Day 353 - Book page room decorations.

I'm using book pages again today to decorate Mr D's room now that he has his own pad.

I had some old frames and a cute little book I got for 50c. It doesn't even have a publication date or author but I love the illustrations.

The frame I used for the next picture was missing the back support but the covers from little golden books I had used in some other projects were a perfect fit.

And some more bunting.

Day 228 - Flowers and recycled chenille.

These are some pants for a little girl who is turning 1 very soon. The front are these cute flowers and the back are a recycled chenille beach robe, also used for another pair of pants in the early days of my 365 challenge.

Here is the little man rocking it out as my model.

Day 130 - Recycled belt to owl pendant.

Owl fever seems to have hit my place with my 4th owl project in as many days. This one was almost cheating it was so easy. But with a 365 day project I do need to be allowed a few cheats.

I found this strange owl belt which looks to me like something from the 70's, in with the buttons and lace I got from my Gram. It was too easy to turn it into a pendant by detaching the owl, putting a little ring on the top to hang it on a chain, and adding a couple of beads. The beads are from my 5yo's stash so I might end up changing them to a nicer bead. Or maybe I should ditch the beads entirely?

I forgot to take before pictures in my haste to finish it off before school pick-up.

Have a fabulous Friday and a wicked weekend everyone.

Day 69 - DIY bookshelf

Still had some visitors around until about 3pm today but after they left I was very excited to start this project for my little Aidan.

Mum got him this cube storage shelf from target and I was very proud of myself for being able to follow all of the diagrams and put it together. I felt an amazing sense of accomplishment.

Then I got a vintage duvet cover from my stash and stretched some over the top of the shelf and one square of the back. Next I cut a couple of pictures I liked from the duvet cover and stuck them on to the back of the 2 remaining cubes that have a back. I love it! I think the fabric is so cute and the vibrancy of it really suits my happy go lucky little man. He loves it too. When my kids are happy I'm usually pretty happy too.

Hope everyone has had a weekend as amazing as mine. What will I make tomorrow?
