round and round we go

 
I found a big bag of these at my local Vinnies.

 
They were too good to leave behind.

 
So I used some scrap wool to crochet around them.

 
Now I have a bit of a head start on Christmas decorations.
 
When do you start making your decorations?
 
What have you re-made from supposed junk?
 
What have you been up to?

not your average nana

 
I picked up this great but ratty stool at a garage sale.
 
When I posted a photo of it on instagram
the main response was "my nan had one of those"!

 
 I never met my nan but
 

 
I like to imagine she was a fun and funky nan

 
so I hope she'd like what I've done to the stool.

let there be light ........or maybe not

 
One of my favourite Vinnie's had this light fitting in their shop.
It sat there winking at me every time I went in there .
Unfortunately I don't have a light that this will fit on.

 
It continued to taunt me for weeks until I brought it home.

 
I turned it upside and poured a few buttons in.

 
I kept pouring....

 
I poured some more....

 
lucky I have so many buttons .
