Audrey saw me sewing with the gold spandex today and asked for a pair of shiny pins.. Boo! Designs to the rescue. I love how these pins only take 30 mins to whip up, still one of my favourite patterns to work with. @boodesigns . . #boopins #gold #handmade #darkdaisyhandmade #sew #sewing #sewingproject #handmadelife #mumlife #bizlife #makeyourowneverything #makeyourownclothes #makers #makersmovement #makersbiz #makersgonnamake #trendykid

Starting a new crochet blanket while I binge watch Forever. I find it impossible to sit and watch without doing something and I've been crocheting so long I don't need too pay much attention. #makeyourowneverything #makeyourowndecor #crochet #crochetblanket #kingsizebedblanketisgoingtotakeforever #yarn #teal #crafter #creative #handmadeqld #ilovewhatido #instahandmade #darkdaisyhandmade

I've taken a break from editing and as I sit here savouring my Chai tea I started to wonder about my socks...random I know...but once the thought was there I couldn't get it out of my head until I wrote it down...So here's todays random thought...about socks 💭 I'm a person who loves handmade, understands the value, the craftsmanship, the uniqueness and the talent that blossoms from making something yourself. I'm often met with looks of 'oh my god why is that so expensive?' The answer is in this one picture. These socks were the first pair I ever made on 3 needles, not an easy thing to learn. That was 6 years ago. I wear these at least once a week, usually in boots. They go through the hot wash, the dryer and they are still going strong. I'm wearing them right now. That is why handmade seems expensive. But when you look at the facts longevity over cheap disposable poor quality products are the way to save our planet from drowning in unrecyclable waste. To all the handmade and creative communities across the world, keep creating! #handmade #handmadelife #handmadeaustralia #instahandmade #makeyourowneverything #makeyourownclothes #darkdaisyhandmade
