more paper craft

I made 18 of these name places yesterday for our Christmas table. The idea was inspired by Geninne's Thanksgivinng table and quite by chance the template is compliments of one of our favorites here at Miss Woolly....guess who?


and these gorgeous Christmas tags are courtesy of Natascha. I love them, thank you xox

Crafty Melanie

Crafty Melanie of Eltham has been up early and made these excellent snowflake decorations. You too can get your craft on like Melanie and deck the halls with Martha Stewart Living's Xmas 06 issue available at all good bookstores and newsagents. Good one Mel!



PS. While you're at it Mel...how about some of these Floating Ornaments?

Yo Yo Ceramics

Very cute bits and pieces from Yo Yo



They look like plastic but they're ceramic, which just makes them even better!

Larking around the world

Vintage Bunty Comic Coasters


Vintage Milk Cap Fridge Magnets


Vintage Noddy T-shirt

Lark Designs launched in Cambridge, England, in 2004 and are now based in our very own Dayelsford....Australia. All of their gifts are hand made using recycled materials. Fun things like old children's books, vintage dress fabrics, discarded boy's comics and 70's wallpaper. They turn them into one-off mini artworks, perfect for special gifts and ...lets face it, at this time of year everyone needs a few more.....stocking fillers.
Heavenly Daylesford, ahhhh, I love Daylesford.

Happy Birthday Miffy...& Eliza.

Hip Hip Hooray! Miffy is 50. Can you beleive it?
Created in 1955 by Dick Bruna in the Netherlands and first published in 1963 Miffy has taken the world by storm. In 1983 the first 'miffy playgroup opened, in 1992 she featured in 52 short TV films for KRO television. In 2001 we saw the premiere of the miffy musical...and the 100th title by Dick Bruna was published and over the next 5 years Miffy notched up her 200th performance of the miffy musical, introduced miffy 3d animated films for TV, premiered a second musical and was appointed as New York City Family Tourism Ambassador. For a little white rabbit she sure does have it going on (much like Eliza who celebrated her birthday yesterday!).
After a huge redevelopment the V & A Museum of Childhood reopen their doors this Saturday and feature an Exhibition titled 'Happy Birthday Miffy'
If you need a miffy fix amazon have plenty of titles to search through or take a look at the official website.

Awww!

This is Miss Woolly's lovely friend Michelle's handiwork. How super sweet are they? Michelle is new to craftyness and what a magnifcent effort! Congrats Michelle. Now all you have to do is take on Melinda's prolific output. x

December 5th progress report

OK, so I did quite well on the crafty tasks today. I made 6 cushions for my outdoor area using the vintage fabric from Lorne.



Plus, I tried out the Little Bird soft tree pattern and the fabric chain (which is a work in progress) from Moki. I can't decide whether to add an additional colour or leave it green? The green does go quite well with the pink border on the mirror behind.

I also completed another set of bunting.
The only thing left on my task list is the glycerin and the figurines. I guess that's for tomorow!
