Making quality handmade items from new & upcycled materials + my activities behind the scenes 🐝🏵📸

This little one is on its way to the 8th Annual Wonderland Tea Party for Youth Mental Health on June 11th, 2023

The event raises funds to improve access to mental health support for kids under 12, and has supported families I know, so it has been very important for me to continue to support it over the years. Up until now, I have always donated aprons to the silent auction table. This year, I decided to donate a little pocket-sized scrappie critter though. This one is blue like Alice's dress (on the front at least) & with a flower because of course Wonderland is full of flowers too.

I picked the pocket-sized because they're a great stress ball size, which seemed appropriate. I know I love to carry mine everywhere.

There are a tonne of other items that have been donated, so do check out their page. Also, if you happen to be attending the event & see this one, send me a pic. I'd love to see what this one gets up to that afternoon. 🙃

Today, was a bit of a wet day locally, but it didn't stop us from procrastinating & doing other errands instead of getting some stuff done around the house. It was great to see our friend & artist, Jennifer Holmes who creates lovely art pieces under Harry Tatters Art @harrytattersartco

Jen is at the Kinsmens Park in Smith's Falls again tomorrow & the weather's supposed to be nicer than today, so if you can, do pop in to see her & her gorgeous works.

Upper Canada Village in spring...

I love the simplicity of both dandelions & fruit bearing trees like apple trees in flower in terms of petals & layering that create such wonderful flowers.

I received a lovely message the other day all the way from Australia, to let me know that this little one made it safe & well is already enjoying adventures about the place.

Here is part of the message shared with me below....

"Please meet:

Mr. Mike Wazowski (from the movie Monsters Inc) 😊 so called because of his 1 eye. Named by (name removed). He’s aka Mr. Turtle 🐢 (because the post I originally saw him on said that he likes turtles, and there’s a small one on him 😊

He hangs comfortably on a little carabiner on my bag ❤️😊"

Thanks so much for sharing pics of Mr M. W./ Turtle with me & his names. I love getting messages about my scrappie critters & where they are. 🥰

If you would like to share any pictures of your scrappie critters with me, names & any stories or adventures they have been on, please feel free to message me. If you are happy for me to share here, let me know, as I am only too happy to share here too.

My friend, Stephanie, who is the maker behind The Silver Dragon - Le Dragon Argenté, Precious Metal Geek Jewellery did a nice little post the other day about why she creates & I thought that I would share the same.

Christmas is one of my favourite times of the year, so of course, this one was born. This one is a cuddle sized scrappie, with a piece of green crushed velvet for the back.

Today was quite a productive day compared with the last couple of days. Still no sewing, but I ticked things off my to-do list, which always feels good. Although, as I was writing this, I suddenly realised the things I forgot & need to tomorrow 🤔

This pillow scrappie is one that both of my kids have been eyeing for a while. I love making pillow sized scrappies. This one doesn't have a cover, its all in one, but I'm considering the idea of making some as cushion covers, because I think they'd be fun.

What do you think? Would you like to see some scrappie critter cushion covers that you could pop your own cushion into?

How was your Tuesday?

Mine was interesting. I can't sew still, but I can do research. I've been going through my pictures of things that have caught my curiosity & this one with the mushrooms, keeps dragging me in. Bits of pine trees, mushrooms, bark & naturally mulched up leaves. A wonderful glimpse into a miniature ecosystem.

Well, I've managed to hurt my right shoulder and neck (EDS related), so I'm out of action in terms of doing much behind the sewing machine. This means that for the next little bit, you'll be seeing a real mix of posts from me. 🙃

If you have anything that you'd like to ask me about my work, travels etc, please pop a message in the comments or send me a DM.

I love this pic of Fly with some lovely Hydrangeas we saw the other week when we went on a little roadie. Can't wait to see the colours we saw there, up here.

Good morning!!!

This is Fly scrappie. twoemu and I go on many adventures together & I thought it would be fun to sometimes pop in & say hi & give updates on where we've been & what we've seen.

Last night, we visited The Odd Spot @theoddspotshop in Spencerville for a board game night with the big humans. I was also really happy to see some of my scrappie critter buddies again. Can you find me in the group pic?

The games were a lot of fun, but playing board games is great with snacks. The chocolate chip cookie and hot chocolate also deserve a mention. I didn't finish all of it myself, but twoemu's kids were more than happy to help. 😊

Hope you all have a wonderful day today. The sun is out again, which is lovely. If you pop into The Odd Spot, please say hi to the other scrappie critters from Fly 😀

Additional note:

Did you know that the red mushrooms with white spots are scientifically named the Amanita muscaria, but are commonly known as the fly agaric or fly amanita? Thus, the name Fly

I'm working on some 🥕 carrot pins

This is one of several I'm making. They're all made from small scraps of orange felt (yes, I have a scrap bin for small bits of felt, too) that I have been turning into cute little carrots. I just need to add some tops & the pin on the back.

Update will follow in a few days (or longer depending on when I get them done, as I'm working on these between another project), so watch this space.....

Those who know me reasonably well know that I am a big Alice in Wonderland fan. Most dig out the Star Wars memes, but I prefer Alice.

Did you know that May the 4th (1852) is the birthdate for Alice Liddell, whom Lewis Carroll based his Alice character on? May 4, (1865), is when Alice fell down the rabbit hole. Pretty cool eh? Double the reason to celebrate all things Alice. 🙃

These pictures were taken in October 2022, at a Dali exhibit I dragged my kidlets to in Wrocław that were in the Town Hall.

At the time, I didn't even realise these pictures from Dali's Alice in Wonderland collection were there when I went to see the exhibit. The glare made it incredibly difficult to get any decent pictures at the time, but it was such a delight to get to see them & it seemed very apt to share these two images (in one) today.

Happy Birthday Alice!!!

These pieces are from the Philip Guston Now Exhibition at the National Art Gallery in Washington DC.

Philip is a Canadian born artist who moved to the US. I loved his work & the ability to see how much it changed over the years.

This is just a small part of his exhibition. All of these small pieces would make their way into much bigger pieces later on.

May is Ehlers Danlos Awareness month, so this one seemed appropriate to post this morning

This little pocket-sized zebra scrappie critter has a pocket in front to perhaps pop a little sachet of lavender or a special gem into.

This one will be listed in me online shop (see bio) later today.

We recently went to DC as a family & were very fortunate to see some of Yayoi Kusama's work, including 2 of her Infinity Rooms. This one is entitled Phalli's Field 1965/2017. You only have 45 seconds in the room & there can only be a maximum of 2 in the room at a time. This was the view my youngest took & I really liked the view from her perspective.

Toothfairy pillows!!! These little scrappie critte

Toothfairy pillows!!!
These little scrappie critters have been a favourite for years, especially for those looking for something a little more unique than some of the other options.

I do them in a size that allows plenty of space for a tooth, of course, but also enough space for whatever your toothfairy might bring in return. Each toothfairy is different too, so I try to account for all types. Some like to leave a small note (hand written or typed), a coin, or something else that fits into the pocket.

This little green one was made when I was dreaming of green grass, trees, and plants, whilst we still had a large amount of snow on the ground, so the snowflake pocket seemed apt to include.

This one is available for adoption via my website, which you can follow via the tagged product link.

Here is another little one recently adopted. This pocket-sized scrappie critter has a whale on its belly. I had a small leftover piece of whale fabric in an odd shape that I was able to incorporate onto 3 scrappie critters, one cuddle sized, one travel sized & this little pocket-sized one. The whale ones were in celebration of the High Seas Treaty being signed.

It was lovely to see a fellow artist & friend who is so passionate about the environment, like myself, pick-up this one. 😀

This little pocket-sized ted & black ladybug embel

This little pocket-sized ted & black ladybug embellished scrappie critter has ear loops slightly off centre as I was experimenting with the look. I think I like the way I normally do the loops, but it was good to play around.

This little one is available via my website
