I’m doing it 🙌 Time to finish all these half-finished macrame projects 😆
Also if you’re wondering…the project with the wooden rings I broke is a gym mat shoulder strap 😉 So I think the metal rings covered in macrame cord will be much more hard wearing anyway!
What projects have you got lying around waiting to be finished?

I had a market stall at a family fun day this afternoon that I came across through one of my friends 💕 I was a little worried that it was going to be boiling hot, but it was surprising cool and breezy 🙌 with the stalls positioned under the shade of a tree that kept throwing little yellow flowers down around my stall 😆 There was such a good vibe for the whole evening…& there was even a visit from the big guy 😉🎅 I’m only booked in for 1 more market before Christmas (the 2-day PHAM market at Mundaring) so if you have any requests for products you want me to bring there send me a DM 😊 As always, orders can also be posted to you or there are local pickup options both North & South of the river in Perth #perthmarket #christmasmarket #macramemarket #macramemarketstall #mymumthedreamer #christmasorders
Is it about time I make another one of these? I took this video months ago and still haven’t repotted the large succulent in my baby Groot pot 🙄 #plantmumfails #macrameshelf #butterflymacrame #babygroot🌱 #hangingshelf #mymumthedreamer

Basic Macrame Knot #4 (part 1) ☝️ How to tie diagonal clove hitch knots…starting from the left side. 1. Keep the filler cord (outer cord on the left) in your right hand and hold it diagonally over the front of all the working cords. You should always keep hold of this cord in your right hand and keep it straight while you’re working. 2. Take the first working cord (second cord in from the left) and bring it out under the filler cord, then place it over the filler cord to resemble a “4.” 3. Loop the end around the filler cord and bring it through the hole created. 4. Pull the working cord tight, while keeping the filler cord straight. 5. Continuing with the same working cord, tie another identical knot. Place it over the filler cord to resemble a “4.” Then loop the end around the filler cord and through the hole created. 6. Pull the working cord tight, while keeping the filler cord straight.PRO TIP: If you have any strange-looking knots at this point, simply pull the filler cord tighter to make sure it’s straight – this should sort out any issues with the knots.

Those of you who have been following me for a while now have probably worked out that I almost never hit my intended release dates for my patterns 🤷♀️ Is it bad time management? Is it having too much on my plate? Is it spending time doing the little things that don’t move me forward? Is it the regular interruptions from the kids? Is it the fact that despite my best intentions, there’s still clutter getting in the way? It’s probably a combination of all of the above if I’m completely honest 🤷♀️ But…on a positive note…3 of the 5 Christmas ornament patterns are available on my website now 🙌 And the other 2 are coming soon ❤️ Tree ✅. Star ✅ Mini-wreath ✅ Angel - COMING SOON Santa - COMING SOON Purchase the complete set of 5 macrame patterns in the bundle and get a 20% discount 🌟 The complete bundle is available for pre-sale now and the patterns will be emailed as I finish them (3 already available, 2 more to come).

I’ve had quite a few people commenting on my reels lately asking where I get my cord from…so here is the info you’ve been asking for 😆🙌 The cord I use in most of my reels for the knot tutorials is 5mm recycled macrame cord - natural, latte, turquoise, and lavender are the main colours I use in the reels 🧶 I was getting my cord from a local seller, but since she moved away and then decided to close her doors, I’ve started buying from a supplier a little further away, but still local to WA You can purchase this type of macrame cord from @knotknitting - they’re located in Geraldton, Western Australia and ship both within Australia & overseas 🌎 I’ve also written a blog post on where to buy macrame cord & accessories, so let me know in the comments if you’d like me to DM you the link to that post 😉 Hope this helps ❤️#macramecord #recycledcottoncord #mymumthedreamer #recycledmacramecord #reducereuserecycle #wheretobuy #macrameaccessories
I’m curious - do you find it helpful reading the written instructions for knot tutorials?
Or do you just watch the video?
It’s been a long week & trying to get the written instructions down is hurting my head right now 🤯
Let me know in the comments if you like having the written instructions to go along with the reel, or not 🤷♀️🤔
I can always add them in later if it’s a resounding “yes” for written instructions 😆

They’re almost here 🙌 The macrame Christmas ornament patterns are so close to being finished…BUT I’m running a day or 2 behind due to some unexpected cloudy days earlier in the week 🙄 ⛅️ I still prefer taking most of my videos outside as I find the natural light just makes everything look better…Unfortunately sometimes that leaves me at the mercy of the weather 🤷♀️ So here’s a little taster of one of the patterns: the mini-wreath Christmas ornament. Wondering what you can use these for? I have a blog post on my website that covers 5 ideas of how and where you can use macrame Christmas ornaments 🌟 I’ll leave the link to the blog post in the comments 😊#macramepatterns #learnmacrame #theweatherwasagainstme #mymumthedreamer #macramewreath #christmasornament #miniwreath
How to create a single cord braid: I’ve changed this one up a little as it’s actually called a single strand braid, but I thought it looked prettier with 2 strands ❤️ …but, nevertheless, it still only uses one cord wrapped around itself (no need for a second, third or fourth cord to make this braid!) 1. Take the 2 strands and bring them up to the right so U-shape is formed. 2. Cross the strands behind the top section of the cord. 3. Bring the outer strands on the left over the front of the hanging cord. Make sure if you’re using 2 strands that you keep them facing forward as this creates a prettier braid. 4. Bring the 2 outer strands on the right over the top of the hanging cord. 5. Continue bringing the outer strands on the left over the top of the hanging cords, then the outer strands on the right over the top of the hanging cords. Thread the ends of the cords down through the hole where needed. 6. When the loop at the bottom is small enough for the final braid, bring the outer strands across the top of the hanging cords, then thread the ends down through the hole. 7. Finally, gently move the cord around to spread out the loose cord and even it out. Where would you use this braid? Let me know in the comments! I usually have a few ideas of where I would use different knot patterns, but this one I’m coming up empty 🤷♀️🤔#singlestrandbraid #macramebraid #macrameknotting #knotpattern #learnmacrame #diymacrame #macrametutorial #mymumthedreamer

🪴 How amazing are succulents? 🪴 My kids have taken a liking to moving my potted succulents off the table outside & decorating their cubby house with them 🤔 Because I like my succulents and want them to survive…I asked the kids to leave them on the table so they had some sun & I could water them occasionally ☀️ A week or 2 later I take a peek in the cubby house & see a leaf from a succulent resting on the floor…I pick it up & realise that even without being planted that one leaf has started to grow roots 🤯 My son then produces another leaf he knew was in the cubby. Also growing roots…just sitting on the wooden floor in the relatively dark cubby house 🤷♀️ I knew that succulents were fairly easy to grow by planting individual leaves, but I had no idea they could start to grow without even being planted Mind blown 🤯 😆 **The lavender plant hanger can be purchased in my online shop or @perthhillsartisanmarkets **The beaded plant hanger PDF pattern is available in my online shop and suitable for beginners #succulents #macrameplanthanger #mymumthedreamer #succulentsaresimplyamazing #beadedplanthanger #planthanger #planthangerpattern

How to tie a semi-circle knot pattern: 1. You’ll need 2 cords attached using Lark’s Head knots to start, plus 2 more long cords and 1 shorter one to fill the gap. Leave more length on the right section of the left cord as more of this side of the cord will be used to knot. 2. Take the right side of the cord on the left - this will be the filler cord (cord the knots will be tied around). Keep the filler cord in your right hand and hold it over the front of all the working cords (the cords hanging down that you will use to tie the knots). 3. Take the first working cord (next cord in from the left) and bring it out under the filler cord, then place it over the filler cord to resemble a “4.” 4. Loop the end around the filler cord and bring it through the hole created. 5. Pull the working cord tight, while keeping the filler cord straight. This is known as a clove hitch knot. 6. Continuing with the same working cord, tie another identical knot. Place it over the filler cord to resemble a “4.” Then loop the end around the filler cord and through the hole created. 7. Pull the working cord tight, while keeping the filler cord straight. 8. Keep working until you reach the right side. Then attach the cord to the bar using another Lark’s Head knot. 9. Attach another cord on the left and repeat the process. This time adding an extra cord in the centre to fill the gap. Attach this extra cord using a Reverse Lark’s Head knot. 10. Secure the other end of the filler cord with a Lark’s Hear knot. 11. Continue adding more cords to the bar and filling any gaps with shorter cords until you reach the desired size. **Please note my website is currently under maintenance, but will be back with a whole new look soon** #learningmacrame #semicircle #semicirclemacrame #macrameknots #clovehitch #clovehitchknot #diymacrame #mymumthedreamer #macrametutorial#learnsomethingnew #mindfulactivity
⬇️ Read mine below ⬇️ I’m not one to watch tv while macrame-ing (that’s just too much for me to concentrate on 🤯), but give me a good podcast & some earbuds & I’m set ☀️ What have I been listening to lately? 1. The Proof with @simonhill - I am loving this atm ❤️ I came across it recently because Simon was interviewed in an old episode on another podcast I listen to. Learn more about eating a plant-based diet, mindset, living a healthy lifestyle & other related topics 🌱 Or, if you’re like me, get re-inspired to try new plant-based recipes & lessen the amount of dairy products that seem to have crept back in 🤔 2. You’re in Good Company ( @yigcpodcast ) - An excellent one to listen to if you want to know more about investing. It’s mainly directed to women in Australia wanting to get started with investing (so if you fit in that category definitely have a listen!) but still informative regardless of where you live or what sex you are 💕 3. Crochet Business Chat @crochetpreneur - Another podcast I only recently came across. Pam gives so many great tips for people wanting to make an income from a handmade/craft business 🧶 I’m realising that there’s a better way to do a lot of the things I was already doing, and between her podcast & YouTube channel there’s links to a few helpful tools & resources #spotifypodcasts #whatimlisteningto #macramemakers #mymumthedreamer #theproofwithsimonhill #youreingoodcompany #crochetbusinesschat #informativepodcast #neverstoplearning #macramecommunity #plantbasednutrition #thecrochetpreneur #crochetersofinstagram
