Wrapping up

Yes, I am the worst blogger in history! I am slowly losing this blog I think and probably also running out of excuses of not updating.I am slowly putting everything together for our trip next week, I am psyched! I know when everything is done, I will be glad to be home too. We found out it will be in the teens when we arrive in Ottawa so its nice, then its rain, rain and more rain..yuck! But I’ll take that over the -30C windchill we had today, its crazy. Nevermind the cab that takes us to the playgroup took forever to come and I was waiting outside with the 3 kids and they were NOT HAPPY. Speaking of playgroup, they had a Halloween party which was nice. Ava was suppose to be snow white but she wanted to put on just her costume and no layers, so I cant let her leave the house in just that so she settled for this heart top I sewed for her a while back. Ben was “tigger” and my daycare kid was a poodle. it was cute! But here are mine

And though we have a TON of snow, its been too cold for the kids to play outside. I know by the time I get them to a spot, they will want to get back home. So I thought I brought the snow to them..sounds crazy I know. But we already have some snow on the balcony and I went outside and got more. And they had tons of fun, though it was only 10 minutes and they want to get inside but still it was nice.

And I have to show this pretty jacket I sewed for Ava a week back, its cute! Its useless for here now but will be great for Ottawa and will be great when its end of spring here. She really likes it. For those who wants to know the pattern, its from ottobre 4/2009 (sparrow coat in 98cm). The fabric was pre-embroidered nylon, love it! so sad I cant find more of it.

Back to trip talk, its actually more expensive to fly from here to Ottawa than from Arviat to Winnipeg. So I am pretty proud that I got all 3 of us on aeroplan, phew! So its not as bad. The only bad part is we are flying separately which kinda sucks but I guess its better than paying $5000 for all of our tickets! So bags are packed and we are ready to go!

  2. Have a great time and don’t spend too much money on fabric!

  4. Great job on the Sparrow coat. Ben in his white fur hood is so adorable I just want to squeeze him…which he would probably find strange since he has never met me and then I would forever been known as the creepy lady….

  5. I see that red nose in the second photo! Poor thing! The jacket you made is just precious. I’m going to show it to my sister for her youngest, but you’re right…the fabric is beautiful. And I’m not sure she’d be able to duplicate that.

    Have a safe and fun trip!
