Valentine's Makes

Even though the Valentine's Day is well and truly over and a few decorations that we had hanging around are already packed away till the next year, I felt like sharing the things I made with you.

Rustic Cherry Pie Recipe

What is your favourite treat? The perfect treat for me is something home baked. A cake, pie, cookies. There is nothing better than the house filled with a lovely aroma of fresh baking at any time of the day. Cinnamon rolls, sugar buns, poppy seed roll, chewy oaty cookies, french loaf, stromboli, apple pie... Oh, this list can go on and on. Baking for me is like a good therapy session really, especially the part when we all get together to enjoy a slice of baked goodness with a cup of tea.

Flex Frame Tulip Pouch

Last year I gave myself a little gift. A Japanese book called "Pattern Lessons of Patchwork". The book is full of different hand sewn quilting blocks with all the instructions in Japanese, but with very detailed step-by-step photos. The book really is amazing and inspiring.

Cross-Stitch Pillow

I mentioned before a gift with a condition that I received last year from a dear friend of mine. A beautiful embroidery "Winter Kiss" by Belle & Boo. My friend insisted that I made a pillow. What else apart from framing this lovely piece could I have done?! I suggested to her the idea of framing, but "only a pillow" I heard in return. Well, I am happy to say that I completed her request and turned her beautiful Belle & Boo cross-stitch embroidery into a pillow. Ta-dah!

Tutorial: Shall We Go Mushroom Picking?

A kind of mushroom picking where you don't have to leave your craft room or your comfy sewing nook. You just need to gather all the materials you might require, get comfortable and off we go. Ready?

ATC Posting Week

Oh my! I can't believe that I left it till almost the very last minute this time around. So much planning, organising, thinking through, sketching, but still only two nights ago I managed to finish this Artist Trading Card.

Lovely Scraps

We've got a Mousey Mouse in the house. Not a big Mousey, but a very cute one. The one that looks at you with big eyes and a sweet smile and your heart just melts, no matter what that Mousey does, how naughty or mischievous it gets at times.
