where I stand {this week}

            This week has been a quiet one – two very sick little boys wanting their mama around has left me with very limited crafting time – or time for anything really. I have almost finished a cowl. I have started making notes for a potential market stall. I’ve started a design commission, and a lettering commission […]

this week {Blogtoberfest day 12}

Back to school this week and it hasn’t taken long to get back in routine again, and sneak some crafting time in amongst the weekly goings on. How’s your week been?   {UPDATE – for some reason, this didn’t post as scheduled. I swear I didn’t miss a day!! I think my WP app is buggy}

  This scrapbook layout caught my eye on Pinterest. These words are resonating at the moment – expect to see them pop up in something for the toyroom in the very near future. Sometimes we can overthink the things we need to keep our kids entertained, so I loved this list of simple travelling activities which is all about K.I.S.S. […]

It’s been a week of revolving projects across the table. My mum very kindly took the children for me on Friday for the express purpose of sewing some clothes for them, so I made a good start on a dress for Butterfly. This week I’m also over at And Sew We Craft again, this time sharing a step-by-step for how […]

  This week? It was a good one. A balanced one. A creative one. Elsewhere, I was posting on And Sew We Craft, and made a vlog recording for posterity how epicly I fail at crocheting properly so need to make up a stitch. I have been contemplating getting myself a 6×8″ Project Life album as a “just for me” […]

The ripple and cross-stitch are both plodding along nicely. It’s been a nice balance this week. I’ve found myself lost in the archives of the Shutter Sisters online […]

I got some awesome new boots this week, so with some pretty camel yarn to hand, I’m hooking up these sweet boot cuffs this weekend. On the subject of yarn, I’ve spent too long looking at yarn colours for that granny ripple I linked last week (spoiler alert, I’ve picked 23 and I’m just waiting for the craft budget to refresh at the end of the month to […]

Happy mothers day! I’m having a lovely day and being very spoilt by my family. I hope you are too. Some stuff I found & enjoyed while surfing around the place this week trying to beat the post-camp blues: I disovered Bible journalling and was so inspired I went and ordered this cutie for the children to give me for mothers […]

{follow me on instagram} I feel like I’ve been chasing my tail all week, and not getting very far, but I’ve more than made up for it this weekend with nothing more to do than hangout with good friends and make pretty things. Things I’m loving this week: This post on creativity really resonated with me It’s suddenly turned cold […]
