• Socialising: Photo fun with Instagram

  Do we really need another social media photo sharing site… It’s hard to keep up these days isn’t it? I’ve been having a lot of fun with Instagram (and Tumblr, wordpress, facebook, Pinterest, twitter, google+….). How do they all differ, and what’s the point of them all, I here you ask? Well, this might help……

• Upcycling: egg carton muffin box

  I guess you could call this Part II of Upcycling: Transforming garbage. I have ‘a thing’ about throwing things away that can be used for something else – it drives my husband crazy. All around our house you’ll find items I have saved from the trash that are being stored until I get around to…

• Rocking horse transformation (I need help with a name!)

  I stumbled across Heidi’s Christmas present by accident last year. I was returning to one of my favourite places to waste a Sunday afternoon… The Mill Markets with the intention of buying an old wooden Pinocchio I had spied on my last visit (It was to become another addition to Heidi’s nursery wall). I didn’t…

  It’s official, salvaging furniture from the side of the road and restoring or transforming it is a hereditary trait.

• Christmas decorations sorted, here’s a sneak peek…

  It was time to change my Christmas decorations, so I started a Pinterest Christmas board for inspiration. I then waited until we moved into our new house to get a feel for the place before I bought anything. I think I have everything for the new look this year it’s not on a tree, or…

• On the first day of Christmas… I finished my Christmas wreath!

  On the first day of Christmas my true love said to me…. “Now we’ve moved house can you finish off some of these crafty projects you have started (and never finished)!” Amongst the box unpacking (we moved into our new house last week… you can visit my blog about building the house at www.lot271.com) I…
