Day 1&2 of crafting 365 challenge

Sorry I didn't get around to posting yesterday-I wasn't terribly well which was a crap way to start the New Year.

As predicted, I got on the Black Russians NYE, and I had 5. Yes 5! Pretty good for me. Or not actually, judging by how I feel in the aftermath haha!
I sang Metallica and Cold Chisel a bit too loudly, stumbled around a bit and was in bed passed out by 1.30am. Happy New Year!!

I did manage to make something yesterday for day 1 of my crafting challenge-a little sunglasses case with a cupcake on it.

Today I felt like I'd been hit by a bus, nevertheless we took the kids to Fairy Park, which was fun. Except for the whole walking uphill part. They had fun!

Then off to Spotlight. I got a voucher from my MIL for Xmas (she rocks!) so I thought instead of buying craft supplies, I'd get things I normally wouldn't buy for myself. I picked up the most gorgeous little apron with birds on it, and a kitchen timer.

The kids broke my FlyLady timer awhile ago, and this one was just too cute to walk by!!

I've run out of time to make anything today, so I'll make two things tomorrow!

Only one more sleep...

Yesterday I picked up a really cute bent fork bangle from a guy off our local Freecycle. It got too dark to photograph it last night. It kinda reminds me of an octopus. I love nautical stuff, so I was chuffed:)

My parcel-delivery guy made my day this morning when he turned up with the book I ordered a few weeks ago. I'm sure I made his day too, answering the door in my dressing gown and bed hair. Not.
The book is called "The Complete Tightwad Gazette"all about living frugally. I can't wait to start reading it. It's something that interests me a lot. Our lives are so overrun with "stuff". I think it's our responsibility to stop being so wasteful.

I spent a good portion of this afternoon making a calendar for my Pa. It's his birthday today. He turned 88! He doesn't look a day over 70, handsome devil;) Well, I'm off to drink some Black Russians, play some trivia games and have an otherwise quiet evening. Unless I happen to have more than 2 Black Russians, then it could prove rather interesting. I am rubbish at drinking haha!
Hope you all have a wonderful New Year, and your heads aren't too sore in the morning!
I'll be back tomorrow, ready to start my 365 crafting challenge, yay!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
