I just wanted to pop in and let you know this... If I don't manage to get here again before Christmas, I would like to say that I hope you all have a safe and happy Christmas and delightful New Year! I have been granted a few moments of time to throw together some little Christmas decos and placemats this afternoon which I...

A friend of mine in Tassie (and one of her friends) put together a Photo Challenge for the month of November. I thought that I would give it a go. So I grabbed Mr POC ("Plain Old Camera") and started snapping. I thought I would share a couple of my favourite shots...  ^Black & White  ^Shallow Depth of Field  ^Spring ^Sun Flare This...

I am joining in with Janelle Wind's Thrifty Thursday tradition with a post of my own about some fab finds I came across at my local op-shop. I don't get to visit the op shops around here as often as I would like due to distance issues. My 'very' local op shop is 40 mins away which is good but I still haven't had...

I couldn't leave these on the shelf for some reason. I think it was just because they look so different to other shoes I've seen on the shop shelves before.They do fit me (a little tight in the toe area but not too bad) - whether I wear them much I don't know. They were only 4 bucks so I'm not too worried....

I am totally addicted to visiting op shops.And it seems it is a more 'husband friendly' shopping option in that you don't seem to get the normal roll of the eyes or wary look as to how much you are going to spend cos he knows that it is bargain shopping. I could come out with a bag full of stuff and only...

Mini Crocheted HeartsThis year, at pretty much the last minute, I had a sparkly idea to make a bunch of these cute little things for my mother and mother-in-law for their Mothers Day gifts this year. I had never made them before but had the pattern printed off from one of my favourite crochet blogs, Attic 24.After the first one, I steadily completed...

My first stitchery.I decided to do this while back in Tassie when I found an A3-ish size photoframe broken in one of the storage boxes! "What's a photo frame got to do with a stichery?" you may ask!Well...The glass may have been broken but the frame and backing was still fine and dandy. I thought I would stitch up a groovy picture and...

Yeah, so this has been a work in progress for a few years now.I started this baby blanket when I was pregnant with little Sprout and now that I am pregnant with little Jitterbug, I thought I would get it back out and I am DETERMINED to get it finished so I can use it for this one as I am not sure...

I was flicking through a 'Get Creative' mag the other week and come across a page I had doggy eared when I had first browsed the mag. It was for an easy kids beanie. As I have been looking for some easy baby knitting projects, I thought I would give it a try. This was my practice round...^I made a newborn size. This...

Yay, I have a FINISHED OBJECT.This knitted strip was one I found in my stash back in Tassie while cleaning out our storage container. I had started this when I was about 12 years old and it was going to be a knitted coathanger cover. The pattern had a little hat that you knitted to put on the hook. It was quite cute...

This was a result of being sidetracked! You see, I initially went into the shop to get some wool for a different project but couldn't find what I was after (in my budget anyway) - but I did see this wool and think, "Hmmm...that is a nice neutral colour to crochet a granny blankie for my new little wee one that is coming!"...

I thought that I would show a few of my Works in Progress(considering I can't seem to get time to finish them at this point in time).At least you can see what I like to do and what I get up to.^While back in Tassie, I went to a workshop at the local scrapbook shop that I visited frequently while living over there....

I had an idea in my head of how to make a tote bag and I wanted to make one for Hubby's sister-in-law for Christmas. I chose this lovely lime green and pink printed fabric out of a scrap stash that I got sent to me with some other online fabric purchases yonky donks ago. I just bought some lime green fabric for...

As promised, the first of some things I have made lately.Well, this project actually started at the beginning of 2010. I have always wanted to get into making our own clothes - well at least for my kids. So this was the first of my garment sewing endeavours. It began as a birthday dress for little Sprout but ended up being her Christmas...
