This is the wet season

We are hanging on here, enduring the heat and humidity, while watching an approaching cyclone.

      I love the way they seem to be just about to fall at any moment!

    Hope the cyclone's a fizzer and does no damage - just crosses the coast, moves inland and brings some nice gentle rain to those that badly need it.

      Roz,
      It looks as though it might do just that, although they are so unpredictable.

    I love this photo, what a face. I hope the cyclone fades away with no severe weather. It's so good to see a warm frog and green leaves; we're extremely cold here.

      So far it looks as though it is heading further south, but it is bringing rain which is a good thing for those further inland.

    I don't care too much for frogs, but that is one cool looking frog. Did you take the photo? Very nice capture.
    Hope the cyclone doesn't cause too much damage, and that it moves on to other areas.

      Virginia,
      Yes I did - in my front yard - we have lots of these frogs - they love the wet weather. It is still a tropical low but is bringing lots of rain.

    I'm sure that I am strange but I love frogs. Something about their cute little "hands" and their cute little back lets. Weird I know but that picture made my heart sing.

    Your frog looks soooo much happier than the one I posted today. It's always a tense time when we watch for hurricanes too. I hope all goes well with you, always!

      Lesa,
      These ones always look as though they are smiling. Dylan the Cyclone has headed down south and caused quite a bit of flooding - hope it continues on inland a bit where there has been some major drought.

A successful upcycle from the op shop

Image
 While sorting clothes at the op shop, last week, a dress caught my eye.  I loved the fabric, a bright cheery floral.   There were a few problems though, it was short - above the knee, and the lace was totally see through.  Luckily, I had an old turquoise skirt, that I thought went quite well with the colours.  Layered and gathered, I didn't even have to do much, other than cut the bottom two layers of gathers and add them to the hem.  With the remaining fabric, I cut some strips an inch wider than the lace and turned it under on each side.  I just sewed this down either side of the lace, on the back.   A little piece of the skirt made a pocket, bringing the colours together.   These colourful very short dresses are quite popular these days, and everyone always says, "oh I love that dress, but it is too short"    Well, now I have the answer! The dorset button earrings match perfectly too! I have been busy getting my t...

Up-cycling fabrics

Image
   In our hot and humid climate, jeans are not big movers in our op shop.  We had a $1 a pair sale rack, and still have full racks..... so I decided to make up a few different bags to see if we can somehow save these items from landfill.  Re-fashioning those items into something useful.  I made a few variations just to try out the market and sold this one on the first day they were put out! Each one is individual, depending on what fabric I have available. I tend to lay things out, and then just play around a bit.   Here I am laying out all the options before I start sewing.  I have joined a facebook group which is so inspirational and supportive.      Up-Cycled Cloth Collective | Facebook So often, it is just a case of seeing what is there, and then using it in the best way possible.  I was excited to find this tote bag, which was perfect as the lining of a bag for a teenager. this was also snapped up quickly. The bags were hu...

Upcycling e book!

Image
 I have been a bit quiet on the blogging front lately because I have been busy!   Last year I received a grant through our local government to write an e-book on upcycling!  I have been crafting, photographing, and writing, but slowly it is all coming together and I am due to publish on July 4th!   Upcycling is a cause really close to my heart.  I volunteer at our local op shop and it is terrible to see how many donations come through our door.  Too much to sell.  We package up boxes to be sent to remote areas in Northern Queensland, but so much really has to be thrown away as well.  I read about #MendInPublicDay run by Fashion Revolution.  You can check out their website  here  . So, I am gathering a group of my crafternoon friends, and we will sit at the op shop on Saturday 26th April. My plan is to have a few little crafts, and one of my favourite items lately is this little bag to hold loyalty cards.   It is ...
