Yes - in between puking, complaining and a reasonable amount of self-pity, I have been busy. And it is a gift - for everyone! I created this sweet little skirt...
and here is another...
It is the Miffy Twirly Whirly Apron Skirty. Sizes 1 - 6. And I have written it as the first of the Made by Miffy Shareware series. So, it is here for you to make for your own little one or make them to sell! And if you sell them - I wish you lots of success! I want to see my shareware series as a deposit in my karma bank. And with that spirit in mind if you would like to pass on the karma, I am suggesting a $1 donation to Montrose where Darcy receives her therapies. (Last year - Darc and I were interviewed and appeared in their corporate video) But if you can't - that is fine too - these are tough times. Just try to pass on some goodness to someone else in your own way soon. Cool huh?
One thing though, I do want to see everyone's creations - so I set up the Miffys Twirly Whirly Apron Skirty group on Flickr for you to upload your photos for everyone to see. It might be a good place to get colour combo inspirations too.
Here it is as a download for you. This is heaps of fun for me - I hope for you too. I can't wait to do this again!
EDITED TO ADD:
Timing is everything they say. When reading the Montrose Newsletter today, we discovered that they have partenered with a site so people can set up their own fundraising campaign. So I set my own up and you can donate to Montrose directly from Miffys World - in the sidebar on the left side. And we can all see how much I can raise. Supercool. So - download and share this with your friends!
Oh, that's so nice of you! The little skirt is darling. :) Unfortunately, the link doesn't work.
My DD would look precious in one. BTW, shout out to her. LOL! Her b-day is 5/23 and she'll be 4. She's my miracle baby cause she wasn't supposed to make to 1YO.

Thanks so much for the lovely pattern! I hope your daughter's getting better. Down in Melbourne we've had an outbreak of the chuckies too. My littlest still has it if we let her eat too much dinner and I know it's affected friends at church and kinder too. So, sympathies from me (and a bunch of Melbourne mums) big time.
