Why Should You Keep Your Egg Shells?

 Why Should You Keep Your Egg Shells???


Because it's eggcellent for your garden and health of your plants!!!


Dry the shells before you crush them....




It's as easy as drying the moisture on the inside first and then popping them in a bag and crush them like you would biscuits for chocolate fudge cake. However if you're like me, you'll take great pleasure in drying them in a container on the windowsill then using the back of an ice cream scoop, crush them and grind them like a pesto and mortar. I love the crunching crushing sound it makes.


Free Fertilizer....



You can also leave them a little more coarse and spread them around the bottom of your plants. Not only do they provide the soil with calcium but they form a sharp spikey barrier around your plants to deter any pesky insects.

Sharpie/Vivid Coffee Cups

There's so many pins on  Pinterest  about the same thing that you could literally read through hundreds of them before you find one that actually works. And this little DIY project was no different! Thank goodness the cups were cheap from  The Warehouse  at $1 each. You could also get them from  Kmart .

No matter which pin I've read and experimented with, they have all said the same thing. It is  best to get cheap cups    (which is faaaantastic cos I'm all about being on a budget) as they don't have as much glaze on them like a more expensive cup would have. The glaze causes cracking and bubbling in the design!! Not handy!!! 😳 I wanted the cups to be  dishwasher proof   and...

DIY Jeans with lace inserts

  DIY Jeans with LACE INSERTS After sewing a pair of jeans that were too small for me with denim square inserts  I decided to go through the pile of jeans I got for free to see if there was another pair I could tickle up with a bit of fancy decoration. And of course there was! My dear friend gave me a box full of bits n bobs and in amoungst it all were some net curtains with a pretty pattern and a scalloped edge. One side was embossed and the other side had a netting layer and was no where near as impressive.  This is how I made them without a measuring tape or any knowledge of what I'm even doing!!!  How to Make Lace Insert Jeans.... As Instructed From An Absolute Dummy! 1. Unpick the outside edges of the jeans. I unpicked the wrong side, had to sew it up and start again on the right side. 2. Cut net curtain to size. As I had no measuring tape I simply cut a full scallop size piece. From the 2 highest points of the blippy bit and straight up lol I'm so sorry I am th...
