Yes it’s true I’ve done this before (& perhaps with more style).

But, after the recent footstool & stool adventures I’ve had coffee sack craft on the brain. I really got a kick out of combining the sack & the ground coffee. The clock was constructed in exactly the same way as the Flocked Tick Tock.

It’s always coffee time at our place.

I’m planning on making a couple of clocks for the lovely cafe folk who’ve kindly saved the very best coffee sacks for me.

It does need a bit of refining but overall I’m pretty happy with the prototype & shall pick up a couple more clock mechanisms next week.

Happy weekend all.

with the coffee sack, the hook, the machine & me.

I’m taking my own “have a crack” advice & have listed it in the sometimes shop.

If green isn’t quite your thing I’m happy to make to order. Just drop me an email (in the sidebar or the drop down at the top of the page) & we can work together to make one just for you.

I’m super excited about this footstool. I had an original plan which failed & instead of giving up I stuck with it & I think what I’ve ended up with is actually better than the initial picture in my head (& the old vinyl job too).

It was born out of necessity. The little guy had burst the brittle vinyl on one of my vintage stools. I was devastated & set about making a new cover for it.

Made from a gifted coffee sack & using the sewing machine, my crochet hook, and a needle I’ve managed to make something rather profesh & frankly something I would be willing to pay a lot of money for if I saw it in a shop. Hooray for having a crack & being able to make it myself.

I really had to hold myself back with the embellishment … l kept chanting to myself “less is more”.  Hoping I got it right.  I got the thumbs up from The Date which is massive.  His reaction to my makings usually sits somewhere around a vague nod & a grunt.  I got eye contact & a genuine “that is excellent”.

I’ve ever eaten!

Just perfect. Surprisingly light & fresh & completely lovely.

If you’re in Melbourne & looking for a good breakfast & a good coffee … go to Porgie & Mr Jones

& make sure you order the banana bread!

In the laneway on the way to pick up my coffee this morning. I didn’t touch it – I hope it made someone else smile.

They are popping up everywhere.

Do you know where this laneway is?
