Amazing Blog

Sitting online browsing (far too late) I came across this blog site. This is far more arty and crafty that I could ever be (I don't have the patience for the more complicated items)... but hey, we can all dream.

My New Favourite Way to Recycle...

I like to think we do our bit in recycling and reusing items - we use my green, brown, blue and purple bins correctly and we use freecycle to give our unwanted items another life. However, a friend recently told me about Cash4Clothes, a place that will take your old clothes and shoes off your hands in exchange for cash! OK, so I realise my old stuff if not going directly to charity, but it keeps it out of the landfill and I have a little bit in my pocket - in these economic times who is going to say no to that! At 50p per kilo, you are not going to make a fortune, but some old chunky shoes from my mum added to the weight of my bag!

Redecorating

Hanging Hearts

I have, over the last week or so, redeorated my kitchen. After painting the walls in Dulix Daffodil White, I felt it needed a some accessories to make it look a bit more homely. Using some bits of fabric and ribbons I made some hanging hearts. I also tried my hand at decoupage for the first time and revamped some little bits of furniture. The results are on my Crafts and Projects page.
