It was a very good month. Dig in. Every entry is a classic.
Sometimes I think Craftster is getting too straight for my warped wee mind. But then I always find a few new things to remind me that I’m not the only bent one out there.
so, my best friend’s birthday is in a week, it’s christmas, and in a month she is driving to mexico and leaving [...]
Hello everyone
I hope those of you who allow christmas into your lives had a wonderful day. I hope those of you who don’t also had a wonderful day celebrating the end of all that annoying music for another year.
We had a super day with lots of great presents including some super handmade presents which [...]

Finally after much fussin around and technological crises and a short swim in the toilet, I finally have a cross stitch kit online!
I’ve got three ready for sale and they made their very successful debut at the Melbourne Craft Mafia Market.
So the first one online is the Water Saving Cross Stitch Kit. When it’s [...]
It’s the latest piece of gold from Cross Yr Stitches. Don’t ya just love it! It’s a Pat Robertson quote. And looks quite beautiful as a cross stitch if you ask me. Not sure how big it is but it would look pretty cool on a jacket I reckon.
Goodness, it keeps [...]
Why did it take me so long to get around to this?

Goodness me sometimes they all jump out at you at once.

Goodness, it’s taken me AGES to get around to this. So for those of you who missed out (suckers), check out how cool the market was. And I didn’t even take any photos of the vodka!
Oh and for those who missed it, we got CENSORED by MX. Which was bloody hilarious. [...]

I’m excited about the new additions to my house so I’m gonna share with you all. We had some really crappy old oven gloves and pot holders so I have been on the look out for some replacements. And I found some great ones!

My favourite addiction at the moment is bleach stencilling. Not sure if it’s the smell or not, but it’s tons of fun. You can get instructions on how to do bleach stencilling here.
It seems to work best on plain cotton tshirts with a reasonably light colour (not black!). I’ve made a few, [...]
All over the internet you can find pictures of mary on the toast or jesus in your coffee grounds, but THIS is a miracle.
The other night I was making watermelon juice (yum) and while cutting up the watermelon a number of pieces just fell out cause it was pretty ripe.
Including this piece:
I swear that I [...]
I know she’s ‘claiming’ not to have anything to do with it. But a big well done to Julie from Subversive Cross Stitch for getting Anne Coulter to promote your work. That’s fucking ace!!!
