My little boy’s favourite Disney movie has been Dumbo for quite a while.
So I recently set about finding some elephant patterns.
I started with the Audrey and Maude Edward pattern and some fabric from Amite that I picked up at the latest Brisbane Creative Living craft fair.
He turned out very cute. Susie played a big [...]

Lucky me is on holidays (for another 4 days). We went to Alexandra Headlands for a week, which is just over an hours drive. It was nice to get away to the beach and we enjoyed some sunny days.
We had a great time.
And after a visit to Eumundi Markets and our favourite costume stall [...]

Mid summer was very hot here in Brisbane and I was inspired to make my little girl some simple cotton dresses. I got some cheap cotton from spotlight.
I trawled through sewingpatterns.com for what seemed like hours and settled on NEWLOOK 6504

I have had this wee wonderfuls pattern for ages and thought I would give it a go. This is Olive from the Make-along series.
She has proper “bottom” and [...]

I haven’t done anything “new” quilting wise in a long time. The last couple of quilts I have made were very project orientated. Meaning the focus was more on the end result rather than the process. I am a process kind-a-gal.
So when scouring the net for something interesting I came across [...]

I have been wanting to make the kids some dress up dolls for a long time. I was following the progress of Hillary’s “kit, chole and louise” from wee wonderfuls and immediately bought the pattern when it came up for sale.
Meet Jack and Jill.
Obviously they are still a work in progress and don’t even [...]

I am a big fan of Bendigo Woolen Mills yarn. You can buy it online, it is cheap, they have a great fiber range and lots of colours to choose from. Their service is excellent, the wool is of the highest quality and did I mention that it is so reasonably priced (CHEAP). [...]

I don’t think that I would call this afghan “exquisite”, it just happens to be the name of the pattern by Terry Kimbrough that I made for Sheridan aka Chalet Girl.
When I first learned that Sheridan was going through IVF again I decided to begin a crochet afghan for the new baby. I chose to [...]

My little girl has a thing for dresses at the moment. She basically has to wear one every day. Scouring etsy for some suitable patterns I came across a home grown (aussie) designer Toni and make it perfect patterns. Here is her etsy store and her blog.
