Julip: March 2012
http://julipbyjaninepeck.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, March 24, 2012. Hi, Miss Ruby! I've named all my tap shoes after my favourite (female) tap dancers. This one's for Ruby Keeler. Best known for the Busby Berkeley. Spectacular, 42nd Street. And here are some I prepared earlier. Scuse the dodgy photoshop job hiding all the toys/mess in the background. This is the base model of my range, and will look so pretty in all the leathers I've got. especially the silver sparkly faux crocodile. Or my old favourite. Monday, March 19, 2012. The idea is that ...

Julip: February 2012

Sunday, February 5, 2012. The weather. Holy moley. What a day. It was stinking hot inside (we only have air-con in one room. and not the one we were all in), the windows started to leak with all the rain that was pelting down, and my poor Fudgey man had to barbecue in the deluge. What a trooper. My mum's family are sooo awesome, they were all completely calm and happy despite the weather dramas, everyone pitched in and helped out and I think they all had a good time. Had me. I had admired this bag. Elise...

Julip: December 2011

Thursday, December 8, 2011. It's taken nearly two and a half years, but at last my Ellie. Shoes have gone from this. Most excited to have finally finished them. I think I made just about every mistake and broke every rule getting the soles and heels on these, due to a combination of being out of practise, laziness and lack of necessary equipment/patience. In some ways I'm very glad I did - it has been a while since I've soled any shoes so it was a great refresher course in what NOT to do. I am a shoemake...

Sunday, September 25, 2011. There was a park. Lovely family and friends. Lots of yummy things to eat. A special turtle cake to match a special present. A second turtle cake for a cousin who was seven the next day. And a very happy icing smeared birthday girl. Happy first birthday gorgeous Beanie baby, we love you xx. Wednesday, September 21, 2011. Despite that, what's been happening? Along with some crocheted hats (pattern found here. An owl stuffed toy is in progress. A first excursion to the zoo. And o...

Julip: July 2012
http://julipbyjaninepeck.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 25, 2012. Please excuse the yawning. I've been a nervous wreck with worry and am sooo sleep deprived. Thankfully, for the moment, apart from a cold, Bean is much better. Fudge is home, day care attendance has resumed, and I am s-l-o-w-l-y catching up on sleep. And somehow, in amongst it all, I've managed to finish another three pairs of shoes! I still can't quite understand how. I did it, but I did. I have proof. Three pairs worth of shoes type proof. Miss Jane's try-on Miss Eleanors.
