Weekend DIY - Fabric Floral Rings

One of my best friends from school, who I've known since we were 12, is getting married this Sunday =D!! I'll be away on bridesmaid duty. Let's hope it's not going to be too hot...

To round off this month's wedding related DIY's, here is a cute idea. Turn little fabric flowers into lovely floral ring bands. All you need is ribbon, fabric flowers, and a glue gun!

And June is here! I don't want to shout too loud just in case, but it's sunny, at last =D

This month's photo theme is going to be curiosity.

Weekend DIY - Macaron Coin Purse

Okkie, I know the instructions to these adorable handmade macaroon/macaron shaped coin purses by Joanne of CraftPassion look a little complicated (to me at least!) but they're too good not to share. I think they'd make such sweet little gifts! Or maybe used to hold little gifts...

ilovedoodle by Lim Heng Swee

I saw this incredibly funny image of an ice cream cone...emm...doing its business (!) on Pinterest and just had to find out who the artist was. After a search, I finally landed on Lim Heng Swee's ilovedoodle page.

Everyone poops by ilovedoodle

An illustrator/visual artist based in Kuala Lumpar, Malaysia, I love how his simple illustrations are so fun and whimsical, and sometimes also carry little messages of encouragement.

His little catchphrase is 'doodling a smile' and they certainly put a smile on my face. For lots more of his work, visit his website and follow his doodle everyday project. =D

Weekend DIY - Rain cloud magnet

A cute little make-your-own this weekend. A rain cloud and raindrops magnet set made from polymer clay. The tutorial is actually in Italian, but the pictures are very self-explanatory. It also includes instructions for making the magnetic notice board on which to put the handmade little magnets!

Weekend DIY - Sock Totoro

I love pretty much all of Hayao Miyasaki-san's animations but I think My Neighbour Totoro is my favourite. How could you not fall in love with a big furry forest spirit and a cat bus?

It would be amazing to have a giant plushie Totoro of course, but these sock plushie versions are just as cute, no? Plus they look so easy to sew. Try your hand at making your own sock Totoro plushie!

Weekend DIY - Bunny Sachet

These fabric bunny shaped sachets are just so cute! I love the many different ways which Joanne suggests you can use them: for example, how about filling them with silica gel beads and then popping them in with things you need to keep dry?

More ideas on what to use these bunnies for, full instructions and templates to make your own fabric bunny sachets.

Strawberry Love

I planted some alpine strawberry seeds for my balcony garden last year. They were teeny tiny and the seedlings looked so fragile when they came out.

Well, they grew and grew of course...

This year they flowered and, with a little help, pollinated and bore fruit!

The strawberries are so small, but they taste amazing, really sweet and bursting with strawberry flavour.

Weekend DIY - Shoe Growth Chart

This is such an adorable idea! Use a child's old shoes to make a pretty growth chart by displaying them in a shadow box and labeling them with the corresponding age.
