DIY – Braided Hex Nut Bracelet

I have been meaning to give this a whirl for a while.. With having ANOTHER day off work magically, I took the chance to get in a spot of making and creating.

Find the full tutorial HERE! They have heaps of other awesome ideas too.. YAY!

First attempts at these kind of things are always flukes or balls, in this case I am remotely happy and am really looking forward to giving it another go.
NOTE: Make sure you use really strong rope/twine/strapping, I kept breaking mine.. Oh man!

All set out for the adventure.

This part was def the tricky part.. Not enough hands!

The end product YAY!

I always find it so satisfying making stuff and when its pretty things it’s so much better!
Jump on over to Honestly.. WTF for more niffty DIY ideas and a BIG thanks goes out to Jess at New deja Vu for bringing these pretty things to my attention.

YUM!

Hope you all had a good weekend.
Have yourself an amazing week!

Love.

Sunshine.

Happiness.

Muriwai Magic

Over the weekend I got the chance to head out to Springs again and have a nice wee (or not so wee) night out with her buds. Hawaiian was the theme, so I decided to buy me a couple of leis and elastic from Mr $2 and see what I could come up with.

Not overly out of the box but pretty non the less. And since trying on Wolf Cub‘s flowery head pieces back in December I have been wanting to make something heady and flowery.
In this case its – cheapo and effective = awesome! And always an added bonus incase you loose your creation while cutting shapes/LIMBO!
Just simply pull apart leis, re-thread on to elastic, knot and I also added beads in between a few. Nice and easy!

She’s a hot one in the 09 today!
If only The Warehouse delivered as soon as you ordered.. Then I would of been very keen to invest in a pool.
Time for some shade and an ice cold treat me thinks.

Hope you are all having a good week so far!

Making My Way Home

For a while I have been wanting to make a series of pretty pictures based on the things I find when I am making my way home each day.
After a hard day at work, it is always nice to find joy in the simple things that just catch your eye.

Here is my first addition.
Flowers from Hope Street.

Taken with the macro filter from my Holga Fisheye lens.

Hope you all have another amazing long weekend.
Love this time of the year.. We are so SPOILT!
I just hope that sun comes out to play-aye.

Love. Sunshine. Happiness.
