that I am just not going to maintain this blog. I’m terrible. I confess. Any crafty action I have blogged in recent months has ended up on the kitchen playground along with the rest of my ramblings.
Do head on over that way if you are interested in any of my creations, both edible and not so edible!
This is the original prototype of an idea I had whilst in Sydney. It hasn’t worked out quite like I envisaged. The pattern needs work. I call this little fellow Punk Rooster.
This one has matching pants but I don’t like them so didn’t bother photographing them.
This one I like better. It had two pockets so I moved them to the front. In the process of removing them I tore a little bot of the fabric so the appliqued flowers are there as a way of hiding that. I think it worked out quite well.
I had a field day on Sunday at Camberwell Market and again this morning at St John of Accord Op Shop in Greensborough. Lot’s of bargains, some for crafting, some for instant enjoyment.
My haul from Camberwell Market…
My $5 chair. For sitting on whilst crafting. It needs reupholstering, I just haven’t decided what fabric to use yet.
A $3 doll. I’m hoping she will clean up like new doe my niece.
Lot’s of lovely fabric. The small upholstery piece was $1 and will probably end up as soft furnishings for the Lil Miss’s doll house. The printed calico type fabric is part of a curtain and was also $1. The lovely red fabric is a divine thick flannel. It’s 1 metre 20cm and cost the princely sum of $2
Two shirts at 50 cents a piece for making more sun dresses.
And a $2 necklace for me.
This morning at St John of Accord, I found some black tights for the Lil Miss for $2. Some lovely brown crochet braid for $3, a couple of metres in all.
Some lovely fabric in the form of sheets. $4 worth in total.
And my favourite find of the day. This 1979 folder of knitting patterns full of children’s and baby clothes as well as household knitting patterns, soft toys and doll clothes. Just fabulous.
Sorry for such an image heavy post but I’m very excited by all my bargains.
I’ve been on one of my crafty binges again and decided I really need somewhere to keep a record of my non-edible creations. They’re at a lower standard to the edibles but they’re still mine and it’s nice to track one’s progress dontcha think?
So here they are….be kind to me…snigger quietly…
