My AliExpress Wishlist for scrapbooking

Hi there,

I personally love shopping at AliExpress, it’s my number one favourite store. It’s not just the amazing prices but the items are quirky and full of colour and generally, AliExpress sells items that are unique and hard to get elsewhere. 

So let’s jump right in. Yes, I admit, my cart is always full because once I buy a few things then I relook down the track at what else I would like to buy. I also really like the ease of the online shopping process with the app. There are some online stores that I have no fun when going thorough their online store, so I generally just leave.

Alright let’s begin going through my scrapbooking AliExpress wish list: 

Normally, I have general themes when I am browsing and currently it’s a Chinese theme. 

Check out these washi tapes. Absolutely stunning Chinese  style drawings on the tapes. Great for scrapbooking. I also like the larger size which can create the theme of the scrapbook page. https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DB7e1Cz

This time scrapbooking paper is very cool and could be used as a vintage theme: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DFPJyIH

This retro type scrapbooking paper looks delicate and just different. I really like it: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DezUzOD

This 12 piece traditional Chinese style washi tape is also a must: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DFy1613

To go with the vintage scrapbooking paper above, this is 100 pieces of vintage paper: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_De684GD

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 ...

Why you should scrapbook

  I have only been doing for scrapbooking for about a year but I absolutely love it. Here’s why you should take it up: Photos  So I got a new phone and lost about half of my photos and videos from last year, even though I am paying for the iCloud. It’s ok, it’s just a harsh reality of using technology. I also save my photos to a hard drive, another downfall because that could break and then all my photos will be lost. So what’s the best way to ensure photos are kept - by printing them. I really believe this. And then worst case scenario if you have a fire and lose your printed photos, you still have the photos electronically and you can start again.  I worked out that for about 12,000 photos at 10c each to be printed, it will cost about $1200. But 12,000 photos is a lot and you would have to go through the ones you actually want to print which could drop it by half and that’s now $600.  Now you don’t have to pay for it in one large hit and to be honest the printing s...
