How to make a bird feeder. A simple tutorial to make a cheep, ahem. Cheap bird feeder in less than 10 minutes, using a few recycled materials. In case you hadn't guessed from the big feather wreath above, I love birds and now that we have our own garden I'd like to encourage a few more to visit. So, recently the boyfriend and I made a couple of bird feeders to hang in our garden and here's the how to:. Empty water bottle (with lid). Scissors and a screw. Inspired by the daffodil. Cheerful and bold, the s...

floral and feather: May 2015

Recently I’ve been…. Some tomato seedlings. I was a bit late putting these in and have just spent the weekend re-planting them into separate pots, so fingers crossed they now have the space to grow. As a completely novice gardener (one who has just killed another house plant) I'm thrilled to have made it this far! This new two tone lamp from Lane. Which I won in Lou from Little Green Shed. What have you been doing? Crochet Toothless from How to train your Dragon. On ravelry, I knew I'd have to make him f...

Crochet mandala A quick win. You know how sometimes you just need a nice quick project? Recently anything I’ve made has taken over a month (in snatched evenings and weekends) and let’s not even mention the top I started sewing a year and a half ago…. So after finishing my Wool and the Gang scarf. I decided it was time for a quick win, which happily coincided with last month’s Mollie Makes. Next time you need a little crafting pick me up try a quick win. PS Don’t forget to enter my GIVEAWAY. But the best ...

Finished project - a knitted teacup. Or perhaps a better question would be, why have I knitted a teacup? Not a clue, it's certainly not my most practical knit, but I think that's okay sometimes. Now that it's finished I'm not too keen on the fact it's neon green. It seemed like a good idea at the time to use up the leftovers, but I think a slightly daintier colour would have worked better. So, milk and sugar? Bracelet holder – a DIY. Happened to coincide with another. The challenge is to re-use leftover ...

Inspired by the rose. This month's 'inspired by' is something which has now turned into an unlikely obsession of mine. A couple of weeks ago we brought ourselves a beautiful pale peach climbing rose to grow up the empty trellis on the back of our house, inspired by this trip. To Pashley Manor. And in a move most unlike my normal self I have been diligently watering, training around the trellis and pruning it ever since - I was even out there yesterday morning before work! And here's my beautiful rose.

Today we have a combination of two of my favourite things - knitting and tartan! I've often wondered if it's possible to knit a tartan pattern, but as I've yet to conquer fair isle or intarsia type knitting I figured it would be a while before I was able to try it. That was until I saw a fab tutorial for knitted tartan, using a line of crochet to create the vertical lines. Genius. You can see a full tutorial here. What would you knit with this tartan pattern? Buying a home How NOT to move house. And coul...

Trio: Nearly There
http://trioforblythe.blogspot.com/2013/09/nearly-there.html
Monday, September 23, 2013. Well, it's less than two weeks until we leave for New York and I am really feeling the pressure. I have butterflies, I'm not sleeping well and I have more things to do than I have time left! I'm sure there are some other bcny vendors who feel the same way I do. Never fear, things nearly always seem to work out for the best! Even if my grand plans end up being a little less grand! I need to be mindful and try and enjoy every minute of the build-up/countdown! And oh so rewarding!

Trio: Having a Play
http://trioforblythe.blogspot.com/2014/04/having-play.html
Friday, April 11, 2014. Like it's been ages since I took some time out to take some photos just because. We received our sunny little Chuthings frock yesterday and so decided to go outside - into the 35' autumn heat - to take some photos of it. Lacey got to wear the new frock and poor Gentle was stuck in the very steamy bear suit! Her reasons weren't very convincing surprisingly and we ended up having to promise Gentle that she would get to wear the gorgeous new frock as soon as Lacey had had her turn.
