What a very wet weekend we just had her in Jimboomba.  I thought the poor dogs where going to float away in their dog house if it didn’t let up.  A few road closures around the area but nothing major.

I have been working on a few Bunny Beanies for Easter.  I thought I might do something different this time and add a bit of fabric to the ears.  What do you think?

                      

I tried one on Ethan to see how the ears would sit.  Yep he wasn’t very happy with mummy, not even a biscuit would make him happy lol!

I also finished a new hand sanitiser and dummy pouch set that I will be selling on Made It:

 

I finally got through all the blog posts that I have been following. I had 1000+ and must admit I had to mark a few as read as it was going to take forever. 

But I still managed to checkout all the lovely things you have been making:

  

 

           

  

1. Love the fabric Kassie from Mommy to a little lady{bug} has used to make these cute toddler boots
2. I wish I was using my sewing machine more when the girl’s were little.  I just love the little crochet flower added to these adorable shoes by Somewhere in the Middle
3. I so have to make one of these little guys.  Loving this little birdy by PaperTurtle. The pattern is free from Lion Brand
4. Little Stitches for Little Ones by Amy Butler is a must have on my book list.  It has inspired Zween, a blog about making and sharing to use these gorgeous vintage fabric to make a changing pad.
5. Found this great tutorial over at The Mother Huddle. This would be a great project for a young girl to make. 
6. Who Doesn’t love Dr Seuss.  I remember my Dad taking me to the library when I was little and borrowing out Dr Seuss books.  I have bought the whole collection for my girls.  Will have make these great hats by Kitchen Fun with my 3 sons.
7. What a great way to brighten up a plain dress. Tutorial is found over at Show, Tell, Share…
8. OMG how cute are these.  I had a similar pattern I came up with for a pair of sandals my niece use to where that looked like these.  Just loving Crochet Dreamz work.
9. I bought some lovely pre cut squares from Little Starfish Fabrics that I hoping to make into my very first quilt. Love the gorgeous fabric JAQS studio has used in this one.
10. And last but not least, I have seen a few things that Scrabble squares have been made out of but never coasters.  What a great idea.  You can find the tutorial over at Pops and Podge.

Well I have a few things that I should be doing and the Little Man is wanting mummy’s undivided attention so must dash.

Have a great week and I look forward to seeing what you have all been up to next week.

Have a lovely day!

Wow had a very busy weekend with family.  We celebrated my nephew’s 2nd birthday and and managed to convince Daddy to go shopping over the weekend.  It was  a hot one.

I was hoping to get my accessory feet for my overlocker this week that have been on order since I bought my machine over 3 weeks ago. It came with 5 extra feet and a free lesson with the purchase and I want to have a play around with them all before I book.  Not happy but what can you do. 

There is a lot happening in the world of linkup parties.  I have noticed that a few Christmas ideas are starting to pop up along with some lovely things for Thanks Giving.

So what has caught my eye over the last week.  First one that caught, well my daughters eye actually when she was standing watching what mummy was doing, was this pretty pink knit dropped waist dress.  Of course she has put her order in for this one lol, you can find the tutorial over at Scattered Thoughts of a Crafty Mom :

 

Then I was informed that I had to make one of these cute crocodiles for Ethan to play with that we found over at My Life in Namibia:

 

I just love all the different takes on felt flowers that have been popping up around the place, like this one by Inspirations by D:

:

 

Why not make a cute little tie beanie out of Christmas material for your little one or as a gift.  Found this a great tutorial for one over at Blooms and Bugs:

 

My favourite upcycle this week is this adorable little dress from a jumper tutorial over at Baby Making Machine:

 

A Creative Princess has made this cute little ribbon turkey for thanks giving out of an embroidery hoop:

 

I really need to get organised and start writing my Christmas cards out.  It has been a few years since I actually made all my own cards. Just love this card and tag that Alderberry Hill has created:

 

Brown Paper Packages has this great idea for an advent calendar using toilet paper rolls:

 

Can’t wait to see what you all get up to this week.  Have a great day!!!

I know it’s that time of the week again.  Sorry the post is a day late but have been busy with a very unhappy little man who is not liking the hot weather we are having in sunny Queensland.

A very close friend of mine had her first baby last week.  He is so adorable and so tiny.  Can believe my little man was the same size as him.

I had already made a bib and some burp clothes for her at the baby shower but wanted to give the little man something at the hospital so I used this pattern to make these adorable little shoes and drafted my own template for the tie applique. 

Only problem was my machine started playing up so had to hand sew around the tie.

After looking through all the wonderful things everyone has been creating over the last week, I thought I would stick with a theme and seek out anything to do with babies.  And here is what I found:

Binge Crafter used a pattern from One Yard Wonders to make this adorable little dinosaur for a new nephew.  Love the matching wipes case:

 

Here is a different take on the old nappy cake, Diaper Babies!  Northern Cottage has use nappy’s to gift a washer and socks in a gift basket:

 

And who could resist these gorgeous little Gnome hats for there little ones over at At the Butterfly Ball:

 

Craft Critters has created some great wall art for her little boys bedroom:

 

I just love the fabric that Sew Much Ado has used for this car seat cover:

 

Scrapbooking is something that I haven’t done in a very long time and I just loved this accordion baby album over at Clean & Scentsible:

 

This frog is so cute and such a lovely gift idea for a little one.  Note Song shares her pattern here:

 

Sew, Cook, Laugh & Live has created this lovely Christmas onesie :

 

And aren’t these the cutest little crochet boots.  You can find them over at Lil Pink Pocket:

 

Well I best be going and get a start on my tutorial for tomorrow.  I have a few ideas but it’s which one to pick first.

Hope there is something here to inspire your next project/gift.

Have a great day!!!!

Hello everyone, how has your week been.  I have been busy making trolley covers to add to my Made It store.  I have also been doing a lot of late spring cleaning.  I just was so over the clutter in my cupboards and the kids bedrooms oh and our study (we have a lot of magazines that we read and keep).  So look out charity bin here I come.

My little man also has turned 5 months.  He has rolled onto his tummy a couple of times and is trying to sit up by himself at the moment oh and he has been really grumpy lately do to toothing.

And on the craft side of things, I’m a bit behind on my Art of Knitting teach yourself to knit, so I have been trying to catch up each night.

So what have you all been up to lately.  I have noticed that the Christmas crafts are starting to appear along with thanks giving projects overseas.  This year I have decided to make most of my nieces and nephews Christmas and have found a few ideas through Pin Interest.

Well what have you been up to over the last week.  Lady with the Red Rocker has made this beautiful felt headband and provided a great tutorial on how its done:

 

Finding other peoples complete knitting projects makes me want to dive in and start on something for the kids for next winter but I don’t think I’m quite ready to do that yet but I just loved this Cardigan that McGreen Experience has just finished:

 

I have never been one for ruffles on shirts but lately I have come across some lovely items that you have all made, like this lovely ruffle shirt that Cobblestones & Ivy has made after finding a tutorial over at Tea Rose Home :

 

And who doesn’t love a homemade softie.  A Creative Princess has used an applique pattern to create these cuddly fellows:

 

Miss G loves wearing stockings and I thought that this DIY tights tutorial was a great idea over at Southern Lovely:

 

Hating Martha has a great tutorial for a baby shower gift.  Why not make your own for the next baby shower you are attending:

I’m thinking about making the girl’s some pj’s for Christmas.  I have the pattern for the pants but wasn’t to sure about the top.  I thought about doing the usual applique on a t-shirt but I think I might us this tutorial for a tubular singlet I found over at Cass Can Sew:

And a dress or two never goes astray and here is one I found by the lovely ladies over at A Couple of Craft Addicts:

Hope all these lovely ideas have given you some inspiration for this week.  Today I am trying to take my own family photo’s instead of getting a professional to do them so wish me luck.

Happy Sewing!!!!
