‘Vintage’ Mirror | My Sweet Savannah In Adelaide you need to get up pretty early to get the good stuff at the op shops. All the cool 50’s frocks, the Danish-esque side tables and pretty floral teacups are gone in a flash. But of course, there’s one thing there is plenty of - ugly paintings. But you know what they say - you should never judge a painting by it’s picture. No, that’s not what they say, but you need to keep that in mind, because some of the best frames have the ugliest pictures! And the best part about this DIY is that the only thing you need to spend money on (other than your frame) is some ‘Looking Glass’ spray. The tarnished effect is created with a vinegar mix - so clever!

I have been home sick for the last few days, the FLU has gotten me bad. I’ve just been spending all my time watching Netflix, wrapped in a rug and going through boxes of tissues.

Does anyone else watch Bob’s Burgers? I’ve watched the last episode about three or four times, especially the part where Louise slaps Boo-Boo in the face.

I hope everyone else is going well at the moment and not in the same stuffy nosed, dizzy, continuously drinking water state that I am

Batik Wall Hanging | Kelli Murray I remember trying batik in high school and just loving it. It’s a beautiful art form and almost magic when you take off the wax and reveal the pattern. As you can see you can do whatever design you want, or do a Google search to have a look at the more traditional styles.

Roped Macrame Necklace | A Pair & A Spare I showed this DIY to my mum who said ‘that’s so 70’s’ but I still like it! Sometimes when all you feel like wearing is a tshirt and jeans, a big statement necklace is just the thing to make it special. Macrame is so easy to pick up too. If you want a smaller pendant, use smaller string. Just don’t wear it with bell bottoms or you’ll get looks from my mum!

Kate Spade Inspired Skirt | Melissa Esplin

If I had the figure and the bank balance to afford it, I would just live in Kate Spade’s clothes! They are quirky, timeless classics. All her pieces are cut beautifully, are colourful and fun. As I said though, it’s not going to happen but I can still get the style via sewing! This skirt is super cute, and the a-line shape is great for so many shapes & sizes.
