Paintings at its very cheapest

Yesterday I found this great piece of art on HowDoesShe, and even though I had none of the supplies needed, I refused to let that stop me. So, with my photoframe-cardboard backing, silver spraypaint as a background and some cheap kids paint from ASDA, I got started. And I'm quite pleased with this free result. I would usually be picky about this, and probably not like it too much, but with my wallet being as tight as it is, I LOVE IT! :)


 
 
Here's the original, gorgeous and quite genius, Circle Tree Modern Art. I can't wait to redo it with proper paint and canvasses.

Have an awesome Monday :)

Handy Heart knock-off

While ripping up an old magazine for paint-protection, I saw the cutest heart memoboard. And while I would like to have £23 to use for that, I simply don't. But I refuse to yearn for things when I have cereal boxes! I swear, if I had an engine, I could build a car with cereal boxes. Hell, if I could be bothered, I'm sure I could make the engine!

Sickday already

I've been pretty ill lately, so I want to make something, but I can't gather my head enough to actually do it. SO, I thought I'd put up some links to projects I really want to try, but facing the truth; I probably wont.
 
My partner's grandmother gave me her old sewing-machine recently, and I just love it. But despite my nagging her through my teens, my mom never actually taught me how to sew, so I'm really bad at it. I still try though, and here's some of the projects I want to try next:
