It may be a little early to decorate for Christmas for some, but not me! In addition to the wreaths and tinsel on the stables, I also put some plushies I made last year on my door handle... ...as well as replacing the garland on the door. The miniature wreath is there because I haven't… Continue reading Early? Nah!

Summer Bunting
Even though summer in Australia doesn't start until December, I thought I'd make the final of Sarah's seasonal buntings. I wanted to really capture the beach in the colours, which I think I did pretty well. You can see it in the living room above the fireplace, looking snazzy. All four seasons: spring to winter… Continue reading Summer Bunting
A Short Hiatus
As you can probably see by the picture, my family and I are moving house very soon. This does mean that I won't be blogging for a few weeks, as all my crafting things are packed away in boxes, ready for the move. I'll probably still be hanging around, answering comments when I can, but… Continue reading A Short Hiatus
Let There Be Light
I finished painting a pair of lampposts recently, despite a bucketload of rain pouring down outside, which is definitely a miracle. The original tutorial for these used a white table tennis ball on top for the light, but I don't own any table tennis equipment, so I had to improvise. These lights are balled-up tissue… Continue reading Let There Be Light
Contrasting Shorts
While I was making the flowery shirt not long ago, I had the idea to use the same fabric to make a pair of summer shorts, as Sarah only had one denim pair for all of summer. They're a little longer than the denim pair, to give her options. We have a bougainvillea vine in… Continue reading Contrasting Shorts
The Smell of Old Books
These were once origami books I made forever ago, and I decided to give them a new life and cover them so they looked old, like the sort of book that's found in the depths of an ancient library and holds important, plot-progressing information. Most of them are just Hogwarts textbooks, though, as they'll go… Continue reading The Smell of Old Books
Project Roundup
These felt flowers came in a Mollie Makes freebie, and they're meant to go on a wreath. However, I want to make a mandala to go into the plastic ring provided instead, so suggestions for what I could do with them are much appreciated! The red one is a poppy, the pink one is a peony… Continue reading Project Roundup
Flower Power
The print of Sarah's shirt is very fitting, considering that it's spring where I live at the moment. It closes with the usual Velcro at the back. Sarah has quite a few shirts, actually. Do you have a favourite? I quite like the flowery blouse at the top, and the Captain America shield in the… Continue reading Flower Power
Watch the Spikes
These little succulents may just be the smallest things I've ever crocheted. The two on the outside are your classic, spiky, flowering cacti, and the centre one is a succulent. Isn't the little flower bud just adorable? All the pots were made and painted for these plants. The succulent was meant to look like the… Continue reading Watch the Spikes
More Variety
To add to the variety I was aiming to get into Sarah's selection of pants, I also made this pair. This fabric is stretchy, so they have a slimmer fit, especially around the ankles. The elastic band at the top is wider than the other pair, not that it really matters. They're great for seeing… Continue reading More Variety
