Crochet LOVE

Recently (like in the last 2 weeks) I have learnt to crochet.
I can only do some simple stitches but I must say I have fallen in love with the simple methodical way of just sitting and using a needle and wool to create something.

I love this simple blue envelope crocheted out of a square... and the blog is so cute too. Click on the pic to go to the blog :)

Chickens

I've been wanting to own some chickens for some time now but been reluctant of how the coop will look. But after seeing these pics I think I maybe sold on these very nice upscale coops. No unsightly bare wood and chicken mesh/wire to be seen anywhere!

Take a look at some more designs here

Citrus Kindling

I love this idea. Take some orange or lemon skins (or any citrus fruit skins) and allow them to dry out for a few weeks. Then place in your kindling when you light your fire and you will have a pretty smelling fire.

I found this idea on the Real Simple website. They have so many ideas to making life easier and Simple. Go check it out here

Plants in cute muffin tins

Loving this cute idea of taking old muffin/cupcake trays and putting pretty plants in them.
Would work well as a gift for some one who likes to cook if filled with herb plants :)

Palette Outdoor Couch

Some people have such good ideas... I wish I had thought of this one :)
I hope to attempt to make my own version of this couch for our outdoor area. I can just see us now lazing in the sun on a warm summers afternoon, reading book and drinking juice - aaah bliss ... can you?

Of course I would do it in a different colour - peach just isn't me.
