What I've Been Loving…

Hi!  Over the last couple of months I have been absolutely loving What Delilah Did and the book 'Storyland Cross Stitch' by Sophie Simpson.  I first borrowed this book through my library and I quickly bought my own copy!  It is such a gorgeous book with beautiful drawings, patterns and photos it really makes my imagination run wild!  I have always been a fan mythical beasts and trust me this book is full of them!

I am so in love with this book I really want to make everything within it's pages.  Do you have a favourite craft book that you just can't get enough of?

Happy Days!

Creative outlets

Hi! These past couple of weeks I have been extremely grateful for creative outlets.  How nice to get together with a like-minded person and talk craft, inspirations and ideas.  My major creative outlet has always been my mum.  Mum is a keen crafter,  with many a skill up her sleeve (folk art, sewing, patch working to name a few).   She is the 'go-to' for my sewing mishaps or design disasters! 
And for the past 8 months another outlet has been work!  I work with a wonderful lady who is absolutely crafty and talented.  All that comes out of our mouths is craft, food, and craft!  Her wonderful talent definitely runs in the family because her daughter is the lovely Moose & Bird.  Denise has spent a few lunch hours being very patient and teaching me how to knit.  At first I felt like I was learning to tie my shoelaces for the first time.  Being used to one hook when crocheting to multitasking two needles was hard!  But I fumbled through and learnt the basic knit stitch.  Now I am challenged to try purl.
Another creative outlet I am grateful for is Brisstyle.  Brisstyle is an association which brings together artists and crafters through markets, workshops and events which is of course in Brisbane!  I checked out the Brisstyle Indie Markets back in May, and through my visit and on instagram have connected with some ultra talented people. 

My bookspirations these last couple of weeks have been...

I have been doing a cross stitch from the Storyland Cross Stitch, the book contains gorgeous patterns to follow.  The pattern I chose was the Jackalope.

Do you have any books/mags that get your creative ideas flowing?

Stitching heaven…

Hello!  This week I have been loving looking through 'Crafty Creatures' by Jane Bull and getting some amazing inspiration through her beautiful pages.  I decided to partake in her stitch-a-doodle and have loved the outcome!

 My hearts are a little wonky but I think it adds a cute touch.  I would love to make some more perhaps as presents or a trio down the wall.


Hope you have a great week!
