How to store washi tape

It’s been about a year where I have a draw full of washi tape but it’s all everywhere. It wasn’t until I was given a wooden cutlery draw filled with cutlery and after I took out the cutlery, I nearly chucked it and then I thought I wonder if my washi tape could fit in here and I wonder if the cutlery draw could fit in my washi tape draw. So I took a brave step and decided to give it a try. 

I took all my loose washi tapes. Some came in packs in circular containers but I had emptied them previously because that was annoying to get one out from the bottom of the container each time. 

Picture of the cutlery holder I was going to chuck with my loose washi tapes: 


So the cutlery draw fits the only other problem I have and maybe I should buy another cutlery draw to solve this and repeat the same process and add it to the top. So I can easily see all the washi tape, if I take out one cutlery draw. 

In the meantime, I put the other washi tape on top of the cutlery draw and this is how it turned out: 

It is definitely not perfect. But it’s much better than just having them spread every where in a draw. I do think now relooking at the final picture that adding a second cutlery draw to the top of the first one will be a good idea. 

Do I still want more washi tape? Yes, I love buying washi tape because there are so many different themes for scrapbooking that you can buy them for.

Do I have enough for the moment? Yes, I have heaps. I don’t think I have even finished one tiny roll yet. So it’s going to take a while to use it all. 

Do you have great washi tape storage that works? Please share in the comments below.

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...
