Thistles and Forget-Me-Nots: Owl Sewing Kit
http://thistlesandforgetmenots.blogspot.com/2013/02/owl-sewing-kit.html
Old Knitted Cupcake Blog Posts. Monday, 11 February 2013. My friend was having a sewing party for her birthday and I thought it would be nice to make her a gift that she could use when crafting and sewing. I found this cute little owl on Etsy and decided to copy it. You can buy the embroidery design files here. And quite a few people on Etsy seem to be making these owls and selling them. I'm not sure what embroidery design files are and I'm fairly sure my antique Singer sewing machine. Once I'd stuffed t...

Thistles and Forget-Me-Nots: February 2013
http://thistlesandforgetmenots.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Old Knitted Cupcake Blog Posts. Friday, 15 February 2013. I just thought I'd share with you some baby hats that I've made recently. Back in September, my friend gave birth to her baby girl a bit earlier than expected and she weighed just 1lb 9oz! I found it quite hard to find patterns for teeny tiny preemies. The pattern I mainly used was one I found on a random typed piece of paper that someone gave me years ago. It's not credited to anyone, so I'll type it out here. 1st row: K6 (7), K2tog, rpt til end.

Thistles and Forget-Me-Nots: FO: Purple Cabled Handwarmers
http://thistlesandforgetmenots.blogspot.com/2013/01/fo-purple-cabled-handwarmers.html
Old Knitted Cupcake Blog Posts. Sunday, 27 January 2013. FO: Purple Cabled Handwarmers. Long time no blog, oops. This is a bit of an overdue post about my knitted handwarmers that I finished at the end of October. Yes, they did take me a whole year - but only because I forgot about them and they festered on the needles for many months. I think I've probably written about them before when they were a work in progress. The pattern is called Midnight - with a twist! At least my wrists are warm. Cannock Craf...

https://citygardencountrygarden.blogspot.com/2015/07/slow-living-journal-march-to-june-2015.html
City garden country garden. Slow Living Journal - March to June 2015. It was so lovely today to receive a message on my last blog post from Linda at Greenhaven. Just checking in, given it's been so long since I last did a post. Thanks for your thoughts Linda. All is good here, just not so much slow living going on at the moment! We have calculated that next year we need to harvest 78kg to make enough for one bottle each per week for the year. One of the highlights of the last few months was a trip to NZ&...

city garden country garden: Country Garden Glut and Being Distracted
https://citygardencountrygarden.blogspot.com/2015/02/country-garden-glut-and-being-distracted.html
City garden country garden. Country Garden Glut and Being Distracted. The email from my aunt arrived with a hint of desperation to it: "Please come up this weekend, even if it's hot and all you do is pick some of the tomatoes, capsicums, squash, eggplants.". The last couple of weekends I've been distracted from the Country Garden by a country show. I stopped picking when I filled two eskies and the temperature reached 36 degrees. And here's why I wasn't gardening last week. City garden country garden.

city garden country garden: Making Cider
https://citygardencountrygarden.blogspot.com/2015/07/making-cider.html
City garden country garden. In my last blog post I wrote about one way of using lots of apples when you have a glut: make apple cider. My friend E and I had investigated lots of recipes but most seemed very complicated and needed lots of equipment or time. Then I read Sally Wise's book A Year on the Farm. And came across a recipe in it that seemed ridiculously simple, so we decided to give it a go (thanks E for the photos! How simple is that? But all of that starts to take away from the reason we chose t...

Thistles and Forget-Me-Nots: Sheep Toilet Roll Cover
http://thistlesandforgetmenots.blogspot.com/2013/02/sheep-toilet-roll-cover.html
Old Knitted Cupcake Blog Posts. Wednesday, 13 February 2013. Sheep Toilet Roll Cover. This might sound a little bit weird, but I made a Sheep Toilet Roll Cover for my friend's birthday. This may seem like a slightly strange gift but in my defence, the friend in question bought me the T oilet Roll Covers. Pattern book for Christmas so I felt she deserved one! I decided my first toilet roll cover would be the sheep pattern. It didn't end up looking very sheep like! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Thistles and Forget-Me-Nots: January 2013
http://thistlesandforgetmenots.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Old Knitted Cupcake Blog Posts. Monday, 28 January 2013. It seems a long time ago now, much longer than a month. We spend all year working up to the Big Day and then BAM! It's over. In my family, we take it in turns to host Christmas. There is (currently) a three year rolling rota, comprising my Mum, my Aunt/Uncle/Cousins and Me. I'm looking forward to my Cousins getting their own houses so they can participate too, then it will only be every 5 years! Yes, I'm obsessed) and decided to recreate my own lad...

city garden country garden: Winter Life
https://citygardencountrygarden.blogspot.com/2015/07/winter-life.html
City garden country garden. It often feels to me that everything stops in winter and is all grey and dreary. But today as I walked in the front gate of the City Garden I noticed that the nuts on the mallee gum (which I think is Eucalyptus. In the front garden are starting to "pop their lids" and will soon be in a short but full bloom. Then I started looking around at the other plants in the garden and realised that there are flowers everywhere! City garden country garden. 26 July 2015 at 07:41. The City ...
