Curried Chickpea stacks

I entered a recipe into the Grains and Lentils competition and am now in the top picks. So exciting! Check it out http://www.glnc.org.au/recipecomp/tag/top-picks/





I just love cooking with chickpeas and found that these patties and the rice mix freeze very well so have been awesome for lunches.  I hope you like this recipe.

There is still time to enter if you are quick.

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

   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 ...
