Thrifty THURSDAY..No 3

It's all the rage at the moment - Everyone likes to upcycle

We need to do our little bit to help the environment, and I think there is alot of satifaction to be had in creating something new and different from something no longer used.

Upcycled Army bag by kerrishangups. Who would have thought these boring old bags could look so cool.

I remember my Nanna making coathanger covers out of old plastic bags well it appears it is still happening. Here we have a Hobo Bag by carataylor made from coloured plastic bags. She also does clutches and purses.

It's Hump Day -

Here we have Belinda the Bilby settling nicely into her new home here in WA - and she is showing off the awesome pendant from Deborah at Uniquedichroic which arrived today.

Thanks Deborah.
I have a stack of pastel resin square bangles which I finished off today as well as a couple of new designz of rings - these ones are chunky (not to be messed with). Not sure if I should sell the bangles as a stack or individually. I think they look good together.

Winter Warmers....

Flames

Well it looks like Winter is nearly here. As much as I love the days of sunshine there is something about winter that is nice too - perhaps it is the warmth of the wood fire - dragging out the Ugg Boots - Hot chocolate - Hearty Soups - Extra time to craft! (and waste on the computer)..Whatever it is, it is nearly here....

Pictured above is my latest resin bangle which is a hard one to part with (as they all are). The colours of the winter fire are just divine - Amber, Charcoal, Smokey Black and White all swirling into flames. Wear a bit of that lovely winter warmth. Now in Store.

Wow I have had a lucky week.

How is my luck this week, I can't believe it but.....

I WON Again.....

This stunning pendant made by Deborah at UniqueDichroic is all mine thanks to her recent blog giveaway. She makes the most gorgeous pendants - I am so lucky. And she lives in my part of the world too in the beautiful South West of Western Australia. I feel a little greedy now for winning two giveaways in one week, especially after saying that I never win anything - well maybe I do after all. Still I am not complaining. Woo hoooooo....

Button Bangle

Well today I tried out the Button Bangle Kit sent to me from Liz at HundredsofButtons. Being my first attempt I am very happy with the results. I changed the clasp from a loop arrangement to a magnetic one - only because I made it too short but I think the new clasp works well. Thanks Liz, I can add this to projects I have done list.

Belinda Bilby is coming to live in WA

I won!!! I won!!! (really I did )

After me saying in my last post that I never win anything, I got such a nice surprise this morning to find out I was the winner of Belinda Bilby made by the generous Sally at Blu'bies. Up in the Blue Mountains is where Sally creates lots of cute and cuddly little animals such as echidnas, quolls, koalas, possums, owls and bats . Belinda Bilby has a long journey ahead of her , lets hope it is a safe one.
