Hey all! I inadvertently took another week off there, didn't I? Whoops! Hope you've all had a good one.
I've seen so many daisy print shirts, t-shirts, blouses etc round the high street and on blogs, so I decided to have a go at making my own. Off I went to trusty ole eBay to order a few pots of fabric paints, grabbed one of the last washing up sponges from the pantry* to cut into a circle and this was the outcome. I made it about a month ago but didn't like the shape until a 'brainwave' struck the other day and I cut off the sleeves. What would I do without my (housemate's) fabric scissors?
The jumper and bag were both new purchases this week. I got these, plus another jumper, for £1.50 total. My wardrobe's overflowing situation is not being helped by the amount of 50p rails that I seem to come across - not that I'm complaining! For the eagle eyed amongst you, the reason I'm not wearing the green ring in the photos is because I bought it halfway through the day. I don't wear a lot of green but apparently I was subconsciously trying to rectify that this week!
Have a good weekend, I've got a four day one. The best kind.

link me to a photo if you try it!
DeleteI know there has been a daisy invasion in all the shops recently! So jealous you can make your own and it looks so nice and wearable! I'd be like the 3 year old child mixing paints in school or something! And ahhh I love the simplicity of the last outfit, even when you do simple you still look ever so stylish! Jumper, bag and jacket are lovely. £1.50? Seriously wish I lived where you lived, by those lovely charity shops!

As if you made this yourself it's awesome! I'm obsessing over daisies at the moment, I've even chose a wedding cake covered in them!

Thanks! Ooh on trend wedding cake!
DeleteLove the DIY top! I'm thinking of painting something onto the back of an army jacket I got last week but a bit scared I'll ruin it, never was much of a painter! Love the claw ring too :)

Sounds interesting! Mine was quite easy cos it was just a sponge - you could make a stencil though, I've done that before with fabric paint! Then just sponge it through the stencil.
