For the ... Warcraft

-


I am a BIG fan of the Warcraft merchandise. My husband and I play the World of Warcraft games, though haven’t been following the latest expansion with as much detail as the previous games. So, we had been preoccupied with some other games (to Blizzard’s horror) but thankfully Blizzard perked our interest when we heard of the re-release for the original classic World of Warcraft. Also known as “Vanilla WoW”. Once I heard about the re-release my actual response was “what? no way?!” So, this post is for my excitement toward the classic game!

I had some many years ago (while, yes, being obsessed with the game) purchased from a seller on Etsy some warcraft photocopy prints made onto fabric. I had kept these over the years unsure of how to use them in a project. But when I heard about the definite release of Classic WoW, a project immediately came to mind. Afterall, one want’s to be comfy during game play, right? Soo… A pillow!

I used the four square pictures by sewing them into a larger square (quilting style). Then I decided something needs to be added around the edges as a border, as each picture has been photocopied onto plain white fabric, as a way to liven the look of the pillow. At this time when I made the pillow we had decided to get rid of one of our quilts – the fabric just wasn’t the nicest for sleeping with. So a chop chop here and chop chop there (this sounds too much like “old macdonald had a farm” now, pardon me the tune is stuck in my head from playing with our one year old son).

The quilt had this nice tropical look about it with ferns and flora in teal and blue with the occasional bright pink flower. It reminded me of Zul’Gurub so again I thought it would be a good pick to suit my pillow, Vanilla WoW concept and overall admiration towards warcraft merchandise.

After adding these bits, I used more of the quilt to create my backing and pillow insertion. The shape of this pillow is much like a normal bed pillow. I used one as my guide, as we had spare bed pillows in the house. In essence, now this pillow will be good to rest one’s sleepy head on for more dreamy WoW-like adventures 😊


Happy crafting and see you soon in WoW!

Bye-bye.

Last minute Christmas Gift wrapping

Hi All! IT IS ALMOST CHRISTMAS! I hope you all have finished your Christmas shopping, creating, decorating, crafting, baking and anything else that could fit in that list! For us Christmas is already happening. Seeing some people here and there and on this day and that day. Gifts here, laughter and fun over there. For those of you who are pumping out the last few things, in these last few moments or the last day. Here’s some last-minute gift-wrapping tricks and ideas I’ve got. Hopefully throughout the year you may have collected some cereal boxes. These are great for other crafts too – and not just with kids! (New year’s resolution idea maybe? Keep cereal boxes for future craft and gift-wrapping ideas!) I remove the tabs off the top of the cereal box so there is an opening, then wrap the box up with Christmas Paper. Next for a finishing touch using washi tape around the edges of the opening. Then using a hole puncher, press two holes for each side where you can use a match...

Hi All,  Well, it appears after clearing out some small baby food jars, from the last time I mentioned these. I found another place I had stored some jars and thought what is something different I could do to utilise these jars. Hmm..  Well, turns out I found something indeed, and now I am unsure if I would like to give the set away or keep it myself haha. For this crafty project you will need; ·        3 baby food jars, preferably the same size ·        Hot glue gun + extra glue gun sticks ·        3 alternative materials, I used paddle pop sticks, wooden pegs and cinnamon bark tea ·        Scissors ·        Pen With the required items gathered, this is the how to guide in assembly. Jar 1 – First off I decided to cut the paddle pop sticks into two different lengths. After I decided on the lengt...

Butter it up into a pudding...

Hi Everyone! A couple months ago a friend of mine advised how he loves bread and butter pudding and he was learning to make it himself. I recall announcing how I detest bread and butter pudding. Funny enough, bring the time forward to current day and I felt it necessary to update my friend on how I made bread and butter pudding and ENJOYED it. Goodness me. It happened as a result of having a left-over crusty Vienna loaf that was just soooo good, but unfortunately my husband and I couldn’t eat that much bread and now the loaf was slowly going stale. What options did I have in order to not waste it? I wasn’t keen on making it into breadcrumbs as I so often do with other stale bread or bread crusts from when I make “voileipä kakku” (Sandwich Cake – that can be a post for another time. It would be the ULTIMATE in Sandwiches and Savoury Cake Decorating!) and that’s when it dawned on me about bread and butter pudding. Though my initial reaction was ‘ugh no thanks’ I thought well ...
