    Our Christmas tree this year

    ByRasa Pelham December 7, 2015January 9, 2026

    I was about to say no to Christmas decorations this year (with all that going on in the house), until I remembered it can actually hide all the ugly interiors that we are not able to amend just yet. I picked fairy light Christmas tree for this years focal (and only) Christmas deco for our…

    Project fail: baby trousers

    ByRasa Pelham October 20, 2015January 10, 2026

    Lately if you have been watching me on Instagram, I was knitting for our baby boy some trousers. Although I am really pleased with the chevron pattern I have created, I had an inkling that they might be too small for quite a while. After knitting one leg it became obvious that they are indeed…

    Flower shaped cat toys (with catnip)

    ByRasa Pelham August 15, 2015January 11, 2026

    Recently I made these flower toys for Leia and she loves them! Why flower shaped? Because I thought it would be funny (for me) and cats don’t care how their toys look like anyways. The key ingredient is catnip which makes any toy cat’s favourite toy! In the past when Leia just entered our home…

    ByRasa Pelham July 29, 2015January 10, 2026

    Today I have decided to finally share my experiences in upholstery. I know this may not be the simplest project to start with, but I have learned so much from it! Of course I did not do this alone, my mum-in-law and her friend Mariane helped me a lot with their knowledge. Now looking back,…

    ByRasa Pelham June 11, 2015January 9, 2026

    I finally finished crocheting this lacy crop top that I originally was making for spring. The weather wise it’s perfect! June this year feels more like April :-D. However this top doesn’t fit me any longer (hence my new bump)…So last weekend I met up with my sister in London, she was more than happy…

    ByRasa Pelham April 16, 2015January 9, 2026

    After talking how fun it is to do hand stitching (rather than using sewing machine) I thought I will share what I know about embroidery (hand stitching and hand sewing kind of go hand in hand). You might find that some of the hand stitches that you learned with hand sewing are very similar to embroidery…

    ByRasa Pelham March 28, 2015February 27, 2025

    Since Easter is coming up soon (so looking forward to it!), I thought I will make these hanging egg decorations. Last year I went au naturel with dying the Easter eggs, but this year I have decided to pain my eggs with the nail polish. I wasn’t sure how safe it is to eat the…
