Hello friends! Today was a good day! It was warm enough to venture out in shirtsleeves...and after I finished work, I went thrifting!
Pliers, jump rings, earring studs and some little bits I stashed away 20 years ago...add a discarded gold chain...then add some seashell pendants from today's thrift haul. It pays to know how to make jewelery, how to sew, how to knit or crochet etc. I keep a stash of jewelery making tools, beads, fabric, yarn..I have a mini warehouse of craft supplies. Some of it was free!
BAM!!!!
Here are some free and thrifted crafty items. Can you figure out what I made?
Spring's coming!
happy thrifting ;)
No thrifting for us - all non-essential shops in the UK have been closed since 30th December! Hooray for online shopping and yes, it pays to know how to repair things - I find loads of amazing things in need of a stitch! xxx
ReplyDeletehaha! I love reading about your clothing repair! You strike me as someone who keeps her mending pile low and attends to repairs immediately! Not me, I am the queen of procrastination and sometimes repairs languish for weeks (shhhh! don't tell anyone).
DeleteLove your seashell jewellery! Well done! While I don't know how to crochet or knit, and only have basic sewing skills, it's often a question of common sense when it comes to repairing or upcycling things. Plus, I have a handy husband at my command :-) xxx
ReplyDeleteExcellent! If you and your handy husband want to visit (when Covid is over), I have a lot of projects we can work on :)
