Writing wrongs starting with- "The List"

Hey Everybody! (haha i sound like that guy on the Simpsons),

Anyway, how's it going? And before i write anything else that might be remotely interesting... WOW, i nearly gave up on this thing! Well I thought that nobody would read this blog or ever drop by but apparently you lot love random colourful (not a spelling mistake, i'm aussie ) which makes me happy! And craft, of course :) Well it's time to write some wrong and go in a forward ,not stagnant, motion as it's been quite a while *ahem two years* since i wrote here. Well, well, well lets start with my list of things that I will be doing AND completing by the end of this year and the beginning of next that will all be captured in this blog. And an exciting note that I want to make is i'm going to make everything, that is crafts/projects, as cheap and Eco friendly as i can as i hate wasting things and I believe when i reuse something instead of throwing it out, I find that i'm more creative as i have something to work with.

So... Things to do/ make/ create/ find:


1. CHRISTMAS!!!!- I will share with you my journey towards creating a homemade Christmas. Last year I wanted to do this but didn't have time now I do. My adventure will include:
                   *Making all my Christmas gifts. Tutorials included
                   *Christmas gift wrapping ideas
                   *Christmas decorations and bits and pieces that make the days to Christmas and the day itself
                    special.

2. Granny Flat- Or studio if thats what you call it. Well I have a separated room at the back of my house and    it's been a junk room but i'm finally getting rid of stuff and clearing it out. Sooooo, i am going to take you on my little venture of transforming the space into a room as a retreat/ guest room/ kids space/ craft spot which is definitely. BUT BEST OF ALL is that I am going to try and recycle, reuse, redecorate most of the things that will be going in there. YAY! I am ubber excited because this is my chance to finally do a project that is substantial and that can be enjoyed by everybody.

3. Photos- I really want to take better photos for this blog. I looked at the some of the photos I had uploaded and cringed but in a way it is a good thing as i can only improve from here.


And Last but DEFINITELY not the least

4. Li- My little sister is quite literally my world. I love her to bits and i have various projects that i want to make for her. Most projects i do will be able adapted for a boy and i will probably be making some for brother as well. I want my sister to have what I dreamed of having because I was too young to make somethings and sadly didn't have an older sibling to help me out.


Yes it does sound like a lot. A lot but this is my new beginning and I'm not one to follow by book and go with a new years resolution as they have never really worked for me. I'm very happy and lots to do in the next few months and it will only get busier. But i like busy, busy is fun and keeps me entertained as i get bored easily which can be a bad thing at times :)


See ya soon,

This is what I've been up to lately....

So its the holidays on my side of the world and I've had some time to do some craft. This first is a message board that I bought. It was black and had the same criss-cross white ribbon. I thought it looked a bit bland for my room so I slid in some of my own fabric. And here it is-

 Yeah I do like vintage looking fabric.

 I had this old wooden frame, dark grey paint and a colour printer. Which then magically turned into this. I just love the Kimmidoll collection and I thought i would jus print images from the internet. Well I like it and it didn't coast me a thing!

 Seeing as I'm showing all my craft I thought I'd put up this dress as well. This was sewn by me a few years ago. The dress is made from a re-printed pattern that originally came from  the 1950s. I love the 1950s Fashion for its elegance.
 This dress is a black polyester satin dress that I made this year. I love this dress because it's strapless and the sweet heart shaped bodice.
 Just a close-up of the flower.

















I made this skirt a month ago. The material is cotton and the waistband is black elastic.
