Thanks for that. The milk carton cloches are an idea that I will definately use.

Here is an idea for an apron from an old dress! http://www.funinthemaking.net/category/reuse-fabric-items/
It could be made glam for special occassions or practical for every day.
It is also ideal for bigger busts where conventional bib top aprons are inadequate!!!!!!

That's a lovely site she grinch, may thanks

I think this idea to convert an old door into a growing frame or 'small greenhouse' as she calls it, is fab http://www.funinthemaking.net/category/reuse-wood-garage-door/

Yes it looks great, the teepee is a good one too an I think it could be made in bright colours too for sleepovers

Saw in a magazine last week an egg box with 6 tea lights inside. The box was a nice plain one -didn't have shops name all over it - but I'm sure a bit of decoration would do the trick. Going to have a go anyway.

Great idea for those citronella tea lights to go outside in the summer

What with hospital and everything I'm all behind myself with stuff to do. Having a rummage yesterday I found a woolly hat with a tassel on, sort of ethic typy colours............what can I turn that into ? I can use the tassell on a key ring but don't want to waste the rest of it.

I suppose the obvious thing is a tea-cosy
