When I was young I lived in a cardboard box and had to play with toilet rolls inners.......



I am not sure that these actually count as crafts, but hey. We upgraded Nate's house to include solar- powered l.e.d.s - as you can see that was highly exciting. And made some bowling cats from toilet rolls.

Rugrats And Sleevypants

Bathmat made from cut up tshirts - 50 cents per bag of tees from Hospice shop. And the sleeves have been made into pants! Using this tute: http://indietutes.blogspot.co.nz/2009/11/sleevy-pants.html

Trains, Planes and Automobiles....

Sorry for the terrible ipad quality of the photos. Here is the train - book bunting, 3D star and Beano bird bunting (on the wall) made to liven up Nathaniel's room.


Stop Making That Racket!

Long time no post! Here is a wall decoration made from embroidery thread and an old tennis racquet.

I'm loving angels in bed

Third installment of the Knitivity.  Very exciting that the bebe Jesus will be arriving soon.  After the donkey (or dunkey). Angel Gabriel.  He's multicoloured under that robe.  This knitivity will be diverse.

Sitting on my bed.  I didn't make his hair.

Mat, hat and tat

Tat
Christmas gifts for other people made from the kindness of my heart.  Hat for baby Bella, her and her mum now have matching ones.  Mat for my mum, I liked this pattern but didn't like how it turned out.  Tat / bracelet for my friend Sarah Puppy (her of pudding hat fame), this is made with silver, silk thread and vintage beads.

Flegg avec pom pom

Hello sweets!  New year, new blogging resolutions...

It's been about nine years since I made anything but I am back!  First example above.  I began making some presents and soon gave up on that and started making selfish things instead.  I saw a girl wearing a hat like that and realised that if I wanted one, I'd have to knit it myself.  The pom pom was long and I did not enjoy making it.  I think I might look a bit nuts in it but I love it.  Have also just made one in grey and green as well.  Can't get enough.

This is just the beginning...
