The 'Let's Pretend It's February' Giveaway!

Heyhey everyone!
I have some wonderful news!! I have a new job!!! :) I heard the news on Friday and I'm just waiting for everything to be finalised like contracts etc. I'm so excited! And just before my self-imposed deadline also which is just the icing on the cake. 

Remember when I said earlier this year that I would have a giveaway every month? As it turns out, I totally forgot about the February one! Oops... But then I had this great idea, and since it's April Fool's today, we can just pretend it's still February for now and I can host the giveaway today :) It also nicely coincides with my lovely news above so two reasons to celebrate *big grin* Yes I know, I just can't stop smiling :) Another reason for this giveaway is just to celebrate this gorgeous weather we've been having here in London. Although I do have to admit that sometime it got too warm for me and I noticed that I can't handle it as well as I used to, but I found there is always a shop nearby where I can go in and cool off a little. This week they've forecasted rain which should be great for staying home to craft and create. No interviews to go to anymore, whoohoo! Did I mention I am extremely happy about my new job? LOL

Ok ok back to business. This month's (i.e. February's) giveaway consists of a wonderful book called the Country Living Handbook. It is a great book with ideas on the seasons and everything that that entails for your garden, holidays, cooking, and crafts. I bought a copy for myself also ;)


This giveaway is open to international readers!

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!

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
