• 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…

• 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…

• 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…

• I have completed my Kitchenalia wall [collection of red vintage cooking utensils]

  I’ve mentioned in an earlier blog a quirky habit of mine… collecting antique (or they could be better described as ‘vintage’), red cooking utensils. I had been talking up the great finds I had made over the Christmas break, and have found it necessary to share with you the finished product. How do you know…

• Creating a canvas – why not use patterns?

  Decorating the walls in your home is a very personal thing – it’s like choosing an additional housemate, because you have to live with your decision every day. I found myself being so particular about size, colour and mood of my wall decor that I end up making them myself. The decision to do so…

• Who needs crystal animals when you can collect red, antique cooking utensils?

  

  There are a lot of Kitchen utensils (more than 4000…) and they have some very strange names, and purposes (and my husband is very concerned about this). He is concerned because about 2 years ago I started collecting red antique kitchen utensils to hang on our kitchen wall. It started off very casually at first,…
