Its not long now until my holidays and I have been sorting out what I want to take with me, bearing in mind we now only have 15kg allowance. I'm not really one for dressing up but when we are on holiday its nice to get my glad rags on and make a bit of an effort for the evening. Having looked at my clothes I thought they needed sparkling up a bit with a nice necklace. I had a quick look through the large amount of crafty stash I have and found a bag of Swarovski crystal beads looking all sparklicious and a pack of 3 pearl bracelets from either Primark or £land and after mixing the two together came up with a necklace, bracelet and earrings. No clasps were required as they are on that stretchy jewellery stuff. I wish you could see just how sparkly they are but the camera hasn't picked it up. I am really pleased with how they look on and even more pleased that I didn't have to go out and buy them. Just shows what you can make do with when you have to!!
I have also cooked a large vat of Vegetable soup and another of Leek and Potato again making do with what I had in the fridge, its all portioned up and in the freezer ready for those cold winter days, one of them being today... brrrr...
What have you made do today?
Thank you for popping by

ReplyDeleteI didn't make anything today, but over the weekend I did work on hubby's sweater. Just have the sleeves left to knit.
Beautiful set Karen, your soups sound yummy. I've made a vat of veggie soup today with a cheap butternut squash and other stuff I had in the fridge. Also got Lancashire Hotpot in the slow cooker for later, smells yum :-)Hope you both have a fantastic holiday xxx
