It's not having what you want. It's wanting what you've got. –Sheryl Crow. Archive for October, 2011. When I was little, I helped decorate the house for Halloween. We had a spooky two-story home with high ceilings and dark shadows. I hung cobwebs on the hedges. I raked leaves for giant jack-o-lantern bags. And I put together little handmade ghosts. I’m a scaredy cat. The dark, heights, creepy music in scary movies, the quickly approaching Zombie Apocalypse. They all freak me out. So what am I to do?

A Little Faith in Christchurch's Cardboard Cathedral. Do you remember digging the box from your parents’ new refrigerator out of the rubbish? 0160; Were you the sort of child who preferred playing with the box your gift came in rather than the gift itself? 0160; Did you clutter the living room with cardboard constructed forts, complete with a ‘No Parents Allowed’ sign hanging from the front door? 0160; Then a new attraction being built in Christchurch. New Zealand might be for you. Has listed it in the t...

Det är pa Jämjö det sker: november 2011
http://ulisbulis.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Det är pa Jämjö det sker. Onsdag 30 november 2011. Lilla My får pippi på japans snodd. Idag testade vi att sätta upp Ellens hår i en Lilla My-frisyr. Hon blev riktigt fin, men tofsen fick inte sitta kvar så länge. Först gjorde jag en platta att snurra trådarna i. Efterhand som man snurrar kommer snodden ut på baksidan. Jag valde att göra min snodd kring min nyckelknippa, vars nyckelband hållt på att gå sönder. Snodden i närbild. Svart, ljusgult och aprikost garn. Såhär fin blev snodden när den blev klar.

arterupt: Gifts
http://arterupt.blogspot.com/p/gifts.html
2015 and on.Paintings. I made a 2015 pact with myself that I would give homemade gifts to people for a year, instead of buying them. I slipped up a few times. For Ali's baby room. For yet to be born Frank. Filled with nail polish, remover, cotton balls and emery boards. One for each teenage niece. For Emily and Brad. Gift for a friend. I've inserted pages with cars he's owned. Linen dress for Mum. It's 2016 and I have continued to made gifts. Its very satisfying. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I finally plu...

arterupt: Woollen Sweater
http://arterupt.blogspot.com/2017/01/woollen-sweater.html
2015 and on.Paintings. Friday, 13 January 2017. It's a fairly dumb time to knit warm woollen sweaters. The temperature yesterday was 33 degrees. But on the other hand, I knit more carefully and thoughtfully as there is no rush to wear it. I wanted a dropped hem, loose cuffs and bottom edge, cables, wide neck and raglan sleeves. Now I'll have to wait for Winter before I can wear it. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Being creative is what I get up for. View my complete profile. Sewing up a storm. Air dr...

2015 and on.Paintings. Monday, 16 May 2016. I have experienced a few new ideas for the art room. They were delivered efficiently and quickly by Anna Dixon who works for Office Max.

Finger painting using primary colours. White pencil sketch with "creative paint". Torn page with text. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

arterupt: Latest Knitting Challenge.
http://arterupt.blogspot.com/2016/02/latest-knitting-challenge.html
2015 and on.Paintings. Thursday, 4 February 2016. I have spotted an awesome fair isle jacket on Ravelry which I propose to make. The challenge will be to make it from photos only, as the pattern is in Finnish. It could possibly be translated but I can't even find anywhere. There are several examples of other knitters attempts at this. Several of who have commented on the lack of an English translation. I will get grey and cream as my main colours and leave the decision on the edge colour till last. Air d...

arterupt: Personalised Labels
http://arterupt.blogspot.com/2016/10/personalised-labels.html
2015 and on.Paintings. Wednesday, 5 October 2016. I've wanted to stitch little labels into my home made gifts for some time but it all seemed a bit laborious and time consuming. Well, I found the time and with a bit of help from Mrs Google, I have made a variety of personalised labels. Choosing what to say took a while. I didn't want them to sound too cheesy or inappropriate. So I came up with 'one of a kind' as no two gifts come out the same. One of a kind. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Air dry cl...

arterupt: Stuffed puppy
http://arterupt.blogspot.com/2016/12/stuffed-puppy.html
2015 and on.Paintings. Tuesday, 20 December 2016. He's a bit annoying as he doesn't sit flat on the ground. If I made him again, I would sculpt his little tummy so his feet are more grounded. Otherwise.cute. I found both the stuffed toys in a book called "Sew Cute to Cuddle." By Mariska Vos-Bolman. Labels: Sew cute to cuddle. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
