How was your weekend? Mine felt like the calm before the storm as my life returns to normal this week (back to work & routines!).  I spent some time working through some of the WIPs in my knitting/ crochet basket whilst listening to podcasts. Completing sleeves and working on a new crochet project.

 

I also spent a wonderful afternoon reading some new to me magazines, zines & a couple of fabulous books including Spoonful zine, Interwoven the new collaboration between Quince & co. and 3191 miles apart and the first few pages of Design * sponge at home.  I caught up on issues 3,4 & 5 of Mollie Makes and was so pleased I had subscribed to this very new magazine. Would you like to take a peek? 

Firstly issue 3... and lots of colourful crochet 

 

An easy sewing project, which I have already tried... 

 

And some great home finds (I love the japanese cuties)

 

From issue 4... a British seaside home tour 

 

A cute felt love birds tutorial 

 

From issue 5... crochet vegies

 

I was really impressed with the 3 issues and thought that the balance between tutorials, home, inspiration, interviews and handmade finds was just right so I didn't feel overwhelmed with a huge number of projects I wanted to try or that the images presented in the more inspirational photo shoots were too unrealistic for me to ever use in my life.

Have you seen a copy? What did you think?

In Australia I know magnation are stocking the magazine but do not have issues 1 or 2. Are these available anywhere?
