Crafting Fingers: when one craft isn't enough: Page 8

Who has two dozen WIPs and more to come?

Yeah. Guilty as charged.

The only catch about exploring new ideas and trying new techniques is that sometimes (if there’s no hard deadline) it’s easy for a project to just go on forever. Which isn’t always a bad thing. Some ideas are like wine and need to mature for a while before they can be best put to use. Totally cool!

Problem is when you get back to a project and have no freaking idea what you were using to make it.

Instagram is the perfect space to share crafty pics. (It’s also a fantastic excuse to take a break and style a pretty photo.)

As an eclectic crafter I’ve been collecting a list of all the crafty Instagram hashtags I’ve found inspiring, helpful, and have joined in myself. And why hide it all in a spreadsheet? This post will keep getting updated as I discover more creative corners in Instaland, so be sure to Pin and check back later. Happy crafting!

The way you organise your tools can mean the difference between an enjoyable crafternoon, or a panicked hour of looking for your last remaining embroidery needle because you KNOW you saw it somewhere yesterday but now its gone and you have to leave ten minutes ago because your craft club meets in 15 minutes.

Cue pretty trinket boxes. It’s easy to stay organised when the storage itself calls out to your inner craft goddess. ..OK, maybe that was a bit much. Still, button trinket boxes are pretty AND practical.

Here’s how to make your own, whatever size you prefer:

Happy World Stationery Day!

We’re halfway through National Stationery Week and to celebrate, I wanted to share the essential stationery bits & bobs I couldn’t do without on a daily basis. These are my babies. Honestly, they probably see more of me than my husband does.

(I’ll be honest. Writing this post was just as much about fondling my stationery stash as it was to share with you guys.)

Here’s a pretty and practical DIY for the home. Who said compost bins have to be plain?

Earth Day is April 22nd. Sorting waste and growing your own food is a huge way to live greener. (Literally!) This DIY turns any tin into a practical, odour-filtering compost caddy you won’t have to hide when friends come over.
