well, not that I actually do any gardening, but look how well the roses are coming along! and… and… and also…

today was our school fair, and I was running the slice of cake stall to go with coffee (which Sam and Jadie were selling), we did a coffee and cake deal, which helps things along. I made five cakes, my brother Sam made two, my mum made one, Muratti donated

It’s been a long time!  Sorry guys!  Well first Ben and I went away for two weeks, then a week after we got back we had our nephew and neices stay here for two weeks whilst parents went overseas, so that was busy but fun.  Then I’ve been

At last I finished the first bunny blankey!  It is lovely and soft, and I think it looks sweet too. I love the texture of the bobbles, and how silky the bow is and how dreamily soft the yarns are. I have a blue/green colour aswell that I will

Luckily I can announce the strawberry booties, because I am quite sure you are sick of ponchos by now.  I made these today (I think I started one yesterday) and they are super cute, though mine turned out smaller than 6 -12 months I’m sure.  I’ll try them

today I had a nice easy day where lots of crochet was done, and a cake (and 2 lasagnas) were made.  I just finished the purple poncho for my Etsy shop, except I need to go buy a big button for the collar so I can’t take a photo

Look at what is in bud from Treloar roses at our place!  It is the beautiful Peace rose, and out of the three roses we bought this one is winning. In other news, I crocheted two more beanies- one slouch and one not.  One is for Zoe to keep, and

guess what is just around the corner?  Spring is coming- yay! isn’t almond blossom beautiful?  Thank you God. and also- my third rose (Mr Lincoln) has the teeniest tiniest of what looks like new shoots- so hopefully soon it will be looking as gorgeous as the other two roses

here is a photo of what we had for dinner… spinach and fetta slice, potato stacks and salad. yum!

I opened up an etsy shop! to sell surplus crocheted items, ahem.   It’a just called creativelittlemeShop and I must say thank you to a shop I’ve never been in before at Gepps Cross Homemaker centre, called  Kimberley James Furniture, where I laid out the daisy rug on a

I’m going to keep this one, the other one got sloppier around the neck as time went on, and I got tired of always adjusting it. The flecks in the blue are so pretty.

I just wanted to revisit this photo.  Also I started making a little crochet blankie toy (this image is from pinterest) using the softest baby merino mulberry silk wool, but I’m thinking of starting it again – the hook is small (3mm) and the stitches tight together so instead of

and here it is, a neat and tidy way to store and hang all her hairclips etc. isn’t she clever!  She has stapled strips of ribbon to the back of an old picture frame, to clip them onto.  Add some hooks at the bottom for headbands, and she’s

I got this beautiful email this morning so I hopped on down to Spotlight to see what they had to inspire me for my next big project.  I ended up with a gorgeous array of rainbow colours for a ripple rug- but Zoe says I can’t start it until

I guess I need to confess, yes I am working on another poncho.  (It’s for me) and I bought the lovely yarn with my birthday money from Nan and Tonepa.  It’s a lovely light denim blue with flecks in it at random. I’m getting along just great

I’ve tried a few recipes from Sally’s baking addiction before, so I thought I would try these red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting.  I had to especially buy red gel food colouring for it, and when I got to the bit in the recipe when it said

and here is Eloise in her bathers!  Actually this is the second pair of bathers- for some reason the first pair (following the pattern) were HUGE! So I adjusted the pattern, changed the colours, added a starfish applique and here she is!
