Crafty Bank Holiday

Have thrown myself into jewellery-making this evening and having lots of fun. This afternoon I made a hair accessories tidy for Big Muddle. I'm waiting on some small cup hooks as a bottom row for extra bobbles, but its nearly there:

I used a frame-less cork board from Wilko and staple-gunned some fabric and the two ribbon strips on, and sewed on the loops with clips (John Lewis).

With hindsight I'd do the ribbon strips at the top, and karibiner (sp?) clips may work better for the bottom row, but I wanted to try cup hooks as I thought it would be easier for Big Muddle to access them (this may be foolish, we shall see!

Overall though I'm pretty happy with it, as is Big Muddle so that's the main thing!

Home project - Reading Nook

Projects...I have what feels like gazillions at the moment. Our house is rented, but unless we win the lottery (which is tricky, with us not buying tickets...) we'll be here for a good long while hopefully so I'm slowly making it the home I want.

But hurrah, I finally got a project completed at the weekend! I've been furiously pinning pictures of reading nooks ever since I heard of them and now the girl's one is finished! I used an old magazine holder from a charity shop as a tiered mini bookcase:

And my old maternity pillow curled as a cosy seat:

And topped with an Ikea leaf bed canopy:

I'm quite pleased with it overall! What's on your home 'to do' list?
