...Thrift Shop Purse Revamp

I was out and about opp shopping recently and came across this purse for $1. Pretty cool. It's an old Sportsgirl clutch and it's in my favorite colour! Score!

...Button Embellished Blackboard

I bought some chalkboards from Typo a few months ago thinking that I'd be able to jazz them up, but they've been in storage and I've only just managed to get my hands on one!

...Decorative Button Magnets

My husband bought me a magnetic display board for Christmas with the idea that it would be great for once I have my sewing/crafting area set up once out renovation is complete. At the time I figured I wouldn't be using it for a fair while, but after coming across this project I had to delve into our piles of packing and storage to find it! 

I saw this fantastic tutorial at The DIY Dreamer  and absolutely fell in love!

I've had lots and lots of buttons sitting around my craft station for awhile now, and I've been thinking up creative ways to use them and this tutorial was just perfect!

...Spunky Vest and Bow Tie Boys T-Shirt

So, was it just in my circle of friends, or was last year 'Year of the Baby' for everyone?

Seriously! I could count about 20 people I knew last year having babies. Crazy!

So-year of the baby last year =Year of the One-Year-Olds this year, which means lots and lots of little prezzies for bubbas!

You may have noticed so far that I'm a bit of a girly girl (No, really?!) and having a little girl myself, it makes it very easy to get carried away with pretty colours and florals and the like continually-and I am aware of this!

So when a little boy's birthday pops up, I am suddenly quite lost! Does he like pastels? How about a lovely floral dress for the little man.

Nope

I need to man up and find something masculine.

Here's where Friday's task comes in.

...Handmade Fabric Flower Brooches

Here is a quick, easy and effective little craft that takes a little bit of preparation, then no time at all to complete!

Whip up a whole bunch of these to mix and match with different outfits, or make as gifts for teachers, aunties or friends. They would even look gorgeous attached to a card. The options are endless!
