Instacrafting/ crafters and DIY

I set up an Instagram account a few  years ago and promptly forgot about it until some months ago and began browsing and got hooked enough to start posting, mainly about gardening.  I noticed some DIY crafting posts and began following them as I had always knit/sewed/made and done etc as many of my generation did because we had to , to look after a family and make ends meet. It was immediately very clear this new generation of crafters enjoyed the creativity and colour in each DIY project they did
My monks bench was vintage white with a pale grey stencil, after looking at the colour and style of Joanne Mooney whose blog and instagram  account A PROUD HOME has won followers and awards I stepped outside my comfort zone and went for Petrol in Colortrend paint and some mad colours in cushions
 of the plain greys I had originally intended!                                         



 Another award winning Blogger is Catherine Colton better known as Dainty Dress Diaries, Catherine had made a Pom Pom cushion in one of her Youtube videos, Joanne began making multi colored Pom poms and when I saw wool on sale in Aldi the idea of a brightly colored Pom Pom
cushion took shape and quickly became this technicoloured triumph
Catherine has a huge number of how to videos on her YouTube channel
Vintageirishkat, the clue is in the name

, all things vintage, craft orientated and some hilarious videos are the hallmark of this Instagrammer ,Katrina. These are some Christmas tea light holders made from sticks, which look fantastic and for free, Just one of many craft ideas !


 Wioletta Kelly of Abbeyfeale Interior Design and another Instagrammer craft and DIYer, these lovely gnomes are made from a Penny’s sweater!
 Next a UK crafter and DIYer with a huge following on her YouTube channel, these rust effect letters were inspired by one of her many how to videos, Kasie Barton.
Aileen from Shabby.ie for all things paint effects, moldings and decor ideas and live how to videos
Joanne Condon author of Furniture Crush, painting not just furniture but PVC doors and windows and would probably give yourself a coat of paint if you stood still long enough!

 These are just a short sample of some of the Bloggers and Instagrammers I look forward to seeing new posts from. Spring is in the air when we all look forward to refurbishing our homes and look for new ideas so give these ladies a look see on Instagram, you won’t regret it ( or maybe you will when you get hooked on DIY) 
I would tag everyone and make it simpler if I could but I haven’t got the hang of those technical thingys

Dia duit Is mise Gráinne Mc Elwain Táim ó Chluain Dolcáin na hÉireann ach táim ag bogadh go Londain le mo fhear céile agus gortaíodh agus briseadh croí orm nuair a tháinig fadhb mhór chun cinn i mo phósadh seacht mí ó shin, idir mise agus mo fhear céile. chuir sé an cás chun na cúirte le haghaidh colscaradh. Dúirt sé nár theastaigh uaidh fanacht liom arís, agus ní raibh grá agam dom a thuilleadh. Mar sin pacáil sé amach as an teach agus chuir sé orm féin agus mo pháistí dul trí phianta tromchúiseacha. Rinne mé mo chuid deiseanna ar fad chun é a thabhairt ar ais tar éis go leor déirce, ach bhí gach rud míshásta agus dheimhnigh sé go ndearna sé a chinneadh agus níor theastaigh uaim é a fheiceáil arís. Mar sin, tráthnóna amháin, nuair a tháinig mé ar ais ón obair, bhuail mé le seanchara liom a chuir ceist orm faoi mo fhear céile. Mar sin mhínigh mé gach rud dó, agus mar sin dúirt sé liom gurb é an t-aon bhealach ar féidir liom mo fhear céile a fháil ar ais ná cuairt a thabhairt ar theilgean litrithe darb ainm DrIgbinovia, toisc gur oibrigh sé dó freisin. Mar sin níor chreid mé i litriú riamh, ach ní raibh aon rogha agam ach a chomhairle a leanúint. Ansin thug sé dom an seoladh ríomhphoist doctorigbinovia93@gmail.com den chaip litrithe a thug sé cuairt air. Mar sin an mhaidin dár gcionn chuir mé ríomhphost chuig an seoladh a thug sé dom, agus dhearbhaigh na riachtanais litrithe dom go bhfaighidh mé mo fhear céile ar ais an dá lá. Ráiteas iontach !! Níor smaoinigh mé riamh agus labhair sé liom agus dúirt sé liom gach rud is gá dom a dhéanamh. Ansin an mhaidin dár gcionn, mar sin iontas, d'iarr mo fhear céile nár ghlaoigh orm le seacht mí anuas orm a rá go raibh sé ag teacht ar ais. Cé chomh hiontach! Mar sin bhí sé mar sin tháinig sé ar ais an lá céanna, le go leor grá agus áthais, agus ghabh sé leithscéal as a dhearmad agus as an bpian a chuir sé orm agus ag ár bpáistí. Ón lá sin i leith, bhí ár gcaidreamh níos láidre anois ná mar a bhí sé cheana, le cabhair DrIgbinovia Mar sin rachaidh mé i gcomhairle leat má bhíonn aon fhadhb agat teagmháil a dhéanamh leis. glaoigh air nó cuir leis é ar Whats-app: +2348144480786 a bhuíochas mór do Drigbinovia ..!

Táim an-sásta mo thaithí a roinnt anseo, is é Brenda an t-ainm atá orm agus bhí mé pósta go sona sásta. Go dtí go ndúirt mo fhear céile go raibh mé ag caimiléireacht air, ansin thángamar ar bheirt lánúineacha, ní raibh sé in ann a chreidiúint, ní raibh muinín agam as mo chuid focal mar sin chomhdaigh muid le haghaidh colscartha. Rinne mé iarracht bogadh ar aghaidh ar feadh i bhfad, ach ní raibh mé in ann fanacht gan é, agus mar sin thosaigh mé ag iarraidh mo fhear céile a fháil ar ais, agus ansin cuireadh mé chuig an Dr. Is fear mór a tháinig mé, chaith sé seal grá agus d'fhill sé ar mo fhear céile laistigh de 24Hours. leis seo, táim anseo chun teagmháil an Dr. IZOYA a roinnt, a shroicheadh air trí drizayaomosolution@gmail.com. Is cinnte go bhfuil sé cumhachtach agus go bhfuil sé ag plé leis na nithe seo a leanas ...
(1) Séasúir ghrá de gach cineál (2) Scagadh ar stad (3) Deireadh a chur le neamhshuim. (4) Cabhair Spioradálta a bheith de dhíth ort.

Faux Stone Trough

Image
The word faux is a really nice word,somehow it does not seem to mean false, just a kind of copy! I had read about making these stone looking troughs or flower pots and again it was on my list of things to try.With my supply of donated flower pots I decided this was as good a time as any.The first pic is of the completed trough or tub filled with compost waiting on plants. I began with a plain white plastic tub, it does not have to be white it can be any colour.Glue ,I used PVA which was painted on thickly and left to get tacky and either sand or I used a mix of small stones and sand, sold in the builders suppliers as 'filling'. It is not a quick job to do as each side is pasted, shake on the sand thickly and press down to dry, I also did the opposite inside edge. I left it overnight each time but if it was sunny and warm it would probably dry faster.The first side drying, when it is dry shake off the excess leaving a thin covering. The final application and it is completed onl...

Solo Travelling in Iceland

Image
The Northern Lights/ Aurora Boreallis were on my bucket list for a while and I decided this was my year to tick them off, especially since Icelander Icelandair are offering very good rates to fly from Dublin to Reykjavik.  The photos are uploaded in no particular order, it was cold so layers of clothes and waterproof walking boots were in order! I had booked my flights back in May, booked my B&B through Booking.com, prices in Iceland are more expensive than at home or most places I would think!  I had also booked an evening tour to see the Northern Lights on the Sat night, pick up at 9 pm from the BSI bus Station which as luck would have it was only about 7 mins walk from my B&B also very handy getting from and to the airport.  Reykjavik is a colorful city, brightly painted homes, most of which are of this corrugated exterior presumably for insulation? Heating, all of their hot water and electricity are supplied from Geothermal springs, which are harnessed...

Tumbling Pots

Image
I have seen these tumbling pots in magazines and blogs from time to time, the latest being in KeeWees garden , having got a number of terracotta pots from one of my daughters who was clearing out her shed I decided to give it a go!They look stunning when the flowers have settled in, I had toyed with the idea of putting in strawberry plants which would also look great but having grandchildren around I don't think I would have a lot of strawberries from it! You need terracotta pots with one central drainage hole and in different sizes. First I had to go to B&Q to get the metal rod to support the pots, I also got the pansies there. Place the pot where you intend to leave it permanently as it cannot be moved easily once completed.Place the rod through the drainage hole and fill the pot with compost, it is easier to fill each pot as you go and firm down well. Slide the second pot onto the rod through the hole, this one will rest partly on the compost as well.Slide the remainder of t...
