A Teepee for Ava

One of the best things about being a teacher is school holidays. 

Before Ava came along, I used to look forward to the sleep-ins, days on the couch in front of the telly in my jammies and endless hours of shopping and coffee catch ups. I may not get sleep-ins, but I certainly get to hang about in my jammies, not bother putting on any make-up or do my hair, and the endless hours of TV have been replaced with Giggle and Hoot and Peppa Pig. Holidays certainly aren't what they used to be anymore, but I am so grateful for the extra time that I get to spend with my little Miss, allowing me to feel like a stay-at-home Mummy again. 

...Copycat Geometric Leafy Print

Ok, so I'm a complete copycat! I  have been inspired by these two wonderful posts here and here and decided to have a go myself!

Petal Onesie Tutorial

I've been away at a wedding all weekend so haven't managed to keep up my challenge to the full extent I would have liked! Bummer!! Oh well, I've still been creative thorough it all, thank goodness, I've just been without my craft supplies and sewing machine!

Seeing as I was having withdrawals, as soon as I got home I got straight into this gorgeous little project!

...Metallic Marker Fun!!

I've seen heaps of Sharpie projects on Pinterest of late and have always wanted to give them a go.

They are so quick and easy, and if you happen to have the right markers lying around, plus a few old mugs and bowls, why not have a go at jazzing up some old and unloved pieces!

...Personalised Etched Drinking Glasses

I'm in the middle of a few different projects at the moment-hence the lack of posts for awhile!

...Thrift Shop Purse Revamp

I was out and about opp shopping recently and came across this purse for $1. Pretty cool. It's an old Sportsgirl clutch and it's in my favorite colour! Score!

...Revamped Magazine Holder

I recently went shopping for some new bits and pieces of furniture to spruce up as I was majorly inspired after completing my Stencilled Drawers last week. 

...Button Embellished Blackboard

I bought some chalkboards from Typo a few months ago thinking that I'd be able to jazz them up, but they've been in storage and I've only just managed to get my hands on one!

...Shoe Flowers!

I came accross this cute tutorial on Cluck Cluck Sew and thought they might be nice to jazz up a pair of flats of mine!

...Old Furniture Revamp!

My craft area needs a revamp!

I've been jam packing my craft drawers and they have been overflowing with goodies

 for awhile now, so when I found this set of drawers outside my local Opp Shop I couldn't resist!

...Decorative Button Magnets

My husband bought me a magnetic display board for Christmas with the idea that it would be great for once I have my sewing/crafting area set up once out renovation is complete. At the time I figured I wouldn't be using it for a fair while, but after coming across this project I had to delve into our piles of packing and storage to find it! 

I saw this fantastic tutorial at The DIY Dreamer  and absolutely fell in love!

I've had lots and lots of buttons sitting around my craft station for awhile now, and I've been thinking up creative ways to use them and this tutorial was just perfect!

..Spring Leafy Tree Cushion Tutorial!

I found this gorgeous tutorial on Pinterest and absolutely fell in love. I've been desperate to make it for awhile now and last night just happened to be the right time!

It's a pretty easy little pattern, I'll show you what to do!

...Pretty Pink Teether Bracelet

Here is a spin on the teething necklace I made here!

Same tutorial, only smaller beads and smaller sleeve (about 6cm)

Check out my Beaded Teething Necklace Tutorial for the How-To!

...Pretty beaded teething necklaces

Here is one of the easiest pieces of jewellery you will ever make!

The convenient thing about this very pretty necklace that also doubles as a teething necklace for bubby. If you don't have a bub, though, it can be worn as a pretty accessory with any outfit,  and it won't be covered in saliva. A win for all!

...Taggie Owls

Last night I decided to make a few little Taggie Owls as Ava absolutely adores her taggie blanket that I made here and after seeing this tutorial on Bubbles and Bobbins I was very excited to make one for the Little Miss!

...Heart Birthday Card

Yesterday's task was just a quickie as I'm still sick. Boo!


It was Heath Nanna's birthday yesterday and she had a small gathering last night so i decided to make her a birthday card!

...Stripey Cushion

On Thusday night we went to Ikea and I got so excited seeing how much their fabric department is growing!! You get to cut your own fabric too!!! I felt like my dreams of becoming a Lincraft girl all came true!!

I absolutely fell in love with this stripey material. I think it's the colours, and also the thicker texture of the fabric that makes my mind go crazy with all of the projects I could complete!!

...Teething Taggy Baby Blankey

A lovely Mummy in my Mums group and I were chatting last week about wanting to make taggie teething blankets for our daughters. After our conversation we were both inspired to go to Spotlight and Lincraft to stock up on pretty different textured fabrics to make our projects!

These blankeys can be a comforter, teether, play toy, they can be nice and snuggly like a blankey but also have stimulating additions to keep bubs entertained.

...Love Heart felt brooches

I've had lots of requests and suggestions recently about what my next project should be. Some seem to be a bit of a challenge (thanks Ange!), others really easy.

As I  had really busy day yesterday, plus it was a Sunday night, I decided I'd opt for an easy option!

...Pretty Drink Coasters

Hey all!

Todays project is once again inspired by a few pins I've seen recently and I figured I'd give them a go myself.

These coasters are so cheap and easy to make, a little time consuming, but the finished product of this fun and creative project is totally worthwhile!
