Tutorials & Patterns. Archive of ‘Home’ category. There’s been no shortage of crafting around here – but more of that on Wednesday! In the meantime, here are some photos of our super cute kitten, I felt I needed to document this little stage on the blog, she won’t be this little forever and she quite likes the camera! Zpagetti no longer had the same colours, so I had to settle with beige, but at least it won’t become a long forgotten WIP now. You might also like. Taking Stock : 6 Feb. Taking Stock : 6 Feb.

WIP Wednesday :: crochet cat cave | handmade & home
http://www.handmadeandhome.com.au/crochet/wip-wednesday-crochet-cat-cave
Tutorials & Patterns. WIP Wednesday : crochet cat cave. With the arrival of a new kitten, it wasn’t long before I decided I needed to crochet a cat bed for her! I’ve had 2 ‘skeins’ of Zpagetti in my stash for a while, so starting with the pretty patterned one, I began hooking up a ‘cat cave’. I’m not going to lie – it’s hard work! The hook is 10mm thick, and because it’s plastic it is not smooth to use, so most of the hard work is done by hands and arms. You might also like. Taking Stock : 6 Feb. What lu...

http://www.handmadeandhome.com.au/cushion/make-it-monday-patchwork-cushion-cover-for-beginners
Tutorials & Patterns. Make it Monday : patchwork cushion cover for beginners. Our youngest starts full days at Kindy soon, and they were asked to take along a square cushion for rest times. I still had a small supply of ‘I Spy’ fabrics leftover from my ‘I Spy’ quilt many moons ago, so I sewed up a simple patchwork cushion for Lucas to take along. I thought I would document the process in case you’d like to make one too! Cushion insert: available in lots of different sizes from your local craft store.

Tutorials & Patterns. Off the Hook : cosy stripe blanket. Another finished blanket to share! This time I used the lovely Bendigo Woollen Mills Luxury 8ply.
