Crafting for Christmas 2010, lets begin again......

After seeing qwiksave's brilliant candle stick platestand :T:T:T (I couldn't resist sharing this from My Repurposed Life's blog.

It's a tutorial to make candlesticks from bedposts!



They look gorgeous and expensive but cost very little if you've got any bedposts lying around (who hasn't?!)

They are gorgeous - they slightly remind me of chess pieces too...

qwiksave -what a nightmare the shopping was.............lol - well must admit I did get a bit bored looking at some new sort of compost stuff OH spotted in Focus............so I trailed him up to the little cards shop.......very expensive :eek: so came out with one sheet of paper for my scrapbook and some black and white letters to put 'recipes' on foster daughters index card box. Poundstretcher had a little apron that will go ok with the chefs hat I got as a freebie for little grandsons birthday (£1.99) -I'd have had to buy more tea towels to get one that would look right so I think it was worth it. Then wonder of wonders..........OH took me to Dunelm mills...........got some cushions for the kitchen chairs and then joined the long long queue -why don't they have more check outs open ?
Parking at hospital was a nightmare and we ended up stuck on a grass verge and paying for the privilege -OH was not happy. Still, scans done and we'll get the result on Wednesday when we see the 'boffin' chap.

beach hut -love the candlesticks:T I'm all for recycling where possible

Don't know if this freebie pattern appeals to anyone, but I thought it could be adapted to make heat bags, door stops and bookends. I've added it to my ever growing list of possible makes!
