		<title>I think it&#8217;s fair to assume &#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[that I am just not going to maintain this blog. I&#8217;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 [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=otherplayground.wordpress.com&blog=2464813&post=114&subd=otherplayground&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>A Male Reconstruction</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sounds painful doesn&#8217;t it?
The Breadwinner is getting old. Well it&#8217;s his birthday anyway. He didn&#8217;t want any money spent on him and he didn&#8217;t want presents and he was being al me-like and anti-consumerism. I can&#8217;t argue with that but I couldn&#8217;t not get him anything either.  So I compromised. I found a jacket for [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=otherplayground.wordpress.com&blog=2464813&post=109&subd=otherplayground&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Punk Rooster</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is the original prototype of an idea I had whilst in Sydney. It hasn&#8217;t worked out quite like I envisaged. The pattern needs work. I call this little fellow Punk Rooster.

		<title>More shirts to dresses</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This one has matching pants but I don&#8217;t like them so didn&#8217;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 [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=otherplayground.wordpress.com&blog=2464813&post=105&subd=otherplayground&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>More bargain hunting success&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had a field day on Sunday at Camberwell Market and again this morning at St John of Accord Op Shop in Greensborough. Lot&#8217;s of bargains, some for crafting, some for instant enjoyment.
My haul from Camberwell Market&#8230;
My $5 chair. For sitting on whilst crafting. It needs reupholstering, I just haven&#8217;t decided what fabric to use [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=otherplayground.wordpress.com&blog=2464813&post=91&subd=otherplayground&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Op Shop Shirts ready for the knife</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I picked up these 2 shirts for $1 each today. 

I&#8217;m going to use this tutorial to make sun dresses for next summer for the Lil Miss and maybe my niece. Awful shirts but lovely fabric for sun dresses.
Job&#8217;s done! Love that tutorial. I&#8217;ll be doing that again.
The first shirt I&#8217;m not so thrilled with [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=otherplayground.wordpress.com&blog=2464813&post=78&subd=otherplayground&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Next reconstructions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have one shrunken angora/wool polo neck jumper of the Breadwinner&#8217;s. One summer dress of mine that doesn&#8217;t look so good since my boobs moved south and a slightly too large denim skirt that I don&#8217;t love the cut of.

So my plan is to use the waistband and zip of the skirt and add it [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=otherplayground.wordpress.com&blog=2464813&post=73&subd=otherplayground&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>My First Reconstruction</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This was a lovely brown merino jumper of the Bread Winner&#8217;s that had moth holes in the cuff and collar. Far too nice to throw out so I cut a much larger neckline to remove the holes and shortened the arms to my length. The neckline is now like a boat neck but comes down [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=otherplayground.wordpress.com&blog=2464813&post=66&subd=otherplayground&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>From sheet to circle skirt</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I found this sheet for $2 in an op shop recently and teamed it up with a wonderful tutorial on making circles skirts from What The Craft

I wanted to make a waistband out of the large strip that runs across the top of the sheet but wasn&#8217;t quite sure how to do it. Instead I [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=otherplayground.wordpress.com&blog=2464813&post=63&subd=otherplayground&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Some recent bits and pieces</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been a bit slack getting these posted because I didn&#8217;t want to deal with sorting the hundreds of photos we took on holiday. I&#8217;ve finally done it though so I can post a few things I&#8217;ve made since we got back.
While I was away, to keep me in the moment, I made this knit [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=otherplayground.wordpress.com&blog=2464813&post=50&subd=otherplayground&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
