Test run

I have just downloaded blogpress on my phone. This blog post is a test run.



I have the crochet bug at the moment. It's amazing how accomplished to feel when you finish a little granny square.

Get Organized

Just a little new year tidying of my sewing room (lord knows it needed it). 

Family Holiday Fun

 

above are some photos of the kids undertaking their Christmas holiday activities. (Mum didn't seem to get many of her projects/activities done during this time!!!)

Christmas for Teachers

 This year I made notebook covers and christmas ornaments as gifts for my boy's school teachers.  The ornaments are made from cornflower & bi-carb soda and were so much fun to make (miss "E" and I made quite a big mess)

In the shop

 

 

 

I have just added these little "Garden Skirts" to my Made It shop.

They are made from a natural coloured hankie linen and have a vintage fabric and doily patch on the front.

Wow!

Guess who won the Lark Blog Blogthday giveaway?


I did! -Yay!

Thank you to Allison from Larkmade.com.au for not only choosing my name out of the hat but also for being such an inspiring lady. Allison has turned her love of craft and handmade into a beautiful little business. I love reading the Lark blog; it's full of vintage goodness, handmade lovelies, op shop finds and lots, lots more

Maybe one day her and I could catch up over a glass of wine (or maybe a bottle) and some lovely cheese and chat about all things nice, including my love for Cath Kidston! (I don't even know Allison, so this is very presumptuous of me!) But if she is ever in my little part of the world maybe she might take me up on my offer!

I will post photos of my goodie bag when I have it in my hot little hands.

Thank you again Allison

Upcycle - Recycle - Have Fun

 

 

 

I am having a wonderful time creating these little upcyled dresses at the moment.  They will soon be for sale in my made it shop.
