Ange's Ramblings: Washi Tape School Desk Upcycle
http://angesramblings.blogspot.com/2013/02/washi-tape-school-desk-upcycle.html
Monday, February 4, 2013. Washi Tape School Desk Upcycle. I saw a picture in Mollie Makes. Magazine over the Christmas holidays of a washi wrapped dining table and it was the inspiration for a desk for Matilda. First a trip to the tip shop for an old school desk (with the lift up lid and storage underneath). I was expecting to have to hunt for one of these but the op shopping Gods were smiling on me and $5 later we had the bones of a desk! Not pretty but perfect at the same time. Also available on Etsy.

Ange's Ramblings: Christmas Making for Girls
http://angesramblings.blogspot.com/2011/12/christmas-making-for-girls.html
Tuesday, December 13, 2011. Christmas Making for Girls. Trev is the eldest of a hoard of cousins - the youngest three cousins are still at school and the very youngest is only a couple of years older than Matilda. We'll be seeing these cousins at Christmas and I don't like to do this empty handed so I have been sewing for the two girls. I can recommend the Lil Cutie Pouch. Tutorial from Noodlehead's Anna. Red and pink for Emily (aged 14). And then last week Oliver S's Liesl. Thanks for sharing : o ).

http://angesramblings.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 7, 2012. 12 WIPs in 2012. So there are a few "kick up the butt" type challenges out in the bloggy-world for the New Year but the one being hosted by AJ. Trying to finish 12 quilt projects before the end of the year might be just the challenge I need. I have at least 6 projects in various stages of incompletion. And I have a lifetime of quilt projects in the planning! 2 Kelvin's quilt that is in parts. 3 My first ever quilt top to be made into a quilt. 6 Travel t-shirt quilt to be made!

Ange's Ramblings: Fabulous Christmas Wreath
http://angesramblings.blogspot.com/2011/12/fabulous-christmas-wreath.html
Friday, December 9, 2011. Our task for Wednesday was to make a Christmas Wreath for our front door. I was inspired by this post. Matilda and Kelvin made one each and now I have a red wreath hanging on my front door (to welcome guests) and a green wreath hanging on my back door (to welcome robbers - noone uses our back door except us! I love the way they waiver in the wind. I can highly recommended making one and my kids loved the stapling and glueing. Need to get the Christmas decos out and up. So this i...

Sparkly Green Knickers: May 2010
http://sparklygreenknickers.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 28, 2010. Quilt as you go. Hosted a little quilt-along. Earlier this year. It looks like a great way to use up scraps of batting and fabric, so I had it bookmarked for laters. From the Australasian Bee. Sent out her fabric for May, and asked us to make up one or two blocks using Penny's tutorial. I was only too happy to oblige. Kellie's blocks are the last two pictured (blogger didn't put the pics in the right order). The orange and brown one went to a 4 year old boy,. Links to this post.

http://angesramblings.blogspot.com/2012/05/its-been-while.html
Thursday, May 17, 2012. It's Been a While! 3 months to be exact since I last posted here! I have been busy with babies, sewing and returning to work - not that it's an excuse, I just seem to have drifted away from blogging for a bit. I'm loving Ravelry and Pinterest but am just not that inspired to blog at the moment. Anyway, I have been knitting for new babies (and my own babies too). An owlie Milo (Ravelled here. And the cardi I knitted for Kelvin now finished for Liam (ravelled here. 12 WIPs in 2012.

Ange's Ramblings: Carols by Candlelight
http://angesramblings.blogspot.com/2011/12/carols-by-candlelight.html
Sunday, December 11, 2011. Yesterday was a warm humid day and the evening was perfect for Carols by Candlelight at the local park. We had a lovely time although have discovered that Kelvin goes a bit silly when he's tired! Today we went to a work BBQ and my contribution was the usual Chocolate Ripple Cake (with a touch of rum). And our calendar task for today will be to make some Lolly Holly. To decorate our Christmas presents. And our book is the beautifully illustrated The First Christmas. Christmas Ma...

Ange's Ramblings: 3 Months, lots of making and doing!
http://angesramblings.blogspot.com/2011/12/3-months-lots-of-making-and-doing.html
Thursday, December 22, 2011. 3 Months, lots of making and doing! Firstly, Liam is 12 weeks today (which also coincides with him being 3 months old). He's stretching out and seems to be a bit more in control of his head which is always good! We have also continued with our book and activity advent calendar. One of the most popular activities has been to paint our nails in Christmas colours! I have also made a fold-over bag. Good books over the last week have included. How the Grinch Stole Christmas! Losin...
