These little guys hatched last week...born of glue, tissues, paint and pipe-cleaners. Loved making the little hat. I've seen these hats everywhere and I don't know if it's just me, but stick one on just about anything (except John Howard) and the cute meter rises.I was thinking making heaps more for Easter to sit in little baskets...but have cooled on the idea. I've had a succession of minor craft disasters lately. I found two white lamps (with cream shades) for $10 at a garage sale and decided to paint one a lovely deep gold...everything was going really well...until I plugged it in - instead of a lovely, shimmery gold, the light reflected a murky, patchy, blotchy shadow. Sigh. So think I'll cover them with fabric instead.
Just over a week ago Emma and I had a delightful dinner with Nicole from Craftapalooza on her whirl-wind tour of Melbourne. As we feasted on delightful Japanese food we discussed crafting, blogs, work, books, life and love. Thanks for a great night, Nicole.

Hey Fran - lamps :) gotta love a little craft challenge or 2 :P Were there any temper tantrums whilst taking these pics? ;)
Aaaah it was a great night. Looking forward to seeing you guys again someday!
A cute hat,WITH polka dots! You're right, it doesn't get any cuter. I think they would be great for Easter.
Awww, they're so cute...I love the little hat.
My crfty disasters are too numerous to list, so I won't. Needless to say that I've given up on craft for a while - I need to regain my sanity before I attempt another crafty project!
Hey, can you email me your address pulease?
The hat does indeed add to the cuteness :) Perhaps John Howard's PR person should invest in one? Try it out for a while...who knows, it can't make him any more unpalatable!
I think most crafters have disasters languishing in cupboards all over the world. Most of them just don't admit it.
Adorable !
What cute chicks! I found you by accident. I am just starting to get into sewing and was looking around for practice ideas. These bunnies two posts down are adorable! Where can I get a pattern for them, and what sort of material you used to make them? Thanks! Mihaela
cute looking chicks! Did you make them out of a tissue-type of paper mache? Oh yes, chicks look better with hats.always.
