I’ve just moved to New England after a year in Australia and am lapping up all the autumny-goodness this time of year has to offer. The colors and crispness surrounding me had me all inspired to whip up a few cosy accessories for the season, namely scarves! A girl can never have too many right? They always fit, and make great gifts for girlfriends. Knitting a scarf is lovely if you have the time and skills (both of which are debatable for me!), but it’s not the only way to make your neck cosy. Why not try these no knit scarf tutorials?

Using little colorful scraps of fabric I created a funky, freestyle scarf that would also look uber-cute on a little person, and then a quick and easy soft scarf with just the right amount of whimsy added thanks to some yummy pom-pom trim.

Add your own flavor to these ideas by mixing up the color or shape, making it perfectly ‘you’ – then make a couple more for your friends and go out on a pretty fall day and jump in piles of leaves!

May your necks stay nice and warm!

Scrapbooking can be a costly little hobby. What with all the trendy papers, embellishments, stickers and those must have tools, a girl can do some serious damage to the monthly budget.

With winter chill keeping us inside everyday – taking the time to visit the outdoors and think of the creatures who live there is a fun activity for the whole family.

The shops are already far too crazy for my liking. The holidays are all about spending time with your family and being cozy right? Well this year I’ve come across a great way to do both these things while still crossing things off my list – namely the children’s stocking stuffers!

I’m ashamed to admit that last years Christmas cards went out somewhere around the 22nd of December - not even a magician could make them arrive in Australia for the big day, what with the time difference and all.

Make your head happy with one of these easy-peasy hairbands! While clothes can be fickle, hair accessories are always your best friend – cheerful, fun and always a perfect fit – especially when you make them custom to your size and need.

Most days I’m not even sure what day it is, so I’ve made a pretty little reminder clipboard for my nurturing plans.

December is upon us – and plans for a great pile of handmade gifts get thrown in the ‘too hard basket’! How about a quick , yet heartfelt and partly handmade gift instead?
