…project tote…

Sometimes, I think my procrastinating isn’t that bad. Other times, I spend the day we are leaving for a trip sewing and end up forgetting the clothes we planned to wear to a wedding… Once I got my arm twisted and was forced to join in on the current Easter challenge, I looked around my newly-sorted and decluttered craft room, and started wondering where the

…linen travel pouch…

Sometimes, I feel sorry for hackers. Imagine going to all the effort of hacking an insta, and finding you’d gotten lumped with me. If you were to scroll back through my DMs, or not even on insta, but through various chat histories on various platforms, a good portion of the messages are screenshots or shared posts or pinterest pins followed by “we should totally do

…rainbow clutch…

There’s a certain form of conversation that one has with one’s creative enablers, that balances on a knife edge. It could fall either way, but chances are something (or, knowing me, someONE), is likely to get cut… Now that we are out of the baby & toddler stage, I no longer need to cart a heap of stuff with us every time we leave the

…morning stitches – February update…

Despite my good intentions each year, my daily projects often fall by the wayside within a few weeks. This year, however, my morning stitches project is still going strong! This project has been so fun! There have been a minor couple of hiccups – namely, the first two weeks of the year none of my apps offered up min/max data, so I had to manually seek

…diffuser travel case…

There is something enchantingly motivating about a disgustingly spotlessly clean craft room. Nary a loose thread to be seen on the floor, no scraps of paper floating around the desk, exactly zero tails of yarn trailing from the basket on the bottom shelf. So stinkin’ spotless I willingly allowed people in to photograph it to share with strangers. AND, for bonus points, I kept it

…wip wednesday – stash-busting triangle quilt…

There is a certain madness to the creativity inspired by a ridiculously full craft room, that really needs reorganising (again), and a good clean out (again). Last year, I started a 100 days project, but scanning around my craft room, I had lots of unfinished projects that for various reasons wouldn’t work, and lots of little bits and pieces of things that kind of tickled

…cosplay fail…

What is it that they say about roads paved with good intentions? Every project starts with the most fabulous of intentions, and then, somewhere along the way they just pushed aside or stored for later… or sometimes they are just a total fail that I hang on to for far too long. Craft blogging has a tendency to become a showcase of fabulous projects, so

…Puppet Show bloomers + upsizing a pattern…

It is a truth universally acknowlegded, that a mama of a girl in possession of a decent length of leg, must be in want of decent shorts coverage… It’s a pretty common lament, I have found, of mums of girls come summer time, trying to find our little ones shorts that are comfortable, cute and a decent length. Many of us resort to buying shorts

…Kindle Cover 2.0…

Three weeks into September, and we are well and truly in the thick of birthday season. There has been more cake than we are capable of eating. Countdowns and sleepless nights and early mornings and a rolling festival of celebrating our four favourite little people. This year, our beautiful Bear turned 12. TWELVE. I’m not really sure how that happened. He’s at that awkward in

…mini stationery case…

It’s funny, how in my last post I felt like all I was posting was a backlog of challenge projects, and nothing much in the way of real-time, what-I’m-making kind of posts. And then a project falls in my lap and we bust out a project in a morning. So what I had planned to share today, from last week’s craftiness, has instead been bumped

Welcome!

Hi! I'm Rachel. I love making things & experimenting with new techinques & mediums. I am addicted to pretty paper, and make & sell letterpress stationery. Being creative is my sanity break from the rush of life as a wife, and a mother of four. I do a lot of my creating without shoes. This is the story of where my bare feet & creative heart take me.
