Flower
Jolene loves these wild daisies that flower in masses up and down the sides of roads, motorways and any other wild verge they can gain a foothold in … little wonder then that a small colony has established themselves in the garden!? They are tremendously nice, although they’re currently competing with some ground elder that [...]
In the last 4 weeks we’ve had both of our booked craft fairs whipped out from under our feet, due to no fault of our own I hasten to add. The first thanks to the council library failing to sort out the right licence from, well, the council; the second being cancelled for who knows [...]
… and still I’m gripped by an inability to craft, seized as I am between an unfinished poly-tunnel and the start of the school summer holidays. Progress on the poly-tunnel is slow, although there is at least progress with the door-frames having been erected since my last update, leaving only the base-rail to attach, the [...]
I mentioned previously that I’ve been busy putting together the poly-tunnel (amongst other things) hence the dearth of actual crafts of late, although I think the tunnel may actually qualify under the auspices that it is ‘Stuff’ what has been ‘Made’!? Failing that Jolene has been working on a couple of bits n’ bobs that [...]
I’ve just browsed through the last page worth of posts that we’ve made on here and can’t help noticing that the amount of MadeStuff has somewhat tailed off of late, indeed, I currently have NO crafting projects under-way at the minute. I’ve been too busy cutting the grass … What I do have on the [...]
I think I may be becoming a fanatic, well, maybe not quite; although I did find myself outside in the rain this morning pulling weeds and re-arranging pots!? The garden really has quite a lure to me, being confined to quarters over the winter and suffering a wee bit with cabin fever really makes you [...]
Seemingly daisies are edible, yum, they have very light peppery flavour and there are loads of them around. Which is handy, since the kids seem to be permanently hungry … or at the very least bored which seems to inevitably lead to cries of: “I’m bored. Can I have something to eat?” Now I have [...]
A few weeks ago I came across this tutorial on Holidash but it uses glue and I’m really not a glue person. Nonetheless, I saved it in my favourites and last week I finally decided to have a go, using stitches in place of the glue. I won’t pretend it wasn’t fiddly but I’m guessing [...]
As with the button flowers, these are a couple of items that Jolene (for whatever reason) decided not to put on the blog. Fortunately for you, dear reader, I’m often left alone with the creations, a camera, and access to the internet and so here are another couple of items Jolene’s put together in the [...]
Jolene made this wee bunch of ‘flowers’ a few weeks ago and has seemingly been doing her best to ignore it ever since, I’m not sure why though, personally I think it’s rather fab and so I’ve decided to go behind her back and share them with you! Unfortunately I struggled to get a decent [...]
