Stop the press guys… A while back I pinned this super cute romper from Erin at Lemon Tree Creations, with the promise that if Hercules was a boy, I would be making it for his Christmas outfit. Turns out that Herc was Ronan, and so it was time to get stuck into my Christmassy fabrics. (and FYI, if Herc had been a girl, I would have been making this sunsuit from Made By Rae in Michael Miller’s Yule Critters in [...]

There’s no denying that Halloween is becoming more and more prominent each year in Australia, and I’m a firm believer in the “if you can beat them, join them!” mentality… just so long as I don’t break the bank on decorations that are only going to be up for a week or so! Which makes these spider webs from Jessica Jones, made using bin bags, absolutely perfect. Minimal layout, and when you’re ready to take the down you don’t have [...]

Queen of the cake pops, Bakerella has created these beautiful new eyeball cake pops, just in time for Halloween. Spooky, and delicious at the same time, I can’t believe someone hasn’t done this already as cake pops are the perfect size and shape for creating edible eyeballs!

Jax Avery of Aly&Ash has shared these lovely little toppers for you to print out and use to decorate your own easter cupcakes. I love the pastel colours combined with the black and white – as a [...]

This year is a big one for me, I’m still working on healing from the loss of our daughter and the resulting stresses and upsets of 2010, so I’m beginning this year with a fresh outlook on life and a desire to make it the most positive year I possibly can – and lets face it, after the last ten months, ANYTHING is going to seem positive! I love this new year printable from Lil’ Magoolie (Australian craft blog – [...]

Sara from Creative Jewish Mom posted an fabulous how to with details on creating this beautiful flower bouquet, made entirely from felt! I know we’re in the wrong season, but this would be absolutely perfect for spring, or decorating a little girls room where you want the look of flowers, but don’t want the hassle of buying fresh flowers or dusting artificial ones. I may have also made a mental note to go and pick up some felt in different [...]
