Upcycling, my favourite exercise.....

This is the notice board I've made using wine bottle corks that friends have saved for me (I rarely drink these days). Didn't have enough to do the whole thing as so many bottles are either screw top or use a plastic cork. The two large panels are actually the sides of a computer that hubby was getting rid of, they are magnetic and have little hooky bits which should be useful. The frame and backboard was actually in use for a photo montage till the glass broke when I tried to clean it on the inside oops! You'll recognise the children's fridge magnet letters. Even the drawing pins used to be my dad's.  So just the cost of double sided tape and pva glue which were here already (essential in any self respecting craft room).

What do you think of this cute snuggle baby in bed? Made for my friend's new grandchild.

The bed was a fleece scarf lined with what used to be a mattress cover. The body and hat one of my t-shirts and the head is stuffed tights (can't remember the last time I wore a skirt). Of course as it's for a baby all the fabrics have been hot washed and the stuffing in the head is new and hypoallergenic. Gave it to them last week and it was very well received, especially by their two year old.

And today I started covering my sofa bed that is splitting in lots of places. Just the two seat cushions so far using an old duvet cover.

But it looks so much better when it's being used 😊
