Very Small Feet

I always enjoyed making things... No matter what, earrings, clothes (skits and bags mainly), I'd like to think that I have this craftiness from my gran and perhaps mom. But mother mainly knits and crochets, I'm more of sewing and other DIY kind of gal.  So after watching tons of DIY videos on YouTube, I finally managed to learn about jump rings and now I can use them properly.  The cute poison bottles went to Sarah and I made little gun earrings which I gave to Rhian. However these skulls things, look a bit to white... Need some more work to them. Speaking of giving gifts, I also made a hair band for Rhian, since she is so fond of them. It was super easy to do... Ribbon came as a free gift with my Cloth Magazine . By the way this is one very inspirational mag, love it!   So measure your head, and mark the ribbon length accordingly. I left approximately an inch on each side, so I would have some space to make litt...

I was tidying my makeup bag... the lovely yellow and black Luella make up bag by the way:) And I found some unused lipsticks... Sometime you think colour would be great on you, or some one gives you one, so I had quiet few of these. It is such a shame just to throw them away, waste! So I thought to make a colour I might actually like. It is very simple! I referred to Queen of Crafts book Great book by the way, very inspirational with a lot of useful information. Not like some of the crafts book that just look great, but have no use. I actually find my self referring to it every now and then, Jazz Domino Holly is one expert crafter and you of course can get this book on  Amazon So what I did: -few old (unused and unloved in my case) lippies -vaseline (we been gifted a massive tab some time ago) -heat proof bowl  -pan with hot/boiling water The heat from the water will warm up the bowl where I placed cuts off...

When I went to see my friend Charl  to model for her  she gave me leaving present.  I didn't know I had one:)  I love it! Husband loves it! These guys are just too cute!  Thank babes x So she did say that it would have been super cool to have one of them in 3D.... Well... Here to please really... So Charlotte when are we meeting next so I can give you this dude?  But then again, if there is something being made another hand-made thing is coming too... Took me absolute forever to remember how to do this, but I think results it great! Must make some more... Would you buy them? I think I can take my Esty shopping into selling... 

And whatever hubby says there is always food in the fridge. Just have to make it! First I made a green soup few days back... Took some lovely broccoli  with some strange triangle like veg (also like broccoli) that I got in my weekly veg delivery form lovely people at  Riverford ! Great service by the way!  So I took an onion (also from my veg delivery), some garlic and sweated them together in our shiny pot, seasoned them too. Peeled and chopped a medium size potato and kept on stirring these guys in the pot, then added the green things:) Add the stock in. I simply used the chicken stock cube, simmer all these veggies till tatoes are soft. To make it extra nice I have blended it in our blender... oh it was not a margarita but still delicious!  I did not add any cream, butter or Stilton...it would have been nice, I am staying good... more or less:)  However hubby did bring some nice artisan bread with s...

Well this post will be about crafting mainly....  My work had a staff party on Monday, the theme was Casino Royal... hens boys dressed in suits and girls in pretty dresses.  I really did not feel like going to getting a new dress, besides what would be the odds to come in to the party and some one else has the same dress. I would have been mortified. So I thought I'd wear a suit. Hubby said "NO woman wear a dress!" friend Viera said "But you have so many beautiful vintage dresses"... Oh yes, I do have tons of unique vintage pieces obtained on ebay. But I don't fit in most of them... or so I though...  I got this lilac beauty by accident.. well it's ebay it happens! But I could never zip it up. And for 2 years it just stayed in the wardrobe... The belt and hem need fixing and I just need an occasion to wear it to!  But for this even I needed something less romantic...  I bought an emerald green strapless dress... it was f...

When I was little mum use to knit a lot of my clothes, I was head to toe in knitted goodies. People even used to joke that she knitted me too... Later she decided that knitting was boring and stopped... now she's crocheting like crazy. She made us a beautiful blanket to cover the bed... the only problem with it is the bright yellow colour... I never liked knitting, takes too long and looks so complicated, however I always wanted to learn... So I choose easier way of making something from yarn... crocheting! Last time I was off I made this blanket for us Hubby has some reservations against it... looks too much like a "Granny". Well yeah, it's a giant granny square! And it couldn't be easier to make!  This pattern is stolen  from here  but mother taught me how!  And now I finally finished the baby boy blanket... it took me so long to make, but it was so easy in the end when I got into my crocheting zone... I actually need to be in...
