How the toothfairy forgot! Opps

Ok so I was so knackered from doing not a lot and the lovely toothfairy forgot to do her job!  So when Kuki woke in the moring his tooth was still in the cup...

mum asked" why do you think the toothfairy didnt show up?"  

Kuki answered "um cause I had my eyes open all night to see her!" 

Mum replys "well thats no good, maybe we put the tooth back in your room and see if she will visit you this morning while your busy doing things!"

Kuki replys "ok mum that sounds good, I'll cross my fingers!"

So yay the toothfairy arrived and sneakyly placed $2 in the cup and made off with the tooth!  PHEW, another disaster averted!

So today I will be trying to make up some lovely derby goodness in the way of Bootie Patootie shorts!
Have a good one!

Something quick for my boys!

So I've had these frames from Ikea hanging around for a little while...I ripped off the plastic as it had torn from use and decided to make up my own bag and sewed it around the frame.  Fitting theme for a family of ocean going pirates!! LOL

Nice n quick!!
Cheers

WELCOME to Evil Little Things Blog!

Hello and welcome to the ELT blog, My name is tankabell and I own Evil Little Things based in Western Australia, I have decided to do this blog because I find at times FB can be quite impersonal, I would love to get to know people and for them to get to know me!

I'm finally happy to find there are more people out there like me, a little bit evil ...but in a good way!  I have a passion for the ocean, skulls and lots of things pirate like.... the only thought I can come up with to explain the skull and pirate love is that in a past life I was a pirate and sailed the open ocean looking for treasure!  ahhhhaaarrrrrr!!

I love roller derby, used to play which explains the name Tankabell but now live so far from my league that I cant go to training or games But I do still support the League, skate and train by myself in my teeni tiny remote town which is cool!  ...I miss it so much, the grrls are great, the guys are Zebras LOL and game is THE fastest growing contact sport in the WORLD and probably the best of all WE GET TO HIT EACH OTHER FOR FUN!!! :D

I hope to share with you some of my projects and give you options to create these things at home!  If I find a great pattern on my favourite shopping site "Etsy" I will let you know!  Maybe I could start up a creative competition...that would be fun!!  I love to help those who get into a sewing/patterning rut and this is my profession so I have lots of handy tips but I also love to hear new tips from others also. We all have our ways and it would be great to share.

Anyway better get back to it, hope you like the blog and visit often!
