Christmas Elves
I’ve just made a whole stack more Christmas Elves for my second cousins, Sianna and Kobi, and will be making a few more for Chrissie pressents this year. These are perfect little gifts for children, or even adults! (I have them spelling out lov...

Embroidery
I’ve been working on three new embroideries, which will be Christmas presents for Luke’s Nonna, Luke’s Nanna and Pa, and my Nana. Luke’s Nonna doesn’t celebrate Christmas, so technically this is just a random gift, whic...
Stars & Hearts for Christmas…
Yay! Another project complete with project sheet! As much as I love making all the beautiful creations other people post on their blog, I love to share with you my own ideas and craft projects! This particular little beauty I started last Christmas, ...
Stamp…
What do you think of the stamp I made? It’s a little rough- but really small! Which is why the detail is not so much there… The Robot Love design is copied off something I found on my searches across the inter-webs, and thought I would tr...
Craft Group Update
Did you know I go to a craft group on Tuesday mornings? It’s at my Nanna’s house, and the group consists of Nanna, my mum, Aunty Kris, Lekky, Felicia (my dad’s cousin’s wife), and me. Sometimes my cousin Julia comes along, but...

It’s Funny Like That
Do you ever feel so INCREDIBLY overwhelmed with life? I sometimes feel like I want to retire. Not because of my job (I enjoy working with my husband, Dad and other other team members; and the work I do is enjoyable, and new), but sometimes just becau...
Online Photo Printing
Of course they don’t PRINT online (that would be… impossible), but you upload them online and then they print out at your closest Big W store! Have you tried it? BigWphotos.com.au is brilliant! I’m getting photos from out holiday (...
How to make a Felt Phone Cover
The other day I made a few prototype phone covers for my iPhone. I’m also making one for my friend Rachel’s Samsung (I THINK it’s a samsung! All that really matters is that it’s 5 1/2 x 10 1/2 cm…!) soon. It was SO easy ...
The Bag Bag….
The night before last we finished all our TV series we were watching (LOST & Fringe mostly- WOW to the endings of both!!), which meant that last night I got the opportunity to do some more creative things! I had just been grocery shopping, and ha...
My Sewing Bag…
If you follow my tumblr then you would have seen a link to the tutorial for a cute little sewing bag! Well, I’ve made my own (of course, with a few modifications). Now, after a while I got confused with the instructions, and had a wave of inspi...

Yep, that’s where I’ve been! The Stitches & Craft show! I went the other weekend with Mum & Felicia. I am just buzzing with creative ideas and inspiration, not to mention a whole swag of new blogs to check out! Want to see what I...
How to Make Teacup Candles
Saturday was ANZAC day. I had great plans of going to Spotlight, but silly me, forgot that they are CLOSED on public holidays! So I trundled back from my trip to Kawana and was sitting at home thinking, ‘What can I make today?’ I remember...
How to make a Firetwirling Bag
I’ve recently found this super cute site called Living Creatively. I am totally inspired from it, and my tumblr is getting rather full! Apparently each month they have a competition, and this month I’m entering! I’ve made a bag for ...
Our Wedding Album…
I have just bought a heap of card on ebay from scraptimenow (great seller, you should check it out) for some scrapbooking and card making I want to do. The last album I made was our wedding album, and that was about a year ago that I finished that. M...
Keeping Memories…
You may have noticed that I have a very cute little plugin on my blog for showing other posts that might be of interest to you, when you finsih the post you’re reading. I myself was very interested to see what other posts came up, as some of th...
Plush Mushy!
My latest first craft adventure was this pin cushion mushroom and toadstool. They are incredibly cute, and I don’t really want to poke pins into them! It was suprisingly easy and quick to make. I whipped up the mushroom in a day (plus the day b...

I just thought I would let you know that my second Tumblr is up and running. You can find it if you go to http://sunshinetalia.tumblr.com Here I put all my little inspirations- things I want to do! Things like this beautiful basket. It also has links...
