Jacket Revival?

I was cleaning out my wardrobe recently, it's amazing how much you can accumulate over a few years. The thought that you once loved those items so much, but now they are just the same old to you. It's a bit of a waste really, how much consumerism/materialism creates and just discards. There must be some way to minimise the impact on the environment, if only.....

Anyway enough of my ramblings...

As part of the cleanout I almost gave this jacket away, but then I thought hmm..what if I did a few things to revive it...well here you go..see what you think..I must admit the photo doesn't do it justice as it looks better worn in real life.

Recipe Stand

Why hello!

It's been a while and I have been dabbling at a few things but not really getting far.

Finally managed to complete 95% of this item which I really like cos it fits in with my country/vintage theme. The last thing to do is paint and varnish one more layer at the back of the stand.

I won't be using it anytime soon though as I would love to have more space to utilise it. Nonetheless at least it will be ready when I need it!
