Hmm.. kind of anyway, these are less cracker and more puff, but they’re still delicious and make a very welcome treat in our home as we slowly remove the unnecessary additives from our diets. This is the recipe I used, slightly adapted from Country Living. You will need 1 cup plain flour 4 tbsp cold [...]

I love this pencil case idea for stashing a few pens into a folder when you’re on the go (or, in my case, to stop my husband from nicking my pens and never returning them ) All this takes is some contact, scrapbooking paper and a little patience. See the full tutorial here.

A friend and I were talking about nappy cakes, and how, as nice as they are, they’re pretty pricey once you’ve costed all those nappies for the tiers, some lotions, maybe some socks or face-washers and a toy to put on top it can add up. I love this simplified idea from Erin of Crafts [...]

Christie of Childhood 101 has hit the jackpot again with this absolutely superb homemade cardboard car. The total cost of which was a mere $9.63! Featuring a hot purple paint job, a moving steering wheel and ABS*, it has everything your toddler could need, but much cheaper, much more green and far more imaginative than [...]

Okay, so it’s not Tuesday, I’m two days late on the blog love post, and I haven’t put up Flickr Friday, but damnit, I don’t care because I’m so excited about this tut – which is why it’s going up early. Hot Christmases like we have in Australia are still a very strange concept to [...]

Christmas is fast approaching, you’re short on time, money and ideas, this blanket is the answer to all your problems! Well, maybe not all of them, but I can give you a present you can knock out in 45 minutes and (if you’re in Australia) all of the fleece at Lincraft and Spotlight is on [...]
