I’ve been busy knitting up more projects and forcing myself to finish before I start new things (SO HARD!) my goal for the rest of the year is to use as much of my wool stash as possible #alittlechaos #alittlechaoshandmade #knittersofinstagram #knitting #stashbusting #craftsnotdead #secondhandcraftsupplies
A beautiful custom belt I finished today♥️⚔️ Made from high quality Buffalo leather with the most beautiful vintage finish and heavy duty turquoise conchos, finished with shiny studs, my classic western belt buckle and my signature embossing. ♠️ I had so much fun crafting this one. Swipe for the finished belt 🥀✨ Thank you for letting me be creative with this one once again ✨ #conchos #concha #conchobelt #cowgirl #genuineleather #leatherbelt #leatherwork #leather #rocknroll #craftsmanship #craftsman #supportsmallbusiness #onewomanbusiness #handmade #leathercraft #westernriding #westernbelt #craftsnotdead #buffaloleather #handmade #handmadewithlove

Time for a wash and block and this one can be posted off to its new home! It’s always incredibly satisfying using unwanted or scrap materials and turning them into something fun! #alittlechaos #alittlechaoshandmade #craftsnotdead #sustainablecraft #calendulasweater Pattern by @agasalhosebugalhos
Time for some sleeeeves! Are you someone who takes longer with sleeves than the body? 🙋🏼♀️ Pattern calendula sweater by @agasalhosebugalhos #alittlechaos #alittlechaoshandmade #knittersofinstagram #scrapwoolproject #sustainablecraft #craftsnotdead #calendulasweaterforkids
Black and gold dress with matching skull scrunchy went to its new home for a special little girl today 💀 #alittlechaos #alittlechaoshandmade #craftsnotdead #handmadefashion #sewistsofinstagram
Coffee in my new coffee mug from @seedandbloom and working on some knitting before a small person wakes up. Who else crams in crafting time around babies and children? #alittlechaos #alittlechaoshandmade #knittersofinstagram #craftsnotdead #supportsmallbusiness #scrapknitting #craftingmum
Trying out a semi-turtleneck on the calendula sweater by @agasalhosebugalhos with scrap wool from my enormous wool stash #alittlechaos #alittlechapshandmade #calendulasweater #scrapwoolproject #craftsnotdead #rainbow #sustainablecraft
Friendly reminder you don’t have to spend big bucks on craft supplies. The wool I’m making this jumper with was purchased secondhand from marketplace and my stitch markers are scrap wool because I haven’t found mine in the unpacking 😂 #alittlechaos #alittlechaoshandmade #craftsnotdead #sustainablecraft #knittersofinstagram
Not sure if sorting wool with an 18 month old is stupid or fun. I’ll let you know maybe #alittlechaos #alittlechaoshandmade #wool #knittersofinstagram #craftsnotdead
Kitchen table quilting. For me, one of the loveliest things about crafting is that it happens amongst life. My quilts get laid out on the table or lounge floor, I knit watching a movie with our family or in the car, the creative process is interwoven in life. #alittlechaos #alittlechaoshandmade #sewistsofinstagram #quilting #foxes #craftsnotdead
You never know what customers will ask for next, that’s the fun part! New fabric scissors for the first time in about 15 years!! #alittlechaos #alittlechaoshandmade #craftsnotdead #sewistsofinstagram #skulls
Unfortunately, part of learning is making mistakes. Something I really hate (anyone else want to get it perfect first time?) This jumper for Aiden is going to be my take on a Charlie Brown jumper = zig zag pattern and no yellow 🫣. But it’s my first try at stranded knitting and my tension was waay off so time to frog it back and try again!! #alittlechaos #alittlechaoshandmade #knittersofinstagram #strandedknitting #craftsnotdead #learnknewthings
Sequins. Every where. Anyone else have a growing respect for those who sew dance costumes? #alittlechaos #alittlechaoshandmade #sewistsofinstagram #craftsnotdead
In our house, the kitchen bench becomes a pattern drafting and sewing table! Testing out a pattern I’ve drafted from a customers dress on the cutest fabric with a blue satin lining. #alittlechaos #alittlechaoshandmade #sewing #craftsnotdead #sewistsofinstagram #repurposedfabric
This beautiful table cloth came home from the op shop with me, it’s just begging to be made into a handkerchief shirt. #alittlechaos #alittlechaoshandmade #craftsnotdead #sewersofinstagram #sewistsofinstagram #remade #repurposedfabric
Ok, who has any genius ideas for pattern storage?? Not pictured is the small library of pattern/knitting/crochet/craft how to books 🫣 #alittlechaos #alittlechaoshandmade #craftsnotdead #makeyourown #makersofinstagram #patternstorage
This multi coloured stack of wool blankets (minus another suitcase full) is my stash for sewing ponchos and coats. I think it’s time to get sewing before it takes up too much studio space 🫣 #alittlechaos #alittlechaoshandmade #sewersofinstagram #craftsnotdead #sustainablefashion #secondhandfabric
Studio unpacking!! We have moved into our own little space and I can unpack my boxes (and boxes) of creative inspiration, supplies and all kinds of treasures! I am beyond excited and it’s got nothing to do with the amount of coffee I’ve had this morning #alittlechaos #alittlechaoshandmade #studiospace #craftsnotdead #creativespace #artistsofinstagram
Todays op shop find was a vintage Betty boop sheet! It’s just begging to be made into a cute shirt with ruffles, anyone need one in their life? #alittlechaos #alittlechaoshandmade #bettyboop #craftsnotdead #sustainablefashion #sustainablecraft
This is what it looks like when a visual learner works out a pattern… #alittlechaos #alittlechaoshandmade #craftsnotdead #knittersofinstagram #knittersgonnaknit #visuallearner
Now that Christmas is over I can show you the finished matching dresses I made for some special girls. How gorgeous are they! I feel a Christmas tradition coming on! #alittlechaos #alittlechaoshandmade #sewersofinstagram #handmade #craftsnotdead #matchymatchy #handmadechristmas
My most recent wip is a #calendulasweaterforkids from @agasalhosebugalhos for Aiden to wear next winter using my @bendigopottery wool bowl. Who else has family that knows their craft obsessions? #alittlechaos #alittlechaoshandmade #craftsnotdead #knittersofinstagram #bendigopottery #handmade #slowfashion #secondhandwool
Custom matching outfits for Christmas presents are done! And with not much cotton to spare on the bobbin 🫣 who else is trying to do a million craft things for presents at the last minute? #alittlechaos #alittlechaoshandmade #craftsnotdead #sewersofinstagram #cottonchicken
Making some CUTE matching dresses as Christmas presents. Not pictured is the toddler playing with all my cotton reels… #alittlechaos #alittlechaoshandmade #sewersofinstagram #vintageflorals #craftsnotdead #matchingoutfits #handmadechristmas #smallbusiness
This was a special customwork for my friends from the band @anheimband a while ago... I made a large pendant out of blackened silver for each member. You can marvel at the chains during their performances. 😁 I am always happy to discover these pieces of jewelry in their pictures. 🖤 #samalajewellery #goldschmiedelannig #goldsmith #handmadejewelry #craftsnotdead #craftmanship #bandmerchandise #pendant #blackmetal #witchyjewelry #occultart #darkaesthetic #fichtelmountains
When you unpack a box and find this baby just begging to be made into a summer dress! #alittlechaps #alittlechaoshandmade #vintagetablecloth #vintagefabric #repurposed #craftsnotdead #embroidery #crochet
It’s that time of year for hiding in the air conditioning and making Christmas goodies 🎄 #alittlechaos #alittlechaoshandmade #christmascrafts #handmadechristmas #craftsnotdead
Yesterday I had another wonderful, cozy shoot with my lovely @weirdografie 🤎🍂 Thanks to her I was able to wear this wonderful dress from @bogan.mari and my necklace with the oak leaf fits it so perfectly. #samalajewellery #goldschmiedelannig #goldsmith #handmadejewelry #linendress #craftsnotdead #redhead #shooting #autumnvibes #christmasiscoming #photography #smallbusiness #fichtelgebirge
Who else is beginning to work on Christmas presents? Who feels like they’re behind the eight ball starting this late? I think my creative juices are slowly kicking into gear as I unpack my sewing things and find my fabric stash! #alittlechaos #alittlechaoshandmade #craftsnotdead #craftstash #keepmaking #sewersofinstagram #christmas #handmadechristmas
Some available rings 🤍 The serpent and Skull ring are available too, but Instagram won't let me tag them 🤡 And wearing my bolo tie from my love @dirtylove.leather 💖... of course with a catlady blouse. #samalajewellery #goldschmiedelannig #goldsmith #handmadejewelry #skulljewelry #bonejewelry #witchyjewelry #craftsnotdead #artistssupportingartists #catlady #fichtelgebirge

I’ve unpacked my favourite sewing machine and found a beautiful embroidered curtain I had been planning on turning into a summer shirt!

Working on a special project for my niece’s birthday and watering gardens, perfect spring Sunday 🌼 #alittlechaos #alittlechaoshandmade #craftsnotdead
A Little Chaos HQ is back in Australia baby!! It’s been a few weeks of jet lag recovery and finding our rhythm but I’m finding my craft/creative supplies stash and dreaming of new projects! #alittlechaos #alittlechaoshandmade #craftsnotdead #knittersofinstagram #knitting #repatriation
Adding more embroidery to my overalls…a special letter for my little monster #alittlechaos #alittlechaoshandmade #aidenklaus #embroidery #visiblemending #embroideryart #craftsnotdead
On the homestretch of finishing a project and watching Gardeners world with a chatty baby, what else are saturdays for! #alittlechaos #alittlechaoshandmade #crochetersofinstagram #gardenersworld #craftsnotdead #saturdaycraft
Learnt a new skill: knitting two at a time! Making up some leg warmers for a special friend even though it’s now spring in Europe 🫣 #alittlechaos #alittlechaoshandmade #knittersofinstagram #knittwoatatime #craftsnotdead #sustainablecraft
Autumn colours baby blanket is done 🍁 now to finish the rest of my projects 🫣 #alittlechaos #alittlechaoshandmade #crochetersofinstagram #craftsnotdead
Working with multi-coloured wool is always tricky when you get to a new ball = which color to choose for the join!! Blue or purple?? 🫠💜💙 #alittlechaos #alittlechaoshandmade #crochet #crochetersofinstagram #mossstitchcrochet #craftsnotdead #babyblanket
Little penguin feet next to a pattern trial, what else do you do on a snowy spring day? ❄️🌼 #alittlechaos #alittlechaoshandmade #sustainablecraft #craftsnotdead #crochetersofinstagram
And it's finished! More of those pesky ends to weave in but my stash is considerably smaller now! #alittlechaos #alittlechaoshandmade #stashbust2023 #stashbusting #knittersofinstagram #craftsnotdead #sustainablecraft
Usually my favourite section of a jumper... Anyone else have a favourite stitch? #alittlechaos #alittlechaoshandmade #knittersofinstagram #craftsnotdead #sustainablecraft #stashbust2023 #stashbusting
Another knit top finished, I love the shape of this one. Made using sock wool from the op shop! Pattern is Villeneuve by @espacetricot P.s this top is looking for a home so if you think it should be with you, send a message! #alittlechaos #alittlechaoshandmade #sustainablecraft #stashbust2023 #stashbusting #craftsnotdead #knittersofinstagram #knittop
It's a wet and gloomy spring day here but this jumper is definitely bright enough to make up for it. After a few days of knitting it's growing fast and using up my stash of wool quickly! #alittlechaos #alittlechaoshandmade #craftsnotdead #knittersofinstagram #stashbust2023 #stashbusting #scrapwool #spring #sustainablecraft #sustainablefashion
After using 4.5mm needles on a project I'm now using 8mm needles and three strands of wool. I feel like the project is working up so fast! #alittlechaos #alittlechaoshandmade #knittersofinstagram #stashbust2023 #stashbusting #craftsnotdead
This is my current stash of wool minus a bag of sock wool and a wip. Before we move back to Australia (and my gigantic craft stash) I want to use as much of this as I can. I'm currently working on a chunky knit cropped jumper in the hopes it uses most of it in one go. Anyone else doing the #stashbust2023 ?? #alittlechaos #alittlechaoshandmade #craftsnotdead #sustainablecraft #stashbusting #knittersofinstagram #mystashmarch
Working up a new project to continue with my stash bust. How does everyone manage to be inspired for the wool they are given that's not quite their flavour or they purchased but have since grown out of the colour or style? Feathers wool from early 2000's anyone? #alittlechaos #alittlechaoshandmade #knittersofinstagram #stashbust2023 #craftsnotdead #stashbusting #knittingthoughts #secondhandwool #sustainablecraft #knitspiration #ravelry
Sunday afternoon starting some embroidery on my overalls, because why not. #alittlechaos #alittlechaoshandmade #embroidery #slowfashion #craftsnotdead #embroideryflowers #reworkedclothing #visiblemending
Freshly washed and blocked cropped tank top ready for a new home 🦋 If you need this baby in your wardrobe send me a message for the measurements and $$ #alittlechaos #alittlechaoshandmade #knittersofinstagram #craftsnotdead #stashbust2023 #stashbusting #forsale #handmade #handmadewardrobe #mystashmarch
Not bad for one week of knitting! This tank top just needs a wash and block (see the curl on the bottom) and it's finished ready to find a new home. I've started a new tank top pattern already, can you tell I'm looking forward to summer? #alittlechaos #alittlechaoshandmade #craftsnotdead #knittersofinstagram #stashbust2023 #stashbusting
Scrap wool cardigan/shrug is done! And my wool stash is considerably smaller! Just have to weave those pesky ends in and it's ready to go to a new home 🧶 #alittlechaos #alittlechaoshandmade #crochetersofinstagram #stashbust2023 #stashbusting #mossstitchcrochet #craftsnotdead
Does it count as not starting something new until the current project is finished if everything is sitting there waiting? Asking for a friend 🤭 #alittlechaos #alittlechaoshandmade #knittersofinstagram #knitting #wool #sockwool #stashbust2023 #craftsnotdead
Scrap wool cardigan is growing and my stash is shrinking! I'm itching to start a new project and eyeing off the wool in something I started and never finished... maybe it's time to frog it and start fresh! #alittlechaos #alittlechaoshandmade #wool #crochetersofinstagram #craftsnotdead #stashbusting #stashbust2023 #sustainablecraft #mossstitchcrochet #rainbow #frogit #scrapwool
Another car trip, more progress! Stash buster cardigan in the making. #alittlechaos #alittlechaoshandmade #crochetersofinstagram #crochet #craftsnotdead #stashbusting #stashbust2023 #wip #rainbow #scrapwool #mossstitch
Sewing the ends in on my stash buster jumper with a sleeping baby who thinks I'm the only place worth napping.

Stealing my knitting projects already. Getting so close to finishing my stash buster jumper. Anyone else trying to use up their stash in 2023? #alittlechaos #alittlechaoshandmade #knittersofinstagram #aidenklaus #craftsnotdead #stashbusting #stashbust2023 #knitting #cute
Did anyone else start a new project on the weekend? Even though you already have a few on the go? 🤭 Crochet stitch is Moss stitch #alittlechaos #alittlechaoshandmade #crochetersofinstagram #crochet #crochetcardigan #craftsnotdead #sustainablecraft #mossstitch #stashbusting #stashbust2023
Friday night knitting 🧶 almost finished the first sleeve! #alittlechaos #alittlechaoshandmade #knittersofinstagram #craftsnotdead #aidenklaus #knitting #sustainablecraft
Last year, with the exception of one ball of wool and a tube of paint, I purchased all of my creative supplies secondhand. I plan on doing the same again this year and using my craft stash that has accumulated VERY quickly since moving to Switzerland. #alittlechaos #alittlechaoshandmade #craftsnotdead #sustainablecraft #knittersofinstagram #wool #buysecondhand #stashbusting #stashbust2023
Knitting up the Sadie sweater, car trips = progress and learning some new techniques. #alittlechaos #alittlechaoshandmade #hobbiidesigns #hobbiisadie #craftsnotdead #knittersofinstagram #knitting
Doing some visible mending on Aiden's rattle and he's having a good chat to it as I work. Almost like holding someone's hand at the doctor's! #alittlechaos #alittlechaoshandmade #visiblemending #aidenklaus #craftsnotdead #mendingmatters

Why do sleeves always seem to take the longest? Scrap wool jumper is slowly getting closer to being finished. #alittlechaos #alittlechaoshandmade #scrapwool #sustainablecraft #craftsnotdead #knittersofinstagram #knitting
