Tick tock goes the clock...

Wow! I don't know where the time has gone. It's nearly the end of July and I've just seen that the last time I posted on here was the 10th! I daresay that trips away and a lack of computer due to it going off for repairs (despite only recently buying the thing!) have hindered any progress made on here. Then again, the time has just simply passed with me not blogging anything. Simple as!

But I've got lots of exciting things to show you which I hop you'll enjoy reading about. Along with some crafty big reveals, I've also got to show you something that has been taken up a lot of my time this  week. I'm actually really excited to show you this so keep tuned and I promise it will be worth it!

Tangle free (and pretty funky!) headphones

Fed up of your headphones always ending up as a tangled mess for seemingly no reason? Want something that sets you apart from the headphone wearing human race that we have become today? Well look no further! With some thread and an evening spare, you can achieve all that and more in no time!

Ok, so enough with the cheesy selling patter. Have a look and see what I've been busy doing to my headphones.

As my Dad said the other day, I've yarn bombed my headphones! Having been browsing on Pinterest for a little while, I came across the idea to repeatedly wrap thread around them much like a friendship bracelet. Not only does it make them look really funky but it also prevents the headphones to get in a major tangle. This is a fact and can be backed up by science due to the thread making the headphones heavier!

I've even created each ear piece wire in a different colour so I know which pod to put in which ear. This is especially good for me as I have a weird obsession with having to put the right ear piece into the right ear. It's easy to remember too. Red for Right!

Ok so it did take me a little while to do but it made for quite therapeutic evening's work in front of a movie. I love little projects like this. Fairly quick to do, a bit of fun that generates a lot of talk which sometimes encourages others to try the same! It's almost like a pass it on project.

So why not have a go yourself?

Crochet weather

I have to say, so far I'm quite enjoying my 'summer' holidays. I say summer in that way because I'm sure you'll all agree that you can't really class it as that. It's just rain, rain, rain almost non stop isn't it!

Still, keep positive and I find that despite the weather, it gives me all the more reason to get cracking on with my summer projects.

Another little update on the cushion I think is due here about now. 

Not too different looking from the front. You might have noticed though that I've added the light blue border that I said I would in the last post. I think that this definitely helps make that patch in the middle less of an accident now!

The big change is on the back of the cushion. As you can see, I'm in the process of crocheting the back in the light blue colour again. So far, I've got the first part of the back stitched on with lots of room for a big chunky cushion to fit in! I'm now in the process of making the other part which will then be stitched and joined together with buttons so I can easily get the cushion in and out. Pretty nifty eh?!

After this, I'll show you the finished piece which hopefully shouldn't be too far away now. I must in the meantime though show you everything else that I've been up to. There's quite a few things that I think will be quite interesting to show! I hope that's enough of an enticer for you to come back!
