What do you grab when you want something with your glass of wine? I've been going for this (see below) lately as it comes packaging free and stops me wanting other wicked things (corn chips).
Ages ago I posted on how to make no-fail popcorn. Now popcorn can be a little dull, therefore I have discovered that combining it with wasabi peas (which I am able to buy in bulk in my own container) changes the game completely.
I also add a bit of salt and vinegar flavouring (which I make myself by saturating rocksalt with vinegar and letting it evaporate off in the sun or a warm oven.
If you really want to go all out - try adding snips of nori sheet (sadly not packaging free) and I also throw in some bits of crackers that have broken when I've made my knackebrot crackers.
The Upcycled Belt
I have felt inspired by the belts and straps that I've seen on Pinterest made by Amy Hanna, as seen on crescendoh.com
I have finally got around to making one myself using my old PU belt that was getting to the end of it's life.
I have also taken the opportunity to make it just a little longer, (ahem, it must have shrunk).

It was fun to design as I went along. It probably won't appeal to the straight line brigade, but I like it.
A snap of the witch I made for Katie's Halloween party - using an old black umbrella. It's not as good as the ones I saw on Pinterest, but oh well, it was a quick job and she liked it.

I thought I'd leave you with a pic of a bright spot in my garden. I grew these Sweet William flowers from seed. They have been lovely to pick and give. Note to self - grow more flowers.
Oh, definitely grow more flowers ... one can never have too many flowers!! Love the belt upcycle. I have an old belt (I believe it has shrunk too over the years) that could do with some jazzing up too! Meg:)
ReplyDeleteYes, wish I was better with roses, sigh. It's odd, so many shrinking belts..?
