Tea towels

A lot of people who go on holiday (okay, rather the people I know, and happen to be British!) would buy tea towels as souvenirs or gifts. I'm sure they or the recipient would have a lot of them sitting around their homes, or hung up on their walls. Wouldn't it be nice to do some DIY and make it unique!

Go to this website for ideas! Andy Murray Design has great ideas. I love the watch and bag idea :-)

Don't toss your litter on the floor

They belong in the bin! Litterbugs, be warned: NEA is increasing its patrols and its fines!

Another reconstruction in progress

Inspiration from Craftzine.com

I have 2 pink worn out tops which I'm thinking of combining together. I was going to do a one-shoulder ruffle shirt but considering that I have never worn such a style in my life, I thought I'd do something else. Here are shots of the in project in progress:

I've cut the bottom off to use as the ruffles in the v part of the stripey shirt. I'm also thinking of doing cap sleeves and make a thin belt to go with it. Stay posted!!!!

The Pleated Poppy

I came across another refashioner, Lindsey, at The Pleated Poppy, via Just Better Together

Lindsey's flower embellishments on a T-shirt look great, and the crayon roll is excellent for keeping the crayons together and not broken!! I'm definitely putting these on my to do list.

Great idea from London

How do we raise awareness of the endangered Asian elephants? Form an Elephant Parade!!! My friend in the UK was there to take a look and the event definitely created a stir, especially with the kids!

Sign their petition >> http://www.elephantparadelondon.org/petition/

It calls on governments around the world to recognise the plight of the Asian elephants and to get programmes going to secure their future.
