DIY: cutlery tray with cutlery silhouettes

My new cutlery tray!

I got this idea some time ago and when I was working on a project in InDesing. I don´t know why but I have always had a problem with left and right. This has made it hard for me to know what side the fork and knife should be on. And there I was doing the dishes and the tray was empty so i could not remember where we used to put the knifes and forks! Then I thought of this simple but elegant solution. So I thought that it would be a great practices to create a DIY about the idea. And of course I wanted to share my guide on to others so here it is!

It has been some time now since I made mine so I thought I would just share that the permanent marker still works great and it has not chipped away yet. Also I just love how simple and subtle it is. And when the tray is full its invisible so you only see it when you need it! Do share if you make one yourself or if you try my idea with the vinyl!

Crochet halloween candy baskets

I really enjoy decorating, crafting and baking for Halloween. Even baked a pumpkin pie! Also I always try to throw a Halloween party with lots of candy of course. So for this year I crocheted candy baskets. Sure they are mostly suited for paper-wrapped candy but that´s a small price to pay to have such cute baskets. I made a simple candy corn inspired basket. In Sweden we don´t have candy corn but the colours are just so much Halloween and it will work great for Easter as well! Of course my cat could not leave the wrapped candy alone. She is really crazy about all things that makes rustling noises.

My second basked I actually crafted for saint Patrick's day. But I think it also works great as a witch cauldron. I´m also really pleased with how it turned out so I love using it. Usually it stands on my TV bench at the end of my Nyan cat made out of pearl beads filled with my various Hama bead coasters.
