AboutHello, I'm Beth.
It's lovely to meet you! I’m afraid I’m not actually a little grassbird with the ability to make things. I’m just a common or garden variety human living in Castlemaine with my partner and our two cats. It’s a bit of a disappointment, I know.
It can be a pretty sad and stressful world we live in. I’m here to cheer it up for you with cute and quirky needle felting, embroideries, cards, jewellery, and other fun bits and bobs. What’s that, you prefer making things yourself? No problem! Have a stab at one of the DIY kits, or come along to a workshop. I love seeing what you make! Please do tag me @littlegrassbird or use the hashtag #littlegrassbirdmakes so I can find your amazing pieces. You can find out a bit more on the appropriately titled about page, or check out the blog. |

GET YOUR DIY ON
DIY pattern weightsI was going to write this week’s blog post on the blue dress (you can see it in all its deconstructed glory in 'Goals for 2018') which I had planned on making this week, but it’s been so hot here that there was no way I was going to get out the iron if I could avoid it. Instead this week I've written about the fabric covered pattern weights I made.
