How to know if you have enough scrapbooking supplies?

I love scrapbooking, it is my latest hobby and I love the scrapbook paper, washi tape and stickers! 

I not only have a huge Wishlist at multiple online stores for more scrapbooking supplies but I also fear I will run out of stock soon! 

I have over two full draws of scrapbooking materials. So I decided to work out how long till I run out of stock.

In terms of scrapbooking paper, I have about 240 pages of paper. I only need about 127 sheets of paper to roughly last me a year! 

I have 950 stickers, again if I just use about four stickers per activity that still leaves me a lot of stickers and again, this should last a year or even longer! 

I also have roughly 38 washi tapes. Some are two metres and some are ten metres. Again, that should last me a year.

It’s interesting, because once you start and start creating themes you will want every colour in multiple variations in every type of scrapbooking object as possible. So if you are wondering if you have enough, maybe count up your


 stock and see how long it will last you. Have fun!

Crocheting my first blanket

So I decided that crocheting animals etc is pretty stressful. Not really stressful but not relaxing. A cool end result but I wanted to find something to crochet where I didn’t have to count the stitches or focus on the different type of stitches. So I decided to crochet a simple blanket.  I just wanted to use a small amount of stitches and not count them. I didn’t want to do anything fancy. But I still wanted to crochet. I believe if I could find something to stitch that I could just relax doing than it was worth it. I started googling a simply blanket planet using single crochet stitch. And I found one. It’s simple start off with the first row with a chain stitch and then turn it over and do the rest with a single crochet stitch. Brilliant. So I started crocheting a baby blanket. It didn’t work out. The sides were uneven and the blanket was all different lengths. So I googled and realised after I do a row of single crochet stitches, I have to do one chain stitch at the end before ...

I crocheted my first scarf

  If you are a subscriber to my hobbies YouTube channel @littlemissmel23, last week I posted a video on how to crochet a scarf. I couldn’t show the end result because it was already a long video, so I decided to show you on my blog. I have added the video to this blog post if you are interested in watching it for the pattern.  The final result: The final result is quite good I feel. I did a thin scarf and I ran out of pink yarn so I decided to add white. I’m quite proud of this scarf. I am going to play with the sizing and in particular the width of the scarf.  Now my kids have seen the first scarf, they are wanting me to make them one as well. They even chose the coloured yarn they want. One wants black and then white like my pink and white one pictured. And my other son wants a combination of blue white yarn.  As per the video, I plan to crochet 5-7 scarves for myself so I can wear one each day and change the scarf colour pending the outfit.  Scarf crocheting ...

The negatives of building miniatures

Image by Kerstin Riemer from Pixabay   I feel I have a love / hate relationship with miniatures. And it’s because of this feeling towards miniatures that I can go for months without building miniatures.  Here are the reasons why it can be a negative experience: It falls apart in your hands  When building a chair for example, you hold the furniture in place, count twenty seconds, put the chair to the side and it falls apart.  Or after you have built the first chair, while the second chair is falling apart your hand accidentally hits the first chair and now both have fallen apart.  Now repeat this five times. Glue is messy to work with  Expect glue to be every where. All over your fingers and all over your board. I normally use card board but get embarrassed when shooting YouTube videos at littlemissmel23 and the cardboard has glue all over it from past miniature DIY creations.  Patience when building miniatures  I do not have a lot of it. But when...
