Everything I've collected for the jobs is mostly in a cardboard box just waiting to explode out and be used. I never seem to find the time to just sit down, breathe in and out, take out a project and just do it. When I try, I frustratingly get half way and it ends up just sitting somewhere for weeks on end.
For once I'd like to just start and finish something in the one day. I think I'm asking for too much.
A few things I've found at op shops and on peoples junk piles to help me with my future projects;
These little wooden feet were $1 each. As soon as I saw them I knew what my project was
going to be. I have just about everything I need but I until I find a couple of things, these will
have to sit and wait.
$1 paint brush - an essential for crafting!
All of this fabric was $12, but there is a heap of it. It's actually curtain material, but the plan is
to make cushions for a couple of free cane chairs I picked up from the next door neighbours
junk pile. Thankfully their pile was close to our own council strip and it's unlikely they saw me.
Then again, who cares if they did.
Unopened contact plastic - free and on my dirty rug. It guess it can come in handy.
Red crepe paper - free. I'm thinking cute poppy flowers.
Jute bag with wooden handles - free. The jute ended up being cut up for something I needed,
and the handles are perfect for a knitting handbag project. Sweet!
Broken mosaic mirror - free. It's a shame it was cracked, othewise I would have
used it in the bathroom. The plan is to take off all the little glass bits and keep them
for another mosaic project.
Lastly, a bunch of pens/pencils/paint/various stuff - free!
