Pink Pandora's Support Breast Cancer

Those that know me well , know that Breast Cancer Awareness and Support is an issue very close to my heart. My parents and little sister brought me this beautiful Pink Leather Pandora for my birthday ! I love it ! So simple and elegant yet young and funky! The best part is that that Pandora makes a donation from each pink pandora and amulet to the the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

Amazing Grace ... DIY

Continuing on from yesterday's post , i thought i would show you the print i framed yesterday.
I got the basic idea from Jo over at Your Nearly There Joanna . Jo gave her husband a framed copy of the music to their wedding song as a wedding anniversary present.
I loved the idea, but seeing as i am saving for the Bugaboo Fund and i don't have access to lots of shops, i found the song sheet for Amazing Grace , free online. Amazing Grace was the hymn we sang out our wedding. So ,it has special meaning to me. I also had a frame that had a ugly print in it, so a few quick steps and i had my picture.

i - Find music online and print onto desired size. I saved the music and then edited and got rid of some info i didn't need, plus added a larger song tittle.

ii- I then soaked a couple of tea bags in hot water and once cool, painted the paper lightly with the water.

iii - Once dry , i then painted it one more time, this time with a strong coffee mix. and let it dry.


iv- As, i don't have access to a framer, i wasn't able to cut a mat, so i just filled the frame with a piece of white cardboard.


v - And ta-da, hanging on my office area wall.






Once again , terrible photos, once all the area is completed , i will take some more pics of all my gold projects.

DIY Project - Gold Bowls

I have been looking for some little bowls for my chest of draws. Unfortunately, i haven't been able to find any that are suitable. So today i decided to do a little bit of DIY and see how i go.
(Please bare with my shocking photos , i have misplaced the battery charger for my camera and as such am using my iphone)

i - 3 plastic bowls my son used to play with.


ii - Sprayed with gold spray pain



iii- All Done ! Super Easy !


I am by no means an expert at DIY and had i access to shops, i would have gone down and bought them from a homewares shop, but alas they are not perfect but they will do !

I have a few more bits and pieces to come together, and i will be able to share my chest of draws mini display.

Currently Listening to... HERE COMES THE SUN

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
and I say it's all right

Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
and I say it's all right

Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
and I say it's all right

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...

Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
and I say it's all right
It's all right

Pram Crazy

I am currently converting a Denim Bugaboo Cameleon. They are so very slick and cool ! I think it will enhance my mummy-yumminess (not), they seem to be a good all around pram. Only Problem, it cost more than my first car. Now to convince my husband !
