What. A. Year. I didn’t quite know, back in January, exactly how much DIVE would come to mean to me. I took it literally. I found so many opportunities to DIVE into projects and down rabbit holes. Most notably, in 2021, I decided to DIVE into a podcast idea that has existed in some format since April 2019, and took […]
Happy Christmas Eve, friends! We made it! With all the everything going on, it hasn’t been quite the fun, relaxed lead up I’d planned at the start of the month, but life is like that. We are well and healthy, Christmas is back on track after a negative test for one of the main players of the day, and once […]
Twas two days before Christmas, and all through the house…this crafter was laughing at the very lofty ambition to stitch 12 gnomes in 24 days. Possibly, if it was the only thing I had to do. But there have been outfits to sew and biscuits to bake and rocky road to make and kid craft to manage and blog posts […]
Four sleeps to go, and around here, we are full steam ahead on the Christmas gift crafting train! One of our favourite things to make for various grandparents & great-grandparents, is a baked goodies hamper. Like most of us, they don’t need, or even particularly want, anything, but we still want to give them something. This year, their box of […]
It is a family favourite part of the festive season, the weekend before Christmas, we get takeaway, have a picnic in the park, and then head off to do the rounds of town to check out the lights. We often also treat the children to some lollies, but this year, I decided to make them some trail mix. They love […]
How are we at the point of the FINAL Sunday Snippets for the year?? 2020 might have been three centuries long, but 2021 feels like it has been about three minutes long! Saturday Night Craft Along is now in hiatus for the year. The podcast is done and dusted until January. School is out. The days are hot and steamy, […]
It’s an annual occurance. The tree comes out, the kids go nuts getting it up and decorated, the lights twinkle away, and it’s my turn – the Annual Barefoot Museum of Christmas Crafts gets installed. With that done, I do a walk through to determine how many bare walls and corners remain, and start adding ideas to our Advent activity […]
Back in November, I promised myself I would be good. I saw all these amazing advent calendars, and I tried to resist. I really did. Then the unboxing videos started, and the FOMO set it. Past me had made a terrible life choice. Thankfully, one of the calendars had been on my list opened up a final round of parcels, […]
It’s become a bit of a tradition, once Sunday afternoon hits, and all the jobs have been done for the weekend. Or as many of the jobs as are going to get done, anyway. Mr Barefoot blows in through the front door, does a cursory check that I’m not knee deep in parenting or housewife or otherwise occupied with something […]
I love a good printable. I do not love fussy cutting, especially since my good sharp pointed paper scissors have disappeared. I love die cuts and ephemera. I do not love the international shipping costs that are required to get most of them in my hot little hands. I do, however, have a cricut and a healthy sense of adventure. […]
