• Upcycling – Kids Stool from a spindle

  As you well know I have been known to stumble across a lot of (what many would refer to as ‘junk’) items for my up-cycling projects from the footpath. I stooped to a new low for this one. They were found in the skip at our block, where the builders toss all their house building…

• My coastal walking experience

  I don’t need to be reminded why we have chosen to make a sea change… I have never once had any regrets about moving out of the city, or building our new home. However this morning I welcomed the very powerful reminder I was given about the benefits of a coastal lifestyle. Being such a…

• Heidi’s Nursery – an eclectic crafty heaven…

  Heidi’s nursery (whilst temporary) is quickly filling with amazing hand made items, and gifts – making it feel more like home for her. Knowing that we will be moving in a few months (when our new home is built), I didn’t spend a lot of time decorating her nursery… a) because I will be packing…

• Upcycling – old book pages for a bunting

  I love old books and magazines – it’s our history documented. They should not be kept in the back of the attic, or discarded – we should be reminded of our past, and how things used to be. I have a collection of old magazines and books from various places… I don’t go specifically looking…

• Upcycling – A chest of drawers for the nursery

  

  We inherited a hideous orange coloured wooden chest of drawers when my grandmother moved into a nursing home. It didn’t go with our decor at all, but was sturdy, and the drawers were large, and we needed the extra storage space. I couldn’t let it last a week in my house looking like that, so…

• Robin Red Breast (seed pod) Mobile

  

  I was at mum’s the other day, and on the book shelf were these little, coloured birds placed in an ornamental tree – on closer inspection I realised that these little birds were made from seed pods! Bernice then took over, and began demanding answers – who made those birds? Where did the seed pods…
