thank you to pin tangle for pointing me to the antique pattern library – lots of lovely downloadable patterns that are now out of copyright. (image below is from Les Fables de La Fontaine.) As well as needlework, there is crochet, knitting, and sewing patterns – books and booklets – fantastic resource.

whipup roundup

I really can’t believe school is going back – I am just a little relieved – having the kids around has been nice – they have been very self sufficient these holidays with their own projects (kanzashi flowers with this book) and have been just a little bit addicted to audio books (Harry Potter read by Stephen Fry is really very wonderful). However I can’t keep up with the mess and the noise and I really need my space back + I have a lot of work to catch up on.

  1. Need to make something … check out Nicole’s cute felt fridge magnet tutorial
  2. Made me smile: plush seahorse doily pillow woodland girl printable calendarmario sweater vest
  3. BOOKS: … I recommend the photojojo book
  4. Made my heart sing … embroidered heart pin
  5. Still time for Calendars: 2010 whipup crafty collectible calendar here (sorry no discounts as these are print on demand – but really they are worth it).
  6. … More great tutes + crafty ideas to kickstart your yearrepurposed vinyl book bag handpainted matyoshka dollslunchbag style diy shipping boxthreaded bunting carveit – carve your own signs … tiny heart crochet pattern knit a vintage baby hat mini fabric bunting (I also loved how about orange’s version here) …

Remember Charity’s tutorial on repurposed vinyl toy storage? She now has another tutorial on re-using that vinyl packaging to make kids book bags – very cute and clever too!
