Log Cabin Cushion
7
My first cushion to be “clothed” is this one made with an interesting print from Japan. I like the black doily lace with its colourful center which actually echoes the larger flower. I especially like the detail of the two rabbits since I was born in the year of the rabbit. Anyway, back to the read further...
Cushion Mad
21 month ago
in Others
It all started with this 3 cushions (on the right) or was it this one? But I went a bit mad (maybe in a good kind of way?) and sewed up more covers for four more cushions. What is really crazy is that these are NOT the final cushion covers at all. This is what read further...
Learning to Plait
21 month ago
in Montessori
I’m not sure how useful a skill plaiting is but Miss AC can now tick it off her list as something she can do now. I kept seeing Barbie getting the two stranded treatment that I just had to teach her how to do a basic plait (the 3 stranded version). Again to make the read further...

With the invention of velcro and elastic, I think kids today don’t really have to worry about learning to tie their shoe laces, do they?

I figured everyone will be receiving heaps of chocolates and decided that I would be giving guilt free Easter eggs in the form of these Easter egg tea towels here instead. Purple satin ribbon hanging loops. And learnt this awesome method of mitering the corners read further...
Pecking Cardboard Chicken Tutorial

in Crafty News, Tutorial
Needing an Easter craft for Sunday school this week, I was inspired by the many Easter chicken crafts I saw and this is the result – a collaboration between Miss AC, Mr AC and myself. I thought they turned out quite cute and did a tutorial, just in case you wanted to make your own read further...
First Easter Hat
21 month ago
in Other news
All Daddy’s handiwork here, I just dictated the colours. Oh, and little Miss did stick the eggs on the hat. We were after the minimalist look here. Ok, so we left it till last night to prepare the hat. Like the personal touch here? Maybe if we can add a handle to it, it’ll be read further...
In Loving Memory

So I managed to show you a snippet of what I was working on yesterday and this is it – a peek-a-boo bunting cushion using Nova’s tutorial. I spent all day yesterday finishing this up so it was ready for giving. I had the idea for a week now but of course it was a read further...
