These are the things I do to keep me busy (ha ha, not that I'm not busy enough). When I'm not in the kitchen, I'm in the sewing room or the garage. I'm the one in the family that uses the power tools (shhh, don't tell my husband). I love upholstery and painting and all sorts of things so in order to inspire you I'm sharing them here.

Fireside Chairs

If you read about my lounge chairs you will know that last year I took some upholstery classes which I enjoyed immensely. My final project for the year was to transform these wonderful fireside chairs into the beauties they are today.

Lounge Chairs

I bought these chairs on TradeMe ages ago. It was always my intention to re-upholster them but I just didn't get to it last year.

A Partridge in a Pear Tree

Bought this really cute fabric at Spotlight yesterday. It's actually Christmas fabric but as it's non-traditional colours I've decided I can use it all year round (sshh - don't tell anyone).

Home Made Laundry Powder

I have been using this laundry powder for about 6 months now and have been really surprised by the results from a homemade product. It's easy to make, if your kids can use the food processor they can do it.
