Quick Update

Hello everyone!

We can’t believe we haven’t updated this site for 2 months! Both of us were crazy busy (it rhymes!) with our lives for the past 2 months. One of us was busy moving nest while the other busy burying herself in books and papers and pens and post-it notes!

But guess what? Our knitting/crocheting fever is B-A-C-K! Hehehe. We’ve already started working on some of our new Amigurumi series!!! Think ninjas and cute & cuddly animals… They’re so cute we really think you’ll like it! *Excited*

Meanwhile, we’d like to open our amigurumi series to your ideas!!! Please drop your comments on what you’d like to see/buy on The Purl Shop (e.g. Amigurumi eggs, Amigurumi handphone pouch, Amigurumi Christmas ornaments, etc.). We’d love to have our inspiration come from you and all our supporters!

Much ♥

The Purl Shop

(PS: Do not hesitate to contact us if you’re interested in the home decor canvas as shown in the photo above. We can make one that suits the theme of your room).

Furniture redo

Last week, I wanted to do something different. I decided to give the 20-year-old chairs at home a whole new look. A fresh look! Something edgier! More attractive!

Here’s how the chair looks like before.

And here it is after the change.

We’re also currently looking out for some unwanted vintage lounge/couch. Anyone knows any from the Perth metropolitan area?

By the way, Christmas is just around the corner!!! Is there anything from The Purl Shop you’d like to put on your Christmas list? =)

Wall decal

Wall decal is a very good way to turn a boring white wall into a beautiful wall almost instantly.

Last week, I was given the opportunity to slightly makeover a nursery. Here’s some picture taken before and after attaching the wall decal.

Ideas for Father’s Day

Here’s a simple idea of what you can do for your father this coming Father’s Day.

1. Cut the letters L O V E on the back of an envelope.

2. Paste it on a piece of A4 paper.

There you have it. A simple way to tell your father that you love him this Father’s Day!

A simple recipe but it taste just as good! A little messy but still good.

Amigurumi

Few days ago, we mentioned about Amigurumi in the survey conducted. If you’re wondering what an Amigurumi is, it is a knitted or crocheted soft toy. Below is an example of a crocheted Amigurumi Bunny. If you’re interested in this Amigurumi Bunny, Contact Us here.

Pattern from Lion Brand with permission to sell finished product.

 

You will be seeing more Amigurumi from thepurlshop in the future!

Makeover

Spent the week trying to makeover the family activity room and here’s how it looks like so far.

Before

 After

Nothing major. No changes to the structure. Just simply painted the wall with Dulux River Rock that gives a textured finish to the wall, hung the TV on the wall and moved a few pieces of furniture around.

Any suggestions on how to further beautify this space?

Hail

“PERTH’S record dry spell ended in spectacular fashion today, with a wild storm dumping heavy rain and leaving over 60,000 households without power.” – The Australian

This morning I had the chance to witness the hail and manage to take photos of the aftermath.

I can see new life growing

Looks like the grass is covered with snow

Meanwhile, here’s a little something that I have been working on.
