Reclaim the pine.

How to make a table, 

when you're low on cash,

don't have a car

or a drill.

Seriously I'm just as excited by it

set up in my living room ready to use

as the day I found it.  

I think because I feel like I made it.

It's my first bit of reclaimed furniture,

albeit with Ikea legs.

I should so be on Scrap Yard Make Over.

A and I quite often visit the hard rubbish site at work,
there's often wonderful things but we always need a trailer.
But when one finds a quality piece of pine,
one carries it to one's office to worry about transportation later.
It's complete with support boarder underneath.

Got E from work to drive it home for me :)

Buy table legs at $5 each from Ikea.
Tip #1 Don't screw in screws and hammer in when they don't work.

Needed D from work to bring over her drill :)

Voila! A new sewing table.
Sanded down and everything.

Tidy living room ready for my mum's visit.

I'm so pleased with my tidying up efforts,
I can use the living room again.

The door at the back leads into the hairdressing salon.
I hate those bitches.

The owner of my flat yelled out to me,
when I was moving my desk from the spare room,
I seriously just stared at her,
how the fuck does she think that she can come
into my house (even to the doorstep)
when she hasn't given me 24 hours notice,
she was getting foils in her hair,
and kind of smirked at me when she said
"You don't mind me having a cigarette outside do you?"
Fuck you and your rudeness.



Gotta go, kitty is attacking the stick insects!

Daily Bunny day three.

Don't worry, the bun stops here.

Green bunny cosy.

Don't worry there'll be no more bunnies,
I don't really like them,
they all look mean.

Went to Spotlight last night,
and bought a range of arty goodness.
An embroidery hoop, felt, aida cross stitch fabric,
wool and knitting loop needles.
The lady in the shop said that I must have
a wide range of crafting talents.
Wouldn't say talents,
ambitions perhaps.
Some things work,
others don't. Meh,

Fabric from Ink and Spindle.
They're on the wall in my arty room,
ready for mummy to enjoy when she visits next week.
Simple and pretty.
My kind of craft.

Daily Bunny day two

S wanted an albino rabbit with red eyes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Daily bunny.

S, with a bunny on her lap.

A little too small for S's head. 

It doesn't really look this evil!

So, S is going to have to start eating boiled eggs, 

now that I've made her a bunny egg cosy.

Made at work.

I'm supposed to be wrapping up my work

due to going on holidays, 

but stuffing around instead.

If only I could use my time for good, 

instead of evil

bunnies.

Textiles class is totally F'n A.

Chewin' out a rhythm on my bubble gum

Man, when you've got a Ramones song in your head
and you try to find it,
by clicking through each song...

Out of 99 Ramones songs in my collection,
12 start with One, Two, Three, four!
3 start with Go!
76 are under 3 minutes.
and
99 make you forget what you're looking for.

Anyway I found it.

One, Two, Three, Four!
Chewin' out a rhythm on my bubble gum.

Rockaway Beach.

Man I wanna live there.

First the crochet blanket, now the basket.

So Dollface and I are astrological twins, 

and now we've both made baskets.....

I love that we do the same things 

but have no idea that each other is doing them.

this was for my textiles assignment,  

not for fun.

although it was kinda fun.
