Happy Mail / Junk Journal Pocket ~ Greens and Blues
I’m getting quite addicted to making these collaged window envelopes and little folders with secret pockets and places to write or tuck memories, poems, or special thoughts. Send to someone in the post to make someone happy! Or give as a special gift ~ tuck some money or a gift voucher into the pockets along…

Journal Card or Happy Mail Nbr 1
I haven’t posted for a while. I have been making things but also been so busy. However, lately I’ve been starting on a new hobby… making journal cards, or happy mail. I haven’t got to the stage of making a journal, and don’t know if I will, but I love watching Roxy Creations making these…

Recycled plastic ~ cute bags
Hey! How you going in lockdown? I randomly discovered a video where this woman was making these cute little bags out of the duvet/sheet plastic bags and I thought, yep, I’ve got some of those. I ordered some brads from Spotlight, and I made the little brown circles out of card with my CRICUT maker,…

Stay in your Bubble!
As promised yesterday I thought I would do something relevant to the start of this year and our key message from our Prime Minister here in NZ. We went into lock down hard and fast and it seems to be paying off. Staying at home and in my bubble is easy for me.

Blues & Greens
As you’ve probably guessed by now, if you know me at all, I love little houses! I also love to cross-stitch at night when I’m watching Netflix. I feel like sitting watching Netflix isn’t a waste of time if I’m doing something! So I cross-stitched this little house without a clue what it would…

My first Doll
This is obviously not my first doll, but the first doll I have ever sewn. And, I can’t believe how easy it was. Too easy! I used to make dolls clothes all the time so made the dress out of a piece of doiley I bought for like $1 at the opshop the other day.…

Denim Delight
Oh wow! I love this! It turned out better than I could have imagined. Bought the $6 denim jacked from an opportunity shop with this in mind but didn’t know what fabric I would use. Settled on this white lacy look fabric and then ended up doing the free motion sewing around the cut out…

Embroidery Collage
Just finished this little emboidery I started a few months ago. One of those things you do on the side when you’ve got a few spare moments. It’s something a little different for me because I didn’t use the sewing machine. But I do love hand sewing. The finished product is only 210mm x…
