Upcycle heaven...

Don't throw it away, upcycle it!

Ever wondered what you can do with those old t'shirts? Rather than running them down to the charity shop or using them as old rags, how about trying out some of these ideas...

I love the pom poms, they look so cute! My favourite is the cushion that was created by The Sweet Life and there is a great tutorial on how to make your very own. I have to say what a cool idea for the shorts, not sure eldest would wear them but the little one might? hmmm...TTFN ~x~

Inspiration by the light of day...

I've been looking for more inspiration and found this on Just Another Day in Paradise, I'm not a knitter either so I may have a go at making this I think, it's just lovely.....watch out charity shops, I'll be coming your way on Wednesday on a mission to get me a jumper!

I can see me working on this over the next year, seeing as the weather is warming up a bit, but still great idea for Christmas presents for all my friends and family!

To digress, I ordered some grosgrain spotty ribbon from Ebay the other day well it came today, much to my disappointment, it was so tiny....I'm terrible at sizes!  The first time I ever ordered my weekly shop online, I bought the smallest bag of sugar known to man! lol.  I have now taken to walking around with a tape measure on a keyring, which I got from a Christmas cracker, on the car keys....very handy.  I'll look on my phone, see if they have a conversion app....that would be cool! TTFN ~x~
