Fabulous Friday - a crafty one


Phew!  What a week it’s been!  The overall mood has been *creative* with lots of ideas and Great Plans rattling around.   This has involved buttons, fabric, old cereal boxes, varnish and a glue gun (not necessarily related)  and a Big Mess.  The mayhem has spilled out of the studio into the dining room…oh boy…but luckily it is easily blamed on *creative frenzy* and everyone in the house just sighs and works around it. 

We’ve been working on getting some lovely new goodies loaded for our Etsy store, planning a major revamp of the studio, as well as cruising the Net for inspiration and catching up with our favourite blogs.  (the latter two are code for “I’ve-run-out-of-steam, am-having-a-tea-break-and-ignoring-the-chaos-around-me”)  

All of which has resulted in no blog posts this week.  Tut..tut.

But we couldn’t possibly let a Friday go by without celebrating something fabulous.  This week, our Fabulous Friday feature is a lovely little blog we discovered, which has contributed greatly to the inspiration factor.

The Mother Huddle is a collection of Kids Crafts, DIY ideas, sewing projects and recipes, with handy tutorials.  We found out how to make these cute crêpe pom poms


were inspired by this easy tutorial on making a child-sized upholstered bench



and fell instantly in love with these adorable storage baskets.



Aren’t they sweet?  And judging by the tutorial, they are quick and simple to make, which we think is simply fabulous.
