More Craftiness...

Fun designs of fun things!

This Bag is simple and fun to make!
A simple skirt made of stretched denim and felt pockets!

Bill and Toni's...

The greatest restaurant in the world must be Bill and Toni's. My Auntie Lucie's birthday is being celebrated here, and, being a place where my Dad went when he was little with his sisters and parents, he talked about old times. I ordered schnitzel with cheese and got stuffed. I recommend it for it's delicious dinners and gelato's. I wish I lived there!

Thinking Places...


The Bathroom: A place to feel silence, because people think your on the toilet.
Your Bedroom: Just sit and lie and sit and lie.
Tree House: Hold onto a branch and swing with the wind in your ears!
Flower Power Shop: Sit in the front area with the inside plants and read a book or two in the basket hammocks that are sold and on show.
In The Bath:  A comfortable warm place that makes you want to go to sleep.
In The Garden:  A place to sit in the sun with a hat on and breath in the air of warmth.
The Beach: The best place to hear the waves crashing and roaring with the seagulls flying.

Craftiness.

Our website was created all because of a sewing machine for a birthday present. Our OOMPALOOMPAH website will carry LOTS of photos of stuff we've made. Every month we will put up a whole lot of photos of art and new household items we've made. Please make comments on our work underneath each new post. Here are some more photos:

 Simply made by sewing up three and a half sides of the cushion inside out then putting in the stuffing.


 Using felt on calico.


 Just using simple material with felt pictures on the back.


 A super snuggly beanney.





Sewing patchwork squares up with calico insides.


The zig zag quilt is perfect for boiling summer nights.





A simple apron with felt pictures sewn on the front and down the sides.

Hockey






Hockey is basically the coolest sport around. I do Hockey every Wednesday afternoon with BRIARS. We won almost every single game last year (Apart from one right at the beginning and another from a draw.), and this year we are still smashing our sticks. Our team is maroon and yellow, and the team we were versing were in the Grand Final with us, but we smashed them. This guy pictured is going in for a tackle for a final goal, and really helped us win the Finals. HAPPY HOCKEY GOING!

Hapkido






I am a green belt in Hapkido (If you don't realize it's a martial art). I train hard for two or three days a week. On the left side of the photo is master Kim (he is my favorite!), the one next to him is called master Ryoo. See those red weapons behind us? Well they are our special pads for kicking.

New (old) typewriter.....




Our dad found us an old Olympia typewriter. It works and it's fantastic, we write lot's of spooky stories on it, and we also have friends on it that take up hours of play for writing. We found it next door in a throw out, and we fixed it up and it's sitting on our desk ready for use.
this is Oscar our dog with our chicken, Maisy. They are eggsellent buddies.
