My better half is a weird and wonderful man. Knowing my habit of stealing his pen-knife when I need to do something and don’t feel like getting the correct implement (eg cutting my nails, slicing paper, cutting off a hanging thread… you get the gist), he bought me my own, teeny, hot-pink Swiss Army Knife.

I mentioned on Frugal Ireland that I was making invitations to my friends wedding. Well, I ordered a few samples from DIY Weddings and this weekend I had great fun making them up. These will probably be used as wedding cards for the multitude of weddings that I’ve been invited to this [...]
My PFSIL (Potential Future Sister in Law) is doing her Leaving Cert this year so I wanted to make her a card and since her Mom (My PFMIL ) is also a card maker, I knew I had to up my game. So I did what any self respecting crafter would do, I cheated [...]

My latest Etsy cruise was to find a holder for my make-up brushes. [...]
I sat down the other night to make a card for my cousin who will be five at the end of the month. Before I knew it I’d done this….
I’ve squeezed in some crafts into my busy schedule over the last while. I finally finished the scarf for my better half. It turned out well, very cosy and will look great with the Winter coat I talked him into buying at Christmas. Although hopefully he wont have the chance to wear it till [...]
A couple of weekends ago, Deborah paid us a visit here in Limerick. Apart from resulting in me having the worst hangover known to man, her trip was quite productive for me on the craft front. She was giving a demonstration in the Art and Hobby shop for Do Crafts so I got [...]
I ordered some paper from the Scrapbook Store earlier this week. (on the advice of Deborah’s other blog Midlands Craft Club) As seems to be the trend with these lovely indigenous online companies, the paper arrived really quickly, but an added bonus was the two extra sheets I got absolutely free.
