Snail Mail... remember that?

Back in June I had the pleasure of joining in on the Creative Collective June Snail Mail Swap Bot. One was given 3 people's addresses, who also signed up to the swap bot, and you sent them something lovely via snail mail. I ended up sending parcels to Canada, Canberra and Tasmania. It was such fun. I do hope they enjoyed their snail mail parcels.

These are the goodies I sent to my swap bot partners.

Of course I received 3 parcels full of goodies, one from New Zealand, UK and Queensland. Wasn't I lucky!

The Creative Collective has announced their July project - Time To Finish. Click here to check it out.

Creative Collective - April Project

So April has arrived, oh my gosh, the year is going quickly. So we know what that means, chocolate!!!! Yeah.

But it also means a new project from Creative Collective! So I need to decide what to make this month that has an Easter Theme. If you want to join in, check out the details here.

Creative Collective - March Project

I just managed to get this tiny March project in for this month's Creative Collective project.

I had extremely old strawberry perfume, from The Body Shop. It smelt ghastly, it wasn't fit to use. So after dumping the perfume, I thought I would reuse the cute little bottle for this project.

Used some lovely Japanese Washi Tape and some left over Japanese paper. The paper was perfect to cover the Body Shop logo which is imprinted on the glass.

Perfect little vase for the window sill.

New Year, new project

Recently the 'Creative Collective' announced the January challenge, which I mentioned in a previous post. So I took up the challenge, and produced my very first amigurumi robot.

I received for Christmas 'Crobots 20 Amigurumi Robots to Make' by Nelly Pailloux. Such a cute book. In the past I have only crocheted granny squares, and I have never learnt much else. So I decided I had to leave my comfort zone and take the plunge to learn new stitches and learn how to read a pattern.

Well I did it!

Dogbot

Now I'm a little addicted, I'm onto my next one.

Happy New Year!!

Happy New Year!!! And you know what that means? It's time to take up the challenge and start a New Year craft project.

The lovely people over at Creative Collective are inviting people to take up a new craft! I'm giving it ago, why don't you?
