MY WEEKEND

I had a rather good weekend.
I made some cute earrings and new covers for the cushions.
I was feeling a bit low on Saturday morning since my man
isn't feeling too good at the moment and I can't really do
anything that could help him, except keeping our home and
garden neat and tidy.
My man felt like we needed a treat so we went to one of our
favorite restaurants in Golders Green and then he asked me
if I wanted to go to IKEA to get some Swedish delicacies.
He really is a sweetheart.
Yesterday I made two earring stands and snuggled under
the cover with my man and drank Bailey's while we watched
some movies.

NEW!

This is my latest fascinator hat.
What do you think?



Today I'm gearing up for a craft day.
I've cleaned the house and done a load of washing,
went for an hour walk and now I get my reward.
First on the list is earrings and then three cushion
covers that matches the curtains in the lounge.

RE-DO

Do you remember this vintage necklace I bought at the
cool shop Bohemian Retro in Prague?
It didn't really look like this when I bought it but I saw
past that and knew that I could re-do it.
This task was easy, I only had to rearrange the leafs and
add a clasp and a small extension chain.
I always save clasps, chains etc. from broken/unwanted
bits, they always come in handy one day.

What I want to say with this post is, don't let something
pretty pass you by because it looks a bit odd or needs a
little bit of work.
In my case it turned out to be one of my favorite pieces
of jewelry.

GETTING OLDER

Some of you might not believe I only have one month left to
be a twenty something girl, I can hardly believe it myself.
I won't pretend I don't struggle with the fact that I'm
turning 30, I have a slight panic...
I don't look 30, I don't act 30. It's hard to picture myself as a
30 year old! I won't fit in!
How many of you are hitting 30 soon or are over 30?
Do/did you panic too?

This getting older thing is really not for me, 10 years ago I
actually though I wouldn't be older than 25, but on the other
hand, I was in a really dark place.
Maybe that's why I panic, because I dwelled in the dark for
so many years that I missed out on so many things you do
when you're in your twenties.

A friend on Facebook sent me a message, asking what I want
for my birthday and the only thing I can think of is perfume
and candy.
I guess I have one sophisticated side and one childish side...

NEW HAIR COMBS

I have been extremely busy lately with revamping and
creating, I have also painted the staircase, all I need is
to touch up some of the areas where the paint didn't
cover and get thin beading to put around the edges so
it looks neat.
I also been sorting through my closets (I will be listing
stuff tomorrow) and cleaning the rest of the house like
a mad woman. My kneecaps are sore.

These two pair of hair combs are my last creation.
What do you think?

AND THE WINNER IS...

Jema Rose!
Congratulations, you won the headband!
Please send me an email with your details.



To the wonderful participants, don't be sad, there
will be another giveaway sooner than you think.

LINT REMOVERS

Some say that diamonds are a girls best friend but
I think a lint remover is a girls best friend, for the
one who really love her clothes.
I've been to a lot of car boot sales and seen a lot of
jumpers go for 20 pence because they are covered
with lint/bobbles. Some people can't be bothered.
Anyway, in this day and age when the economy is
the way it is this is one good tool that should be in
everyone's home.
I've tried two of the many lint removers that's on
the market and my favorite is the lint remover from
OBH Nordica.
They can be found in the big stores in Scandinavia
and also on a lot of websites.
This thing should make an excellent gift.
It's small and very handy and it removes lint in no
time and I do mean it.



I also tried the lint remover from JML, who can
be found in the big stores around the UK.
This one is crap! It's big, very loud and it doesn't
remove the lint 100%, it seems like it just "combs"
the lint without really removing it.
I was so disappointed that I actually sent it back
to JML.



It seems like all lint removers on the market runs
on batteries and if you're planning on buying one
as a gift for Christmas/Hanukkah or for a birthday,
why not buy rechargeable batteries too?
If not, don't forget to recycle!
