Who doesn’t all love handmade dolls. Seriously who doesn’t covert those amazing Waldorf and OOAK dolls on Etsy and Felt. We have big doll lovers in this home. So when Lisa told me she was working on a very special project. A vintage style doll that can be sewn at home, by a mama….
Read moreTie Dying Craft
I will confess right off the bat that Ive never tie dyed anything before. I may have done something as a young child with a t-shirt and crushed blueberries thats the extent of my experience. I bought this kit and some thrifted white bed sheets and a ruffled edged white pillow slip as I have…
Read moreAlba by VioletteFieldThreads
I bough this pattern in the black friday sale. Ive umm’d and ahh’d over it for a while. But at nearly half price it was rude not to buy it! I made this little dress up over an evening, less than 3h from start to finish. Super simple but I think super stylish. I adore…
Read moreMaking and Baking
Since coming home from our wonderful break away in Oz we have been busy settling back into our rhythms and routines. Baking muffins (pear and chic chip, delicious! Kind of used this recipe) A little light romper suit that was a last minute make before the holiday. Super easy pattern but so versatile. Breathe and…
Read moreThe Anna Capelet by Big Little
When Lisa from Big Little asked for testers for an adorable caplet I just had to put my hand up and say yes. Actually it went more like .. “yes .. yes, me …. pick me, pick me” with much virtual handwaving, like an over enthusiastic primary schooler. Since I didn’t have all the required extras…

Modified Lazy Susan by Brownie Goose (haha again, yes I know I make this pattern obsessively, but damn is so versatile) – I wanted a faux cap sleeve so I altered the pattern over the shoulder a little. Love how it came out. I think there will be more of these in my future. The…
Read moreSome Crafting and a Giveaway
We have been doing lots of crafty bits this holiday. There has been a real change in madam being able to actively participate in making things, rather than watching and occasionally helping me. The letters we bought from the DIY store, just card letters, I cut up coloured tissue and left her to it with…

Little notes from our days Some crafting, a top and shorts have made there way through the cut and sew process. The top is a Brownie Goose mash up, I altered the shoulder/sleeves a little. And the shorts are the Little Big Pixie Shorts pattern that I tested. Love them as they come together so…

I finished Madams ‘Cushy Cardi’. It only took me a couple of evenings of pretty full on crocheting. It was simple, easy to follow and I really like how it looks. Don’t look to close as there are a host of mishaps and wonky bits, and some spur of the moment improv – since I…
Read morePixie Pants
I was incredibly excited when Lisa from Big Little asked for pattern testers recently. I have a few of her patterns already and love them. I was even more delighted when I discovered the pattern I would be testing was for the Pixie Pants and shorts. The pattern that Lisa has created is great. Pretty much…
