Strawberry Update | Grown In Wicking Hanging Basket | Re-use | Home Grown

Strawberry 01

Woo hoo our strawberries are ripe and we get to taste the 1st fruits of our hanging wicking basket a day before the last day of winter^^

I started with 1 strawberry runner last year from mum and dads. Then when that plant grew runners/

I potted them up in little seedling pots. If you’ll like to know how I did that, feel free to let me know in the comments 😀

Then I created a hanging wicking basket for them and they are doing so well!

So check out the “Hanging Wicking Basket” link above on how you can make your very own!

Enjoy,

Convertible Crocheted Gloves | Crochet | DIY

I find it hard to use anything with gloves on.

So I decided to come with my own design where you can keep your fingers warm  but also have the ability to use your fingers and keeping your hand warm and if you are not using your thumb, it can stay warm;)

Hubby reckons it’s perfect for cyclist as he uses it to keep his fingers warm during his commute to work in the cold winter months.

If you’ll like one, I can make one to order in any colour you like:)

Mulan | Costume Design| Re-Use | Op Shop Finds

We had to dress up as a character from any book, film or tv series.

We decided with Mulan and Li Shang as hubby and I are both familiar with it and it was a good dress up for couples.

I got most of the materials from the op shop such as scarves and red silky fabric, the silky maid of honour bathrobe and borrowed the necklace and blue scarf from mum. I had to do a bit of sewing to make it look more like the Mulan from the match maker scene.

For hubby’s out fit, I used scarves to make the grey and black body piece on top of his green shirt and an old bed sheet from the op shop for the cape. I  made the cape by measuring from his neck to his ankle for the height and then I measured him horizontally from his left  biceps to the right.

A HUGE thank you to Sam and Laney for helping us with hair and make up:D
