Little Indian Headband

Recently, Kayla went to a craft birthday party and came home with a bunch of pretty feathers.

She really wanted to make something with them. 

I bought these leather straps while on holiday,

 so I thought they would be perfect for making a

 little Indian feather headband.

I found some beads with large holes and trimmed the tips of the feathers to fit.

We braided the leather straps,

 then put it all together.

One happy little Indian Princess!!

Leather Scraps to Handmade Wallet.

Awhile ago I made some white leather cushions.  

I had this tiny piece of white leather left over ,

and I hate to waste things,

so I made this cute little wallet with the scraps.

Wood and Silver Necklace

 My 2 year old wanted to play with our craft box,

and I rediscovered these cute little wooden hearts.

Now that I have a new drill press,

I thought it might be a good idea to put a little hole in the top and

add a bit of Silver jewellery that fell off another bracelet.

I tacked it on and add a Hemp sting.

Wah... Lah...

 Something a bit unique and different.

I am so glad I kept that Silver charm that fell off another piece of jewellery.

She can't wait to add it to her
Jewellery Box.

Wooly Warmer Tea Lights

It is winter now, and I love to lite tea lights at night once the kids have gone to bed.  

The more summery doily ones were not cutting it, so I decided to make some wintery wooly ones instead.

I got some Ikea glasses, some doubled sided tape and some good quality fluffy wool.....

Good fluffy, proper wool, with some other mixes
seems the best for the most cozy look.

I love the neon pink fuzzy wool...so cozy.

They look lovely lit up at night! 

Even a very thin Angora yarn can look amazing carefully spun around the glass.  I think I might make some more of these.

Half dipped pencil holder

My Mother's day DIY shed has a new Drill Press

I admit I am not very experienced with one so I did a bit of practicing

on a bit of scrap wood left over....

and this is what happened.

I couldn't resist half dipping it in Pink so it will look just divine on Kayla's new desk.
