Do you have a craft cupboard? In our house we have a nice old cupboard in which we store all our craft supplies. All the bits of fabric that I have (which, surprisingly, is not that much), sewing supplies, paint, glue, and the odds and ends left over from the various crafts I have dabbled in over…

A Crochet Star Garland
I’ve been busy crocheting again. After my globetrotter blanket, I wanted something a little smaller to work on in my spare moments. I had pinned some crochet stars on Pinterest, so thought I would have a go at making some into a star garland. For me, half the fun of crochet is fiddling around to work out…
A Crochet Globetrotter Blanket
I’ve finally finished the crochet blanket that I have been working on for the last few months.

Paper Christmas Baubles
Over the weekend we went to the Murrumbateman field days. Basically it is a couple of fields covered in tents selling all kinds of farm related stuff. Country Boy was in heaven checking out night vision scopes for his gun, and then new guns to go with the night vision scope. As a dutiful wife…
{DIY Gifts} Reindeer Noses
Both Hannah and Meg are keen to give a small gift to their various friends at school. I am keen to do something that doesn’t involve either candy canes (which my girls don’t like) or too much effort. I was flicking through pinterest when I saw these: image credit I thought how cute and easy….
