Halloween Post - Star Wars Edition

As I was looking around for Halloween costumes for the Dragonetts and Hatchlings, I kept favouriting Star Wars costumes.

So here's a post dedicated to our favourite Star Wars Costumes...

Let's start with the Hatchlings -

I am in LOVE with this seller!! A HUGE range of costumes... I had to hide my screen from the Dragonetts to avoid the "OOHH I WANT THAT ONE!!" lol

And what is an Obi Wan without a Princess Leia?

Where are all the pretties?

I'm so sorry everyone, for the recent lack of pretties to drool over.

My computer and I are no longer on polite speaking terms. Computer has turned into a curmuduny old blighter and reduces me to foot stamping teenager!

Currently, I am using my tablet, but it lacks a certain... ease of use let's say, for blogging in the format I use.

So bear with me, I'll soon have this figured out!

Cross Stitch Bliss!

I have been doing cross stitch since I was a very young girl. Starting out with those greeting card ones and working up to big 4ft ones (which I WILL finish before I die... maybe...only been 20yrs, got heaps of time...haha).

And being the eternal child that I am, the 'rude' ones make me laugh like a kid on poprocks and whizzfizz!

One of my favourite designer/sellers is Ark who owns SmallStitchShop on Etsy.
She is responsible for the Whatever Bitch Unicorn that is so popular

Whatever Bitch Unicorn from SmallStitchShop

The one I have my eye on next from Ark (I'm currently and extremely slowly working on a Cyberman *see below* from pickleladyfarm and I mean slowly! Argh!) is a quote from our favourite pilot Wash and his famous dinosaurs...

This Land

This Land from SmallStitchShop

Now. One of my all time favourite geek designers is pickleladyfarm. Her stuff is incredible!!

Here is the Cyberman one I am currently and slowly working on. Lovely pattern to follow and stitch.

Another I have from pickleladyfarm is Police Box Bigger Inside which is also about 1/3 completed -lol- I really must finish things before moving onto the next obsession :D

Police Box Bigger Inside from pickleladyfarm

I absolutely LOVE this one and it's definitely on the ' To Buy' list! One of the most well known sayings of the new Doctor Who series - Don't Blink

Don't Blink from pickleladyfarm

Goodness, I can never die because I have too many projects planned -haha!! Next time I do a cross stitch one, I'll do one with the rude ones I love so much. This one turned into more of a geek post, didn't it hahaha!

BeesWax Wraps from Nicnak

We are moving away from disposable stuff here and looking at more reusable items. 

When you think of reusable in the kitchen, most people think about lunchboxes or Tupperware and the like. But what about cling wraps? I know that in a family of 6, we would use a LOT of cling wrap and to be honest, I never really gave it much thought - terrible isn't it!

So when a friend started making beeswax cotton wraps to replace her cling wrap, I had to learn more.

She uses her own bees wax from her backyard and washed cotton squares of differing sizes. As beeswax is naturally antibacterial, its a great addition to our kitchen instead of chemical filled plastics.

So I had to try it!

We bought frogs, cupcakes and two different stars and off to school they went, with Dragonmumma a bit worried that they wouldn't come home. But it was great! The kids loved the prints and the ease of use (Dragonett Lad not a fan of cling wrap) and a quick wipe and they were ready to go the next day.

Since then, we have gotten some more - the bugs ones are awesome!!

A definite Winner Here!!

You can buy your own at Nicnak (Facebook page) or just have a lookie-loo and tell 'em Dragonmumma says hi!

Welcome Back!!

Hey Fellow Interneters!

As is CLEARLY obvious, I took a long break from my blogs while I was off baking and raising sproggletts and dealing with life in general.

But I am again feeling the lure of my blogs, so will be resurrecting them all again!! WOOT!!

So to start it off for 2015, here are a few things I am currently drooling over!!

From the Store Silly Duffa's comes the most gorgeous skirts!! Here is Over The Rainbow...

I am also catching up with the times and I'm on Facebook now, so I'm adding Facebook links if I have them too - Check out the stunning photos on Silly Duffa's FB page!!

Then we have NiceRiceShop's lovely geeky short Marvel Comic Heroes Skirt

I have this fabric! It's gorgeous!! Can't say I'm a fan of her photo skills, but hey, It's her store :D But that skirt is beautiful!


Well, that should do it for the first post back! I have HEAPS all hidden away in my Pinterest (OH MY GOODNESS!! PINTEREST!!) so will be updating every few days :D
