{Point & Shoot} Making Headbands

By ⋅ January 30, 2012 ⋅ 2 comments

Yesterday I felt bored and unsettled, unproductive and lazy. Yuk. I knew the only way the remedy the situation was to make a list of things to do, get off my butt and do them. So I re-potted a plant, I baked some brownies, sewed some nappy boosters, and started making headbands for next weekends [...]

{Link Love} The month that was

By ⋅ January 27, 2012 ⋅ One comment

Over at Creative Collective the lovely ladies are asking us to show our highlights from January. “What was it that really got you excited this month? What inspired you? Did you start anything creative? Have you got any creative goals for February?” My answer is, a dangerous new hobby. Scrap booking. *cue dun dun dun [...]

Crafternoon Tea Party

By ⋅ January 20, 2012 ⋅ 5 comments

Last weekend I invited some of my favourite people over to have an afternoon of playing ladies and a bit of crafting. I made scones and brownies, and put out Tim-Tams and Shortbread Creams, and had about 10 different varieties of Tea to choose from. We sat and chatted and played with the babies (Beck [...]

DIY Chalkboard Don’t Forget List

By ⋅ January 16, 2012 ⋅ 2 comments

Over a few days last week I finally got around to doing something with a gold picture frame (op-shop find) I had lying around the house (forEVER). After the dog and husband had knocked it over several times and scared the bejeebus out of me, I decided I had to do something with it. Prompted [...]

New Crafty Toy & Project Life!

By ⋅ January 11, 2012 ⋅ 5 comments

Because the Christmas Markets last month went so well for me, I treated myself to a brand-spanking-new Silhouette Cameo cutting machine. This thing is AMAZING. Think laser cutter, but for paper, cardboard, vinyl etc. It has a tiny blade, and will cut your designs from the computer. These are really popular among scrapbookers, but my [...]

My First Christmas Ginger(Vanilla)bread House

By ⋅ December 23, 2011 ⋅ One comment

Last week I went to a new friend’s house (Rachel – Orange Whisk) with some other lovely handmade friends (Stacey – Cheeky Textiles & Jenny – Posie Patchwork) for a Gingerbread house decorating party! I’ve never done a gingerbread house before, because I really dislike Gingerbread. Luckily for me though, Rachel was kind enough to [...]

{DIY} Fancy Handmade Burp Cloths

By ⋅ September 15, 2011 ⋅ One comment

I had a day of movie watching and sewing today, it was lovely. I’ve been told by many mums that the old cloth nappies are fantastic for just about everything when you have a baby (wiping up messes, shielding yourself from rogue weeing, using as burp cloths and the like), and I was lucky enough [...]
