Pureprofile

You know how you hear about all those 'online survey' things where you supposedly get paid to answer questions? Well I've joined a WHOLE stack of them over the last few years to see which ones are worth anything. Of the many that I joined, only 2 have been worth my time, and one of those moreso than the other. Emailcash (which I think is now called reward central or something) is the one I've seen the most advertising for, and sure enough it really does pay real money for fairly simple things like web clicks. The issue I have with them is that unless you jump through rings they don't like to pay directly into an account.

Pure Profile, on the other hand, are fantastic. They send regular emails to tell me about surveys, which are generally short and easy, and pay up to a few dollars each. Then there's a whole bunch of web clicks you can get 10 - 15 cents for each, and when you want the money it's a simple matter of telling them which bank account to put it into. I got $40 into my account a few days ago, and already have another $5 built up on pure profile.

Anyway, I thought I'd add a referal link to it here, just in case anyone is interested in joining but hasn't been sure which ones are worth the time. So give it a go!

The dress fits!

Remember those first few dresses I did months ago? Well none of them fit because I measured my daughter while she was sleeping, so just went half way around and then doubled it. lol, thankfully they were too big not to small, so she's just now fitting into them! Anyway, finally, here's a fitting action shot or 2!

And more...

And some more, because apparently I can only add 5 per post.

Woops!

Okay, so a month and a half since my last post is pathetically slack, I know. Done heaps of crap since then, so I'll just overload the blog with pics tonight, eh?

Yay! New stuff!

Finally have some stuff done for Tiffy! Good thing too, given that she's 38 weeks today! Anyhow, here goes:

Wetbag, Wipes case and changemat:


































Matching small MCN and Newborn-ish sized kimono:










































Teddy bears for Coya and Ari:
































Plus a trial skirt I did a few nights ago for Addi. Didn't have any real idea of what I was doing, so kinda just made it up as I went. LOTS of things to change for next time, but it's all good. lol.

New and improved dress

It's been ages since I posted anything here, but after a holiday, a tummy bug, a baby with a tummy bug, a sister with a nasty virus who needed the house silent, and then a teething baby who is prone to frequent wakings because of her blocked nose, tonight I was FINALLY able to sit down and do a little sewing. So I made another summer dress for A-Train, but this time changed a few parts of my design. I added a belt (which is sewn in place so doesn't actually work) and fully lined it so the skirt would have a little more body to it. As always, learned a few things for next time, but I'm fairly happy with it given how those small things managed to change the entire design, so I was basically starting all over again. Anyway, here it is.

Wool dying

I dyed some wool tonight. Disgusting colours, but I'm happy with it. I knew it would look gross because I used the food dye we happened to have in the cupboard, just so I could see if I would be bothered doing it again! I enjoyed it, so I think I'll fork out for some proper dyes. But yeah, here it is!
