I love showcasing my parents work. Self taught and self motivated, their labours of love are pretty amazing. After so many visits to the miniature and dolls house exhibition, my dad thought there are all sorts of mini shops but he had never seen modern fast food outlets. He therefore endeavoured to replicate McDonald’s, Hungry […]
During my recent post about the quilts at the Craft and Quilt Fair I promised you a bit more. I thought these reminders to respect the quilts were just the best. No-one has a problem showing respect when you are asked in these ways…. Maybe I should make one of these to teach my little […]
I bought these cute embossing folders at the show recently and of course needed an excuse to try them out. A couple of weeks back my son received a huge bundle of Wiggle’s gear, T-shirt, back pack, books, DVDs and puzzles from a family friend’s son [who is a big boy now ;)]. I wanted […]
I couldn’t go by another Monday without some mini stuff. This is from the 2011 Miniature and Dolls’ House Exhibition, a macrame owl, embroidery, long stitch, cross stitch and the cutest mini cushions. Have a fabulous week. It’s cold, wet and dreary here in Sydney but our garden is happy.
I hope you can forgive me – Miniature Monday didn’t happen this week. A bit too hectic to say the least, I am sure you can relate. Well I am back to share some eye candy from the Craft & Quilt Fair that I attended on Saturday. Maybe they were jumping out at me but […]
I have been going to this fair for years but will enjoy it slightly differently,now that I have discovered hexies. Am looking forward to being inspired, collecting ideas and tips and buying a few goodies too. I am going tomorrow. I’ll be back to share with you my goodies. If you are in Sydney, it’s on […]
This cushion cover was on display at this year’s Miniature and Dolls’ House exhibition. I spoke to the lady who coordinated the cover. She said it was a collaborative effort between all the ladies in her miniature class/group. Each little square represented their other passions aside from miniatures, i.e. knitting, cross stitch, sewing, bags and […]
I am Pinterest-aholic, yes I am addicted. I love wasting spending time looking at all the wonderful pins. I can safely say that I do marvel at the pins but also make some too. The ones I pin on my ‘must make’ board do eventually materialise. Like this one, I saw it and thought I MUST […]
This is the first shop my parents made. My dad made the shop, the shell if you like and my mum made all the hats and bags. No, not all as I did contribute with the odd bag or two. My dad painted the shop, wallpapered the inside and even made the benches outside. The […]
