{A Little Quickie}
Hello! It feels like I haven't been here for month and months. Just wanted to post this super quickie DIY I did this morning.
Take a clothes hanger screw in top bit thingy (I don't know their technical name!) and a piece of driftwood and hey presto! you have a driftwood chrissy card hanger. Super easy - the sort of DIY I can do.
Not long now until Santa comes - hope you have a wonderful Christmas / Festive Season :)

{That Time I Tried Mosaic}
So I broke a little saucer this week. It was one of those blue and white willow ones that are a dime a dozen at the thrift stores. So what did I do with it? I smashed it up alittle more and decided to try and mosaic something. I bought a little $1 terracotta pot from Masters, waterproofed it and began grouting broken plate pieces onto it, and added a few sand dollars around the top.
I'm actually a little happy with it, but there were a few things I should/could have done better. (It certainly isn't my worst DIY work!!)
First: It is so hard to get these little saucer pieces to sit properly because of the round edgey bit on the bottom, so there are a few bits that poke out a bit more than the others.
Second: Don't stop work halfway through and talk to your mum on Skype for a few hours, or have visitors. I sort of left the grout stuff a bit too long to dry and it is as hard as a rock, so its not a smooth as it should be!
Third: Its a very messy job, so I am glad I used throw away containers and plastic tablecloth when I made it!
Fourth: Now I have to try and keep this little fern plant alive.

I'm not sure why we don't celebrate Halloween here in Australia. It looks so much fun! Will you be celebrating or doing anything spooky for Halloween?
