Childers Multicultural Festival

Yesterday we headed to Childers for the annual Multicultural Festival.  We had a fabulous morning wandering around looking at all the market stalls, watching the roving entertainers and listening to the bands on the main stage. Clay even participated in an artwork project :)

Bag Charms

I've been seeing lots of posts about bag charms lately and when I saw this new range at Kmart I thought I would have a go.  

Last night Tabs came over for a crafty session. We found a cute butterfly macrame design, but after watching the tutorial multiple times neither of us could get it to work :(  We just played around with the supplies instead.

My bag charm

I still habe heaps of supplies left, so might gave another crafty night with more friends.

Everyday Moments

Clay's best friend Landon was in town a few weekends ago, so the boys apent the day yogerther chilling gaming and playing board games.

Clay and I went to see the new Minions movie on the last day of the school holidays.

Another foggy day.  The camera doesn't catch how thick the fog was, but it was foggier than the week before.

The puppies were excited to greet Tabs when she looked after them while we were away at the wedding :)

I ordered this watercolour print from Ali Express to go in the frame I brought from an op shop a few weeks ago (it had a Bob the Builder print in it). I was really pleased to find the image was printed on canvas material and is great quality.  This is the first frame for my Disney picture ledge.

Friday afternoon sport is back at school this term and Clay has been enjoying basketball.

I love the signs at one of my fave 2nd hand book shops :)

I brought these figurines from Ali Express to make into Christmas tree decorations - I think they will be very cute!

Wedding Flowers - Table Centrepieces

Kristy found 2x  of these metal candle holders at the op shop and they were perfect for the wedding theme!  The centrepieces were easy to make, but they wanted Dungeon & Dragons dice in them - that was tricky!!  I ended up wrapping some light wire around a corner of the dice and gluing it down with hot glue.  Then I wrapped the wire around a thick floral wire spike, covering it with green floral tape. I had to make 22 dice picks - there were a few hot glue gun burns LOL The centrepieces all had lights wrapped through them and looked so pretty on the tables.

The 9x guests and cake table centrepieces had 3D printed frames that Kristy's uncle Col made.

Thrifty Thursday

Craig and I both had Monday off - so I popped into a few op shops, did some errands and we had lunch out.

At the first shop I found this cute pot plant $3.

Mickey Mouse Tupperware dish $3.

Diamond painting $2 for Granu.

This wooden necklace didn't have a price tag, so the cashier gave it to me for free.  I'm thinking about removing the chain and making it into a brooch.

Frame $2 for my Disney picture ledge project.

Books Disney for crafting 50c & Gumnut babies book for Kristy $3.

At the 2nd shop I found this top $3.50 (half price blue ticket).

Earrings $3 & $4.

Book for Clay $3.

I found this moneybox $2 for Clay at the 3rd shop.

Books $3 & $2 each.

Another Disney Twisted Tales book $3 - I didn't think i had this one, but when I got home I checked and I do.

Christmas tree skirt $1 - I'll put this on my Disney tree.

Can cooler $3.

Purse $3 - I will gift this to Craig's mum :)

At the last shop I found books $1 & 50c.

And the most exciting finds....by sheer luck I was checking out and server answered the phone so I had a look in a section I normally don't look. I found a Disney book lego set in a bag. Then the lady was checking if i could use my rewards card and so I re-checked the shelf and found another 3 sets!!!  They books were closed so I took a gamble that most of the pieces would be in there.  When I got home I checked and only 3 pieces were missing  (plus they had the instructions)!  With my rewards card - they ended up costing me $5 each.
