Halloweening - Best of 2010

Hi all!
It's October!! Whoohooo!!! Forgotten is all the stress from last week and ignored are all the unfinished projects. Let's take a minute and think about this: it's nearly Halloween!

Since I have done so much last year and our apartment really isnt that big, I wanted to write this 'best of' post to start off the month in style :)

Harry Potter potion bottles, my most viewed post ever! I still havent heard from the person who inspired me...

Halloween tea towels, still going strong in my kitchen :)

Halloween door witch, still not entirely sure about this, but it's been on the wall for a whole year so surely it's a hit?

Hanging mannequin, so far it has only been decorated for Halloween and will surely be again this year!

Of the bathroom transformation, the bottles are still there as well as the curtains

Pumpkin flower pots from the CSI challenge are still outside and looking good, ready for another Halloween :)

The stairs lighting was so convenient and pretty! It will definitely be used again this year.

The Sally dress that won me a $50 voucher

The great pumpkins if I say so myself

And all the food ideas I found online will definitely stay with me, I just love this pepper idea!

And also the cauldrons :)

2010 was definitely a good year for Halloweening. Let's see what we can do this year, shall we? Halloween, here I come!

    this post will be on my pinterest as soon as I'm finished writing this comment. The stair lights will have to be my next project (and the first project for our new house, moving in 3 days!) and I am really in love with those spooky bottles.

Scissor Sock Tutorial

Image
Hi all! I've had so many request from friends for these scissor socks that I wanted to share the tutorial with you. I've been sick for a while so this tutorial is well over due. This will be my first sewing tutorial so I hope it's clear enough :) Feel free to make you own or for friends or family, but please don't use it for commercial purposes or make them to sell. It is after all not my pattern. So let's get started :) You need: 2 pieces of fabric with different print Interfacing (with ironing option on one side only) Cord Ribbon 1 button  Beads Cutting mat and ruler Rotary cutter and scissors Some sort of circular template (I use a small plate) Needle and thread Cut the fabric and the interfacing to a rectangle of 9x12.5 inches (23x32 cm). Decide which fabric you want where, this will influence the next step. Use your circular template to round one corner. The fabric you want on the top and bottom of your sock will have t...

Easter Prep Stage 3 - Happy Easter!

Image
Happy Easter everyone! I hope you're having a great day and no matter where you are you've had your fair share of Easter eggs whether real or chocolate. :) I was a bit late as usual so had a few last minute projects to complete last night... Lots of cool Easter projects though, let me show you:  I started this at last week's Craft Meet. Everyone around me was knitting and I felt a bit like a 5-year old with my paint chips cutting out eggs, but there was a need for it. I found a great idea on Pinterest and just had to try it. So I rushed to the DIY store and got a pile of paint chips... Taadaa, the Easter bunting! Isn't it the coolest! The original idea was found here (please link to the ORIGINAL POST when adding this to Pinterest if you want to pin this) , and I just love it! The paint chips I used were a little different from what the original post shows, and I thought it would be nice to have some diagonal eggs as well. THAT was not such a good id...

Fabulising February - Men's Shirt Dress

Image
Hi everyone! Fabulising February is nearly over and this is the last project I have managed to complete.Tomorrow I'll post a short recap showing all the finished projects. Wanting to go out with a bang, I tackled a men's shirt that the bf bought online many years ago and forgot to return it so I wanted to make something nice out of it. Seems a waste to be throwing away a brand new shirt! Granted, it was white and while probably cotton it was very thick and stiff material. So I dyed it purple. Of course. Once it was purple, I then had to try and do something with it. Easier said than done! I finally found a cute idea for a dress in blogland (didn't save the link though) and I really wanted to try that. But the instructions were super tricky so in the mending pile it went. This is the shirt. Much too large even for the bf but purple at least ;) And a bit wrinkled for being in the bag for a very long time. But with only a little time left in my Fabulising February ...
