Crate and Barrel inspired decorative cushion.
Our visitors have gone up to Sonoma for a couple of days, so it affords me the luxury of a bit of time to finish off some projects that had been languishing mostly complete. One was the cat tags, they just needed me to find where I had hidden the collars, attach them, and then […]
Custom Cat Tags. A belatedly crafted Christmas present for the kitties.
Our cats have been wandering about with quite out of date nametags. They have our old information from the UK on them, and the collars were looking kinda past their best, so I bought them new ones for Christmas………then didn’t do anything with them… Christmas came and went in a whirlwind of…. mainly unpacking, and […]
Painted Stone Pattern Weights
A little while back I made myself some pattern weights out of DIY washers. Love them. However, after using them for a while, a) I lost one (Boo), b) I realised I could do with more. I got the inspiration for these little lovelies from an issue of Crafty Magazine. They used pebbles in a […]
Holiday Pyjamas.
Ever since I saw the post on Did You Make That? about her Christmas PJs. I wanted some new PJs! I wanted to make some new PJs. I was very envious and in want of her material, but alas, not really available. I had no space to make such things in the old place, I also […]
A belated post on bibs….
Way back in November I bought a teeny tiny portable sewing machine. The reason? I had found and bought some cute chick print fabric from Hart’s Fabric, and wanted to make some baby bibs for my friend Pat. We had had a little bib making session together with both my pregnant girlies before we moved […]
A matching horseshoe cable cowl.
Monday was new keys day! Super Exciting! When we get our stuff, that will be even more exciting, but this is exciting nonetheless. Our container has cleared customs #Yeah Customs! #Younailedit! But……………… is now awaiting a delivery slot so we can get it picked up from Oakland, and delivered to our new place……. Bah! Anyhow, […]
Christmas Cake and a Cozy Hat – another finished WIP.
I went for a hike last week, and the weather had turned “California Cold”. I didn’t even own any gloves. Let alone a hat. For the most part of the hike, I didn’t even need my coat. Hiking uphill will do that to you. But once we got to the top? Man it was chilly! […]
Sharky Wristwarmers – an actual finished WIP!
When our friends first booked to come to visit in February, we were still working together, and the one request Colin had was that we go see some sort of sports game. He didn’t really mind what, but not “Soccer” (I am afraid I will still call it football FOREVER), so we looked up the […]
Bicycle Clutch
This little lovely I finished way back before we moved, wrapped it up, and left it with my friend Jemma for her birthday. Scarily organised of me I know. It’s her 30th birthday after all, and while I am no longer present to make her a cake (poor show), I did put in the effort […]
A wirework Ampersand
…or you may know it simply as an “and” sign. We bought some papier mache letters from a craft store a few weeks ago, and after having them for a couple of weeks and doing nothing with them, finally I got some paper, paint, mod podge (matt), and some tools and got on with it! […]
