• 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…

• Sewing (more) things

  In follow-up to my previous post Sewing Things… I have added a few more items to my list of things I have made with my machine. I can safely say I am getting back into the swing of sewing again after 20 years away from a machine.

• 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…
