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!

Anne with an E
This was a bit of a fun project for me, a little Anne of Green Gables crochet friend. The hat comes off, and there's a little green bow on it too. She looks great next to the two AoGG editions I own, and the pattern certainly captures her well. The pattern came from this book I… Continue reading Anne with an E
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
The Return of the Blogger
Hello again! I'm back from hiatus, with a completed crochet wreath to show you all. I actually started this prior to the hiatus, and only had one or two more flowers to make before it was finished. I was finally able to make the last flowers this weekend. I scavenged the flower patterns from a… Continue reading The Return of the Blogger
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
Sweet Key Chains
I finished this little key chain this morning, and I do think it's very sweet. (Hehe! I had to.) It's on one of those horrible split rings that break your nails when you try to open them, however this one wasn't that bad, probably because it's new. It was a freebie with my latest Mollie Makes… Continue reading Sweet Key Chains
Night Triumphant
I love churning these little badges out, they're so quick and satisfying to make. This one is also inspired by a Sarah J Maas series. I wanted a different coloured background, so I painted this corner of the fabric before tracing the design onto it. If you look carefully, you can see the pencil marks… Continue reading Night Triumphant
Finishing Experiments
I finished another of the little circular badges today, and this one is inspired by the Throne of Glass series by Sarah J Maas. The antlers are in green because green is one of the official colours for Terrasen, which is the country where the main character is from in the book. I used a different technique… Continue reading Finishing Experiments
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
The Empty Cup
Do you remember the page in my ideas book that had all those badge/button designs? I recently finished making the first one! I'm experimenting with how I'm going to secure the muslin fronts to the felt backing, and this is one option. Pros include that I know the muslin won't come off because it's not… Continue reading The Empty Cup
