Another Mini Makeover, Crochet and Washing-Up!!

Did you have a nice weekend? 


Our dishwasher is indeed, on the blink so yesterday for the first time the boys did the washing-up. I couldn't resist sneaking up with the camera to get photographic evidence:

Then they saw me so H posed with his rubber gloves!!

I've brokered a deal with them that if they wash up every evening without complaint they will get extra pocket money - I didn't tell them that it'll probably be a couple of months before we can afford a new dishwasher!!

I've been making over some picture frames I got from the car boot sale - they were dated white and gold but only 50p each so I painted them with emulsion tester pots, gave them a coat of varnish and made a mount from scrapbooking paper:


Look how little they were, bless!!

I also crocheted a case for my phone:


Ignore the stray thread!!

The pattern is from a crochet pattern in a  free eBook from Julia Crossland.

Lastly, Ashley over at  Jellybean's Odds and Ends has very kindly given me a Versatile Blogger award, so I will have to think of seven facts and seven blogs to pass it on to and tell you tomorrow....

  6. What a great picture of the boys! :) I love it.

    The frames look great Sarah, I love the colour. It's amazing what a bit of fresh paint can do to completely transform something.

    I love that little phone case! It looks adorable with the flower on it. Was the flower difficult to make?
