All the fun of the Show

Welcome to the craft pavillion!

I grew up in the country. And I’ve always loved the show. The animals. The cooking. The showbags.
Now I live in the city.
But luckily, for a few weeks every October, the country comes to the city.
And I love it!
Tomorrow’s the last day, so try and get along.

Angry Birds Cake

Old McDonald Cake

Anne-Marie Primmer is the queen of the cooking at the show. With over 70 entries and heaps of wins, her bake goods dominated.

There’s some pretty weird craft on show too…

I said weird, didn’t I.

There is also super cute craft, like these knitted cupcakes.

And of course there is plenty of dog primping

Making Stuff. Super cute, super easy baby’s blanket you can make in one evening.

Our neighbours have just had a little baby.
I wanted to give them something hand made for little Oliver.
I found this wonderful pattern on Prudent Baby.

I found the gorgeous bunnies at Funky Fabrix.

It took one night in front of the telly to knock it out.
Really love how it turned out.
Hope Oliver loves it too!

Do you have any super easy baby projects that you can knock out in a hurry?

Making bunting makes me happy

With a friend going to Africa, I needed some decoration for her farewell.
And I wanted to make bunting.I found some fantastic instructions on Glorious Treats
It took me about 4 hours to make the first lot, the second lot was much quicker.
I’m so happy with the result!

Footy Meets Craft in the Archiballs

Rose Chong‘s on Gertrude Street is a wonderful and colourful place.
Her window displays are often inspiring.
And always wonderful.
And just as we head into football finals, the Archiballs are up in the window.
The perfect marriage of Craft and Footy.
