• Upcycling – Kids Stool from a spindle

  As you well know I have been known to stumble across a lot of (what many would refer to as ‘junk’) items for my up-cycling projects from the footpath. I stooped to a new low for this one. They were found in the skip at our block, where the builders toss all their house building…

• Homemade Sausage rolls

  When you’re little you dream about being famous for something…. dancing, ballet, horse riding. I never thought I would be famous (well amongst my friends – does that count?) for making sausage rolls. I don’t know when it all started, but over about 15 years I have developed a little bit of notoriety for my…

• Sewing (more) things

  In follow-up to my previous post Sewing Things… I have added a few more items to my list of things I have made with my machine. I can safely say I am getting back into the swing of sewing again after 20 years away from a machine.

• Healthy homemade muesli bars (or bites)

  

  I was waiting at the local child and maternal health centre for Heidi’s check-up and noticed great poster on the wall; it was comparing the cost, sugar and fat content of kids lunch/snack options: Piece of fruit vs. roll-up Yoghurt vs. flavoured milk dessert A packet of chips vs. popcorn Homemade muffin/muesli bar vs packaged…

• Heidi’s Nursery – an eclectic crafty heaven…

  Heidi’s nursery (whilst temporary) is quickly filling with amazing hand made items, and gifts – making it feel more like home for her. Knowing that we will be moving in a few months (when our new home is built), I didn’t spend a lot of time decorating her nursery… a) because I will be packing…

• Upcycling – old book pages for a bunting

  I love old books and magazines – it’s our history documented. They should not be kept in the back of the attic, or discarded – we should be reminded of our past, and how things used to be. I have a collection of old magazines and books from various places… I don’t go specifically looking…
