Record bowl take two

This time I accidentally left the LP in the car while I browsed in my local Salvos. An hour in the sun within the enclosed car, and voila! Unintentional change dish perhaps?

Pottering around with friends

This week has been wonderful. I have crafted almost every day. As my friend Ruth said on Tuesday (as we did some quilting): "it's the cheapest therapy around!"

Wednesday Consumption Rebellion and I did some book upcycling. I had a battered and falling apart copy of Pigling Bland by Beatrix Potter. Quite damaged in sections, but lovely illustrations. After the previous post and the use I am getting from the Kamahl jotter, I thought I needed a dainty little book for ideas.

After a brief trip to Officeworks for the binding, please meet my new pal:


Some pages have been retained for character, and also as they have delightful sketches on them for Miss 2 to colour. I have some lined pages, some plain pages, and some reused envelopes for pockets for ephemera. I am rather chuffed, and have many more planned, including a little pressie for this girl who has lent me her binder and guillotine! Thanks E! You can see what she spent the day making here. Much more impressive!!

Refashioned dress from vintage t-shirt

Just a quick pic to show what happens when Mum's stripy 1970s/80s t-shirt is handed down to Miss 2...

A tunic dress! The trimmed waistband became 2 pockets. I think I want to do a little capped sleeve, and the neckline needs bringing in, but it's on the way to being perfect!!

Thanks Mum!!
