Well this is a craft that my parents got me into. Almost 14 years almost to the day my husband and I left for a holiday to India. It was a great holiday, exploring Indian food, sights and colour. My husband was able to organise through a contact for us to visit the cockpit and […]
It starts off as a papier mache project. Building up the layers. Painting. Decorating. Fill with sweets and treats. Beaten to smithereens. The party favourite, the piñata. My parents and I have made several piñatas in the past. I will try and dig up some photos of the earlier creations. Lately they have been made by my dad. […]
In addition to my love of making cards, I love to wrap my presents beautifully. My BFF loves cooking and cookbooks. So I made a little garland of cookbooks. I cut them out from a bookstore catalogue, glued them on chipboard and filed them to have rounded corners. I joined them by sticking them onto […]
OK, so another post about owls but hey they are utterly cute, to me anyway. I came across Josephine Wu’s creation on Pinterest and just had to try it out. Six tiny owls from one ball of yarn and quite quick to make, so very satisfying. As I didn’t have white felt I used one of […]
As promised I completed my hole-y hoot family. Four little owls are possible from one holey pair of socks, so I created nuclear family. It turns out 2 of the sock sections were larger than the other two, so these became ma and pa, the other two the pigeon pair. I have them sitting just […]
Well it is no secret that I LOVE crochet. For awhile there it was not fashionable to admit to this but I now, it’s common knowledge. I remember making a huge granny square blanket when I was 6 or 7. Sitting on the floor of the lounge room, the square getting bigger and bigger on […]
Here is a card I made a long time ago. I didn’t have a digital camera back then so had to ask for it back from the recipient to take some photos. It was for my BFF who is mad about cooking. So I thought these little kitchen utensils would be perfect. I made the […]
As I mentioned in my previous owl post, they are very trendy at the moment. The hole-y hoot family is coming along and will have photos shortly of the nuclear family but in the meantime wanted to share with you some owls that have come to visit. Along with red and teal, owls was the […]
I have been making cards for such a long time I can’t even remember how it all began. Suffice to say I can’t remember when the last time was that I bought one. I think I like cardmaking so much because really you can put anything on card. You can incorporate any other craft when […]
Well that wasn’t too bad, I took the plunge and it wasn’t so scary after all. Here I am back again, with another post. Another thing that’s popular [I think] are owls, they are everywhere. So what do you make with socks that you can’t wear anymore because of all the holes, owls of course. […]
