P365 – Day 340 – 19 days til xmas
A few years ago, in a rare fit of Xmas nostalgia, I bought a ‘beyond the page’ wooden Xmas tree from Kaisercraft. Kaiser had a few example trees on their website and in their workshop magazine, but they all looked a bit too, well, Christmassy. (Yes, it is a...
P365 – Day 316 – show time
This weekend is our local Garden Club’s Flower and Horticultural Show. The show is mainly for flowers, but there are sections for things like produce, home brewing and photography, and there’s also a kids’ section. For Juniordwarf’s age group, there were classes for photographs and for models of a...
P365 – Day 286 – a day in the life
Apparently it’s my birthday today. I took the day off work, because I really don’t like to be at work on my birthday. Last year I had Juniordwarf with me – this year he was at school, so I had a rare day at home by myself. Here are...
P365 – Day 274 – crafty wood projects
I’ve got a few craftwood projects stashed in my bottom drawer. I got most of them for my (now very tidy) craft space, but have no idea what I’m actually going to do with them, so they’ve sat there for quite a while. I decided that if I wait...

P365 – Day 249 – special activities
Juniordwarf loves talking about how they do ‘special activities’ at school, so somehow anything that is remotely crafty that we do at home has become a ‘special activity’ Today the Salvation Army was holding a ‘crazy crafts’ session through the Communities for Children program. That sounded like a whole...
P365 – Day 247 – fathers day
When we picked Juniordwaf up from school on Thursday he had a wrapped present in his bag, which was for Slabs for Fathers Day. I had a pretty good idea of what it might be, so I couldn’t wait to see it today. Juniordwarf made Slabs’ card at Playgroup...
P365 – Day 230 – crafty mama (UPDATED 27/08/2011)
UPDATE 27 AUGUST After telling Juniordwarf I’d make him a Very Hungry Caterpillar costume for his school’s Book Week celebrations this week, I had no choice but to come through with the goods. Fortunately my ability to operate my mother’s sewing machine hadn’t deserted me, and I managed to...
P365 – Day 128 mothers day
I had a lovely day today, despite being a bit knocked about by a lingering cold that I thought had almost gone, but that made a triumphant return to my life this morning. Juniordwarf gave me a little stash of presents, which he helped me to open. (What that...
P365 – Day 114 it’s not perfect, but it’s mine
(Today’s title brought to you by Tim Minchin) Today I did something I decided on Friday to do. There’s something I’ve been complaining about ever since my scrapbooking hobby became bigger than the dining table and started to spread across two rooms. I don’t have a scrapbooking space. I can use...
