Wash-Your-Hands Sign

Here's another quick and easy project.

Recently someone asked for something like this. She said she had a four-year old she wanted to train.
By the time I made this, she already had another solution.
But I kinda liked this one with a graphic taken from The Graphics Fairy. (You're being watched! Haha)
It's nice walking around your own home while things around you put smile on your face :)

Now my son is 17 but he also thought this would be fun. So I let him chose the colour. 

The frame came from Salvos, of course.

So far so good. Now I'm spray-painting jars to add to my bathroom :)

Alex likes blue, so be it.

Down-to-Earth Bag

OK. I needed to do something different. 

So I made this simple bag :) (Like it very much.)

I used cotton cooking twine  and the only embellishment is this huge, simple bamboo button.

In the spirit of Valentine, here is my little wire & coking twine heart with a smaller button and a little something to celebrate gorgeous Australian nature.

Hope you're having a great weekend!

Valentine's Crafts 3 - More to Wire & Twine Hearts

Hi there! Its weekend again :)

I work full time in an office I have to travel to for almost 2 hours.
Yes, two hours one way. Lots of reading time :)
However, that means being exhausted most of the time :(
But I still can't give up crafting and this blog, which makes every weekend so precious.

OK, enough whinging - let's go to my plans for this weekend.
I'd like to complete 3 projects and here's the first one.
In fact, I just tried a couple of variations to my wire & twine hearts here. (I was sooo encouraged by your kind comments - thank you very much!)

(Boy, I really need to improve my photography skills! Sorry about this.)

For this one I used cotton cooking twine and a bamboo button - the same material I used for my 'Down-to-Earth Bag' (coming in my next post). So here's the result:

And here's one with raffia. I love the texture of this one but it does require a little more patience to connect the pieces of raffia. Here it is:

That's it for now, I'm off to finish my bag!
