my Christmas Day Dress too!

Going to hit publish now, we have had no consistent internet connection for weeks now so actually being able to publish this will be a miracle!

A day out for Lego Lovers!

I don't normally post about random stuff like days out, maybe I should..., but this was too cool not to share! We went to the Brick Works Lego Exhibition at the Edinburgh Science Festival on Sunday. Big E though he was in heaven!



The Airport was amazing, the detail was incredible.



Big E decided he probably didn't have enough sand coloured lego to built the Great Pyramid...

But we are definitely making this Chess set!


The exhibition is in Riddler's Court, a 400 year old building in the Old Town of Edinburgh.

Riddler's Court in Lego!

The kids have not been in the centre of Edinburgh much even though we are on 20 mins drive away so they still find the buildings and streets 'cool'!





I must take them exploring their city more often.

Back soon with some sewing after I have got over the trauma that was involved...
