What have I been up to?

Not much , its been so cold here (can I say I do not like winter very much?) No heaters or anything just been rugging up fur jackets in the middle of day and putting quilts thru the dryer just so we can stay warm .
Half the family went camping and to a fishing festival and they froze all their proverbials off yesterday and the  night before.Its not so cold today so no fur coats and frozen noses for us 5 remaining family members here today, yay.Am hoping the fisherpeople bring home at least one good prize between them and lots of fish too.

I now have 106 followers how cool is that?Imagine when I get to 1000 lol 150  is my next goal ,but I will keep counting. Thanks new followers  and new commenters so great meeting you all and leave a message and I will always follow back if I am not already.

I have been creating to keep my fingers from going numb.Making things for the fete which is on 16th July so have a good while to get organised,

More swing tags for the guys and gals clothes.Aged the tags in coffee and as I dont like coffee or the smell of it I put them all in a box of rose potporrie they are much nicer smelling now.


Magnets from old jewellery bits.



Added things on my FB page (think I will put in etsy and send people there from FB)

and being a hoarder  knowing that things will come in handy eventually

I used this old frame I have had for months  and placed my grans wedding picture  in it, suits so well.

and I got these drawers (have 2 of them and  paid $1-2 for both months ago.)UGLY as


 I got this paper a few months back at opshop too

 I have collected buttons forever but bottles can be messy and take up room
 so I took the paper and cut ,trimmed and glued
 and added some of my buttons lucky I have 2 of these sets of drawers as I still have lots of buttons left This takes up less space looks better and is much easier to grab out the ones I want.Will cover top and sides eventually to.

 I also covered some buttons would like to make more any cheap places to buy these self covering button thingies? Easy to do and will make nice hair clips maybe?Had enuff for 6 but 2 were stuck insie each other before I even opened the packet .Ripped off!!
Decided to take these 80s earings I am going  to try and sell


and put them on these cards instead with my details on back.
All done thru many, many,many interruptions and a tiny bit of cleaning ha ha.

Am starting on some paper buntings for my stall next.( I have a list od to dos)

I have also been reading everyones blogs. Yes I am addicted.So many fun and inspiring and talented people out there. I cant help myself.

I shall be back tomorrow with whats in this basket
