My Very Vintage Christmas Tree

December 27, 2021December 28, 2021Leave a comment

With all the drama that was last year, I didn't film my process of decorating my tree, (but you can see me clean and restore my grandmothers old tree here), so this year, I thought I'd make an active effort to at least share my thought process with my tree this year. You may remember … Continue reading My Very Vintage Christmas Tree

Making a Charlie Brown Christmas Tree

December 17, 2021December 17, 2021Leave a comment

I've really rekindled my love of all things Peanuts, Snoopy and Charlie Brown this year; I think it's because of the character of Charlie Brown and just how endearing he is. I've really connected and related to Charlie this year so it's only natural that come the festive season, I will sneak in some Peanut's … Continue reading Making a Charlie Brown Christmas Tree

Making a Vintage Christmas Tree Hat – 1950’s Festive Crafting

December 10, 2021December 9, 20211 Comment

I sometimes get worried when I receive a message from a friend saying "I saw this and thought of you" as it really could mean a lot of things; the other week I received two different images/illustrations of a lady with a towering mini Christmas tree on her head. Oh my gosh I can see … Continue reading Making a Vintage Christmas Tree Hat – 1950’s Festive Crafting

Cleaning my Grandmother’s Christmas Tree

December 14, 2020December 13, 20201 Comment

Earlier this year, I was helping my dad clean out a part of his old shed to make some room for a new shelving unit, deep at the back I pulled out a strange shaped object and it took me a minute before I realised what it was, my grandmother's old Christmas tree. When my … Continue reading Cleaning my Grandmother’s Christmas Tree

Erstwilder X Pete Cromer Collection 2020

November 17, 2020November 13, 20201 Comment

Last year, Erstwilder released one of their most coveted collections ever; the Erstwilder X Pete Cromer collection which sold out in record time and they pieces are still highly sought after today. It was a no-brainer for Erstwilder to come back this year with a brand new collaboration with the artistic master but release both … Continue reading Erstwilder X Pete Cromer Collection 2020

When you leave the house for the first time in months and your body rebels and hates you for it.
It's time for part three of our Snoopy inspired dog house build! Today was all about attaching the side panels and roof which was so much fun with the stapel gun. After some putty filler and sanding, we finished the day off by painting on some primer ready for paint day in part 4!
During my five weeks of bed rest there wasn't much I could do as I was exhausted and couldn't look at a screen for long. So I read a lot of books, most were new and some oldies just for fun. Despite being bed bound I went on so many epic adventures and I've definitely rekindled my love of reading. Thank you to all who sent in their current reads and recommendations!
It's time for part two of how I built my Snoopy inspired dog house. As we made the base of the dog house in part one, today we focused on making the detachable roof. We made the top of the roof flat so you could sit on it and added lots of side panels for extra strength.
This weekend I'm attempting to decipher a vintage French sewing pattern. I have no idea how to use it and there are no instructions... what could possibly go wrong?
As today is @snoopygrams birthday, I thought I'd share a project I did last year where my dad and I built a Snoopy inspired dog house for a @sarsparilly shoot.
It's been raining a lot over here and I have to admit I adore this weather. I love watching the rain and I find it ever so calming; no matter show stressed I am, the rain allows me to take a deep breath and destress.
I really miss sewing so I thought I'd share a dress I made back in May which was #butterick6318 using a gorgeous vintage print cotton from @fabricdotcom
I'm still struggling health wise and I think this is my 5th or 6th week on bed rest. I'm exhausted all the time, pretty lonely and feeling flat but I'm starting to plan projects and ideas for the future.
Today was a good day; I felt well enough to do a little sewing and although I didn't quite get around to tidying uo, I certainly got my appetite back! It's the little wins right? What was one of your little wins for the week?
