Yesterday I received my large kit for the upcoming Ubuntu CAL from Scheepjes. This beautiful heirloom blanket is designed by Dedri from Look at What I Made, the designer of the ever popular Sophie’s Universe CAL. This is only my second unboxing video and I seem to have a style. Meaning, no real method to my madness. It was recorded for …

I’m all set and ready to go for the new Scheepjes Mini-MAL! Have you heard of it already? It’s appropriately named a ShroomAlong and has been designed by one of our newest Scheepjes bloggers, Matt, from A Boy & Bunting. The official start date is tomorrow, June 4th, 2018! No, don’t worry all you North American digital date readers, you …

I plan to keep track of my Sophie’s Universe project as I go along, but of course, I only decided this once I was part way through!  So there are a few steps I may miss along the way and my initial photos will just be quick Instagram pics I took during the process.  No worries, though, as this is …

I need another WIP like I need a hole in the head, but there are some projects that are just too hard to resist.  I planned to dial it back and try to get my WIP’s under control, but then I discovered Sophie’s Universe, a CAL that was put on by Dedri, one of our fellow Scheepjes bloggers.  I missed out on the CAL …

It’s been such a long time since I’ve written on my blog.  Doesn’t it seem like all my recent posts start with a sentence like this? haha  I really want to revive my blog as I miss it quite a bit, so be aware, I think it’s going to be about a lot of crafty stuff in the future! There …

Now that Christmas is behind us and all surprises are out of the bag I can start discussing some crafts again.  I haven’t done that in a while for a few reasons. Firstly, because I didn’t do a single thing crafty for about a year.  I picked it up last year around x-mas and then wasn’t arsed with it again …

When Noah was two years old I started a blanket for him for Christmas. I really enjoyed making it but then like with a lot of projects I came to a part of the construction that was annoying and tedious and I put it away.  He turned four this weekend and for the last 1.5 years I’ve said “I really …
