What I've been making..

Ive been busy...not making huge things, but small, quick, pretty and long lasting. Have a look..

Mini pompoms for cushion trimmings and mini pompom garlands...
 
Finishing off another crochet cushion cover...
 
Making Mollie Makes foxes and racoons with fabric scraps with friends... 
 
Making reusable lunch bags...
 
And making splashes (and memories) with my little Percy on the hot days we've been having 
 
 Love that he's a water baby!
 
 
What have you been getting up to? How have you handled the heat if you live in melbourne like me?

    1. Oh mezz, sorry to hear your still sick! I dont know if it was you or ash or another blog or someone out there ho a while ago suggested using the strong ikea food bags so I line them with those and hopefully that will last a long time. The outside is just waterproof placmats I found but any vinyl would do I reckon.

  2. i was going to ask about your lunch bags too :) what did you line them with? does the bread dry out? love all your other bits you have been making. i think i might dig out some wool and make some pompoms.

    1. I lined them with strong thick food bags from Ikea. Then we just wipe the bag clean after each use and it works fine. The outside is waterproof placemats I found but any waterproof fabric would do I reckon. So far my hubby hasnt complained of dry bread so all good there!

  4. I love your idea about making mini pompoms for trimming purposes. Why on earth didn't I think of that! Jealous of your water fun - it's certainly not the weather to be doing that here - unless your're in a heated swimming pool of course. xx

  6. It seems like the comment I tried to post yesterday disappeared into the ether, but just to say I love all the things you've been making! I also wanted to ask how old is Percy?

  7. Hi Taz, I've just tried to send this in response to your commment on mine, but you have no-relpy blogger:

    Hi Taz, thank you dearie. It's a great tutorial, every i is dotted and t is crossed - perfect for a beginner like me.

    I posted your plate today. I hope you like it. It's not really pretty per se, but it is very nice x

    Percy is so cute in his little green and gold bathers and I love your little menangerie.
