With A Merry Heart
I enjoy cultivating my green thumb, and ♥ to spend more time outdoors in my garden!
I have now discovered that I ♥ to sew! I enjoy recreating pretty patterns, so if you know of some great ideas, let me know!

Great idea! Use stacks of pallets for a table!
HOW TO ORGANISE YOUR STOCKINGS & TIGHTS
It’s now coming into the winter months in Australia, so time to pull out the coloured tights! Though it’s a little hard to choose when I cant see what I have!
- My first attempt at organising was to use small zip seal plastic bags, which ensured the tights didnt get caught on anything and create rips. Though I still found myself rumaging through the box, and not returning said tights back into their packaging.
- So on eBay I found these lightweight sock/underwear organisers (for only $1.98 each!) They fit into your drawers or can be placed on shelves. This way I can see the colours & types clearly and know what to choose !!

DIY Decorated Clipboards - I got sick of looking at the plain old Masonite clipboards, so I decided to decorate them. It’s easy, simply cut out scrapbooking paper to fit onto the clipboard. Apply a good base coat of MOD PODGE then place paper on top. Allow to dry for a couple of hours to avoid wrinkles and do a good TOP COAT of the podge to seal!
I had recently re-covered a canvas with some new material for my mum.
With the leftover material I made a simple Pillow Case to match! A nice gift for my mum! :)
Elephant Scrapbooking Cards - Since I introduced my mum to Washi Tape, in her spare time she’s put together quite a collection of pretty cards.
My favourite out of these ones is the first image - Elephant & Butterfly. My mum has been taking these to her local school & church and has sold quite a few!
Just thought I’d share it with you, and she’s always after Ideas, so if you know of any great card-making blogs! Please let me know!?
My Sunday School class is up to the story where Josephs’ brothers return to Egypt, this is the story where Joseph puts a cup in his younger brother Benjamin’s’ bag.
So for this lesson I got all excited and thought of a cute take home craft for my kids – Wheat Bags – which are so easy to make!
- I simply cut out a ‘bag’ shape on two pieces of fabric.
- Turn the two ‘bag’ shaped fabrics right side together, and double stich around the edges, turn right way out.
- Pour some wheat into the top of the bag with a funnel, and sew/stich the top up.
- I tied some fabric around the top to hide my horrible sewing there!
