Really, more than one month since my last post. Well it’s definitely not because I have nothing to blog about it’s because I have been so busy, many craft projects in the making and craft news to share. The first one being my first published project and pattern. And it made on the front cover. […]
The Craft and Quilt Fair [Sydney] ran from June 17 – 21. I went along on the Sunday, with my neighbour and also met up with a new craft friend I met at a recent wedding I attended. I didn’t buy much except for some bias binding, loads and loads of metres in various colours […]
I wrote here about the Instagram needle book swap I participated in. In part 2 I wanted to share with you what I received. I was so excited to receive my box – all the way from the USA. It was lovely wrapped with a bright cheery card. The very talented and generous Rochelle made this […]

I have just completed and shipped off my first swap. My swap recipient loves: Pink and Aqua Colourful and Vintage Making Bunting Flags Sewing Craft Anything Handmade So I made her a cosy little needle book – so all her needles would be safe. And it gave me an excuse to crochet my first African flower. This […]
After a great family holiday in Fiji back to reality, routine and blogging. Before we went away I made these hexies following on from this inspiration… I used DMC cotton perle and honestly did not know what they would become. I did want to use this too. One of those things you buy at the […]
I posted a little teaser 2 weeks ago with a photo of some bits from my stash. I have finally completed my little pouch and will drop it off this afternoon – for judging and for the craft exhibition. The little pouch can house an iPad or a book or a notepad or current crochet or […]
This recent little project falls into both categories so I couldn’t decide on the title – plus somewhere in the world it’s still Monday! Well with my new love hexies I stumbled across this pattern through Pinterest of course for 2 crocheted hexies that when sewn together form a cute mini cardigan. I just had to […]
