Hoot Hoot. Hoot Hoot. Owl Family.

I like owls a whole lot. I think they may just be the animals that I like the most. Sloths would be the closest competition. However, it is incredibly hard to find a good knitting pattern for a sloth. As such, I knit many owls! They are very cute.

If you would like to knit one of these owls, you can find the pattern here. It is incredibly easy and very fast too. Just how I like my knitting patterns!

My sister Clare even adapted the pattern to make a baby owl. It is quite adorable indeed. Now we have a whole family of owls residing on our bookshelves. Hoot Hoot!

I hope you all enjoyed the weekend! Have a wonderful week.

Bríd Did Découpage.

I covered these notebooks with comic books that I bought in a charity shop for 50c each. They were for my friend Gary who often takes photos for this blog. If you would like to give découpaging a try, Natalie previously did a post about it which you can see here. Have a go! 

 "Swamp Thing" is his favourite comic so I covered a box with pages from an old edition of it.

The shoes below I got custom made at a shop in Venice. Gary is a big fan of "Where The Wild Things Are". He even has a tattoo of it. They are super cool. They're just a white pair of Vans with the image screen-printed onto them. Enhanced Vans I say!

I hope you all have a lovely week!

Bríd Knitted an Egg Cosy.

Worried about your eggs getting cold and shivering? Solution: KNIT AN EGG COSY. You can make an adorable little fellow like this to cuddle your eggs and keep them nice and warm. Isn't it oh so pointless and sweet?

Enjoy the end of summer!

Feather Fascinator!

I made this fascinator early this year for a party I was going to. It was an "Aquarius Rising" party. The dress code was blue and white so I decided to get a bit creative. As I have very little hair, there's not much I can do with it so I like to make things like this to put in it.

This was incredibly easy to make. I simply got a hairband, a selection of feathers and a whole lot of fabric glue. I just stuck the feathers on the hairband and then left it to dry. Voila! I had yet another thing to stick in my hair. 

Hope you're having a lovely weekend!

Journals á la Bríd...

This little decorative idea arose out of a massive bag of stamps I ordered off Ebay on a whim. I mused for a while over what on earth should become of the collection and then this concept struck me. I decided to découpage them onto journals to make them that bit more special. I think they look pretty great for $1 journals, don't you?

Materials needed to make one of these:

1. Paintbrush

2. All-purpose glue

3. Stamps

4. A composition notebook. You can get these at Staples for $1.

Method:

1. Paint a light layer of glue onto a small area of the page and then place the stamps on top of the glued are.

2. Paint over the stamps with another layer of glue.

3. Continue until the whole journal is covered. Et voilá! You now have a vintage and stylish journal to be a home for your thoughts and musings!

Un grand MERCI á Gary Sundt for taking the photos! You are wonderful Gary and thank you for all that you do for me.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone.
