A Creation a Week for a Year: No.8

This isn't really a fully fledged 'creation' this week as our household has been sick with a ruddy old cold so it has been impossible to do anything!


But here goes... this week I found an old skirt in my fabric box that I was keeping for the denim. I lopped off the bottom, sewed around the hem and frayed the edge. I then chucked it in the wash so that the fraying would fray more and look good... and that's pretty much it.

Plus I had fun taking this photo and making it pretty :-)

Since having Zoe, I have lost heaps of weight and going shopping only 3 months after her birth was a mistake. I don't fit any of those clothes I bought anymore! I'm kinda pissed but kinda happy as I'll have to go and buy some replacements in a size smaller. I'm the smallest I've been in forever, as I'm usually a good 8kg heavier. **insert smug emoticon here** eeeee!

struggling with a cold here too... Hate those summer colds, as it feels so much worse with the mugginess of Auckland weather!

Love the skirt. :)
