DIY-ing

I was feeling inspired to do a wee bit of DIY today with this very cool fabric remnant I scored from our local flooring extra store. My lovely Father in-law gave me this chair for my studio (when I had one...sad face) It's a tiny little thing and I have often struggled with where exactly to put it. At the moment she is sitting next to the fire waiting patiently for Ginny to come and wipe marmite (actually its more likely to be Vegemite...another sad face) all over the nice white bits!

I don't recommend using your builder husbands staple gun for whacking building paper onto walls if you, like me, could not find the right sized staples to fit your 'upholstery' staple gun....builders staple guns are like hammers that have staples in the ends....hence my bloody sore thumb and the giant wrinkles in the front of the cushion which can stay there until I find the right staples.

Now to end on nice note....do you like my Salvo's score this morning? I have a mild obsession for T-bar shoes so these Italian Grey Mei numbers are making me feel pretty spesh right now!

Happy days

Now to end

Jamming

Oh you pretty things

Thanks for my cool retro awesome-ness Gran xxx

Ooowh don't forget about my giveaway below. I'm drawing it on Sunday 14th xx

Thrift, knitting & a bit of a mish mash?

A trip to the salvos scored me these little babies, $15 for the lot chuurrrr. I also got some cool tab top linen curtains for the dining room & some more glass bottles for our vintage soda stream.

So how was Mothers day for you all? Ged the Gedi opp shop master & myself went for a Woodville mission to scout the second hand goodness, found loads but managed to restrain ourselves & bought some natives for the garden from a very cool country nursery. I was pooped when we got home and KOed in bed for 2 whole hours! The biggest afternoon sleep since Ginny hatched, wait it gets better....I woke to the most amazing aroma of Ged's marvelous meatballs cooking...nom nom. Well the cooler weather is starting to keep me indoors so I have picked up the needles for the first time in a long time & started knitting some leggings for my Ginny who seems to be doing what babies do best & grow at an excessive rate!

Ummm well these photos I thought I'd chuck in for a giggle, I was in a ...? 'weird somewhat hyper' mood last night, combine that with a somewhat weird BF & a camera = well you get my drift

The serious 'Posh & Becks' pic...followed by the funky tongue shot...WTF!

LOL hope you all have a daft and hilarious week!
