Make your own charging mobile phone holder

Every Tuesday I try to share one of the many crafty tutorials that I find during my online surfing adventures.

This is one of the most ingenious way to recycle and yet useful enough that you will be motivated enough to try almost immediately. I stumbled upon this on tutorial on how to make a holder for your mobile phone while it is being charged. Ashley is such a clever crafty lady in designing this holder that not only looks pretty but is useful too! Do take a peek at her blog Make It and Love It for lots of other fun tutorials.

Animal inspired creations

Over the weekend, my husband and I brought my son to the Collingwood Children's Farm. It was quite an adventure for a 2 year old as the only farm animals (other than the chickens in our neighbour's backyard) he has seen were in books and on TV. To be honest, Isaac was not the only one who was thrilled with the animals. We had fun taking the tractor rides (we got on it twice!), fed the goats and ponies, aww-ed at the cute piglets and had a duck pooped right in front of us. Isaac is now saying that "The duck poo poo" on a daily basis.

As the excitement of the family day adventure is still with me, I will like to share with you some of my animal inspired creations available in either my Madeit or my Etsy shop.
