Crafty Crochet.

I taught myself how to crochet two nights ago and look what i've achieved since then, a whole cushion cover! I love my new found skill, it's very addictive, i kept saying to myself "Just one more row". I'm going to make a second cushion cover and then start finding new things to make any suggestions?
 

A note for every occasion.



I just love this idea! A box of greeting cards for every occasion, this brown box from Kate Spade contains 15 cards and envelopes in a range of colours each with a quirky greeting on the front. I love sending cards and letters to my friends and family and these would be perfect for just that.

Felt flowers.

Bought this lovely new backpack a week ago and decided it needed some decorating to make it a little more girly.
Rummaged through my craft box and found some lovely coloured felt. I'd seen flowers like these one a hat once and thought they'd be the perfect thing to 'pimp' my backpack.
They're very easy to make, you just need five felt circles the same size and pinch them together one at a time and sewing a stitch in each before joining the next.
 

Loved.

Just found this beautiful ring from St. Kilda Jewelry, who create their gorgeous designs out of Brooklyn, New York. I just love the elegance of this simplistic design. Loved.

A crafty present.

Today i recieved a very lovely gift of the crafty kind. It was the first of fellow blogger Pip Lincolnes books, Meet me at Mikes, which is also the title of her blog. It's such a beautiful book full of fun crafty projects that have gorgeous photos to match. I cannot wait for the easter break so i have time to get my craft on and put the book to good use.

iphone camera magic.

I came across a fantastic online store named Photojojo, they stock a range of fun and amazing photo/camera inspired goodies. I have my eye on these two sets of lenses that attach to your iphone, the first lot include a Wide angle lens and a fisheye the second lot include the starburst, kaleidoscope and wide angle lenses. 

How fantastic would it be to create fun and exciting photos just by you using your phone!

Fishy business.

I've decided i want a pet fish. I remembered seeing these gorgeous repurposed globes on a blog a while back which are sold through this etsy store. Looking at them again tonight i couldn't resist, now to play the waiting game and decide what type of fish to get.

Phillipa Finch.

I have been a religiously tuning in each week to watch Phillipa Finch, who has been dubbed by the abc as the pin up girl for the emotionally thwarted. This fantastic collection of short episodes was created by artisit Emma Magenta and narrated by Toni Collette and explores Phillipa's failed relationships and emotionl turmoil. The last episode airs tonight at 10pm on ABC1, but don't fret if you've missed out you can watch a few of the episodes here or buy the dvd and book from abc online.
