Saturday, April 26, 2014. I have become rather obsessed about making wall hangings, it's the perfect way to show off beautiful printed fabrics. Here's one I made a while ago featuring the lovely Lumimarja print designed by Erja Hirvi from Marimekko (which we bought back in 2012, yikes). This comes in many colourways but we chose the grey/yellow/white version. Any excuse to use the staple gun really =). Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Flicks Margaret and David.

taichifox: Nani Iro Spotty Spring Scarf
http://taichifox.blogspot.com/2012/10/nani-iro-spotty-spring-scarf.html
Tuesday, October 30, 2012. Nani Iro Spotty Spring Scarf. Mostly, we try to be sensible and not splurge too much. But I confess, there are some things that I don't think twice about:. 1) Gigs - anyone else excited about the pairing. Of Joe Pernice of Pernice Brothers and Norman Blake of Teenage Fanclub? 2) Fabrics. Too much is never enough. Un)fortunately, Elmo is an excellent enabler, so we recently splurged on Marimekko lovelies at Kiitos. Closing soon to make way for a second Scarlet Jones.

We sweltered in glorious 40degC scorching heat over the holidays, and being a sensible person, i took this time to knit =p. luckily, this week we tipped back towards the wintery weather (thanks melbs). i was very grateful to have this scarf.just in time for january (! The pattern comes from this awesome book. Which contains clear instructions and photos for the knitting newbies. Godsend! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

taichifox: Echino Framed
http://taichifox.blogspot.com/2012/12/echino-framed.html
Wednesday, December 26, 2012. Inspired by some fabric wall hangings at. We armed ourselves with a staple gun and stretched canvas frame to make this for my bro's housewarming/Christmas pressie. This Echino Bird print was a gift from Dr P and J a few years ago from Duckcloth. I think they may have envisioned a skirt version too; however, I think it also makes a great print to admire on a nice new wall in a nice new house. An extremely satisfying project indeed, we felt quite proud of our handiwork! Bites ...

Tuesday, July 12, 2011. Advice from a craft genius. Do you ever feel that you don't have enough hours in the day? That you don't own your own time? I read this post by aunty cookie. Who made the pertinent point that you actually choose. How to spend your time. Regrettably, i'm one of those annoying people she talks about, who wonders why they don't have time to do things. work vs family? Aunty cookie would definitely disapprove in this department - mmm, change subject! Totally delicious elmo, thank you!

Saturday, April 19, 2014. OK, so I'm not sure what penguins sound like. Turns out that when you become an aunty, it's essential to expand your repertoire of animal sounds beyond Mooooo, Meow and (my favourite) Raaaaaaarr! Here, it's same same but different. Still making stuff and having fun. Last year, we tied the knot and travelled a bit. This year, we're gonna keep it local and visit all our interstate buddies - watch out guys! I'm also enjoying reading many new sewist blogs - very inspiring.

Sunday, July 01, 2012. Or happy new financial year! We recently moved from a small city apartment to a small house further out. reality check: all our romantic notions of growing vegies in the backyard were swiftly replaced with new hobbies of lawnmowing and saving plants from bugs unknown. yup. We do love our new neighbourhood though, especially now that we've stopped feeling like we're living in a b and b that just happens to have all of our stuff in it! In kyoto, a little shop adjacent to the avril.
