My Creative Space

This week my creative space is being used for the betterment of humanity.  Project 18 are having an Auction on Facebook on July 20 to raise funds for childhood education in Indonesia.  They need handmade items to be donated to sell at the Auction.  So that's what I'm doing.

I've found lovely vintage tea cups in my opshop raids over the last week, so I am putting them all to good use.  After all, how many pincushions does one woman need?  Well, at least 3 by my reckoning, (wrist, tabletop and ring) so the rest are going to Cate for the Auction. Mostly so she will get off my case.

My creative space: filled with vintage china, polyfill, vintage fabric and some sort of altruism (even though I dont believe in it).

What's yours filled with? Share over at Kirsty's.

Friday Finds

Another week, another collection of treasures from the op-shops.  This week, my local had a whole basket of awesome vintage sewing patterns out for 25c each.  It was pure heaven.

Have a closer look at the little girl on the top one. How adorable is that jumpsuit?

This is the piece de resistance really.  Check out the legs! 

Did the illustrator never see a real woman before?

I love Paua shell.  What should I use this for?

All these beauties were 20c each! I'm going to turn them into pincushions. Yes! Radness!

There was also much in the way of clothing for me and some fabric for making clothes for the shop.  And a totes awesome tablecloth which I plan on turning into a skirt for myself.  That picture will have to wait until said project is on the go.  Then you will swoon with delight at how totally awesome it is.  You will. You'll see.
