Happy Monday! Although mine started  rubbish. I let a person I have never met to wind me up  this morning, one of those persons who think the world revolves around them and therefore would cease to exist weren't it for their efforts, yawn.... so I have one thing to say, "some people just need a sympathetic pat.......on the head.............with a hammer!"  lol feel better now ;o)

*******************************************

I have started working on my jewellery and came up with three cute designs.
All the pieces are made using leather cord, selection of wooden, glass, and swarovski beads as well as semi-precious stone and seed beads, the geisha and elephant are Tibetan silver.

Colours of India flying elephant necklace $25

Huffy beach cruiser overhaulin'

I love rain, really love rain, but enough is enough! So I have spent today playing with kids, cooking yummy food and crocheting slippers cause my feet were really cold! Nearly finished, tutorial soon!

I did mention we all love to get our hands dirty so today's award for most awesome bike ovehaulin'

goes to Ryan! Picked up rusty old thing  from the rubbish tip for $20, after hours of stripping it to nothing, removing rust and all unnecessary parts, breaks  (just the front ones hahaha), rusty chain, ding dong bell etc, some lubricating, painting and polishing, wheel aligning and road testing, the Huffy beach cruiser looks like a million bucks. See for yourself!
