Handmade Market: in just one week!

And I've been making a couple of things...

 

Tango & James will be there for BOTH huge days. It's going to be all kinds of awesome, so don't miss out!!

I Dye

Just google images of Hot pink jeans and you'll see why I've been gagging for my own pair, but could I find a local pair which could be tried on? NO! So, what's a girl to do but grab a pair of white jeans and a packet of pink dye?...

 

White jeans $39, dye $10.95... A bubble in the cauldron and voila...

 Oh yeah... not taking them off. Ever.
That is all! xx

I've had a busy few weeks since our camping trip, finishing a few customers orders and creating some new pieces. We've also found the time to finish the left-over house painting from our bathroom and bedroom renovation in January!! The whole house looks lovely and fresh again, and I'm on the hunt for the right hall mirror now!

Here's a little Tango & James love...

 

 

If there's something Hope you've had a relaxing weekend! xx

Made Camp!

As an alternative to the annual mad birthday party, we had our first ever family camping trip... and loved every minute of it!

A beautiful location at Micalong Creek, Wee Jasper NSW. Perfect.

Handmade Market in only 4 days!

My 10 DIYs of Summer has had to wait! I've been madly working on some incredible new pieces for a DOUBLE Handmade Market. To make up for my absence at the Christmas Handmade. That's right, I'll be doing BOTH days of Canberra's Handmade Market this long weekend, so don't miss it!

 

 

 

 Some gorgeous pieces to add some Tango & James style to your home, see you on the weekend! LOVE IT! xxx

10 DIYs of Summer: Part 5

A brand new renovation has just been completed at Casa Ribena. I've gone classic and affordable with the permanent fittings, and now what we need are the unique personal touches. Stay tuned for my 10 DIYs of summer - maybe you can be inspired to do something for your own space! Here's part 5...

 ..........................................................................................................

A pair of bargain ex-hotel bedside tables are my next pop of colour for our new bedroom. After a jolly good sand to give the new colour some grip, a coat of primer and 2 coats of gloss yellow (Dulux 'High Alert'), they now have a hot new look and are a cheerful burst of colour to wake up to in every morning!

I also made the cushions from Spoonflower designers fabrics, and re-covered the light shade with scrapbooking card and an edge of bias fabric trim, it's on the Rodd wall light from Ikea, a nice compliment to the ceiling light.
