Holiday Crafternoons

On 27, Jan 2011 | 3 Comments | In blog | By Buttons

Another long silence from Buttons comes to an end.

Hello!

Summer has kept me distracted, and server problems still abound (working on it, I swear. Word to the wise, free webhosting has it’s catches).
Buuuut! I have been distracted doing crafty things. Mostly teaming up with my Fella in the creative partnership we like to call “Piggy-Pants.”

Episode 1 goes like this: our good friends Pieta Go-Getter of go go dancing fame and Susannah of theatre making fame just moved into a new house and needed some outdoor furniture…

It’s made of 100% recycled wood and the metal table frame is an old flatpack number we had lying around. The stencil is a paper cut done especially for this project, never to be reproduced (well not exactly the same anyway…) and was a good lesson in the pitfalls of cheap spraypaint. The whole project cost us $0!

All in all it was a successful crafternoon! the girls were quite pleased and we were quite chuffed!

Stay tuned…

    Wow!

  2. What an inspired bit of carpentry! I’ve been trying to decorate my new little cottage on a budget, and taking old pieces and giving them a new prettier life has become a real hobby. Nice to ‘meet’ other like-minded crafties!

    Thanks Catherine! It was so nice to get such a lovely comment (as opposed to the usual spam that I get buckets of each day) that led me to a lovely new blog to explore!
