bouquets.

so when i see home made things i sometimes think anything you can do.. i can do. so i saw these button bouquets and i just had to make one, and i mean i had too...

so heres an professional one...

and then below is my one....

ok there's is better, i couldn't find the right craft wire to connect the buttons but the use of diamond pins look lovely! would happily use my version at a wedding, and costs about a 10th to make compared t buying! 

so going on from that currently making a crochet bouquet. will post updates as i get further with them, bur again its another i can do that moment of madness! 

Guineapig toys.

i have two guinea-pigs as previously mentions, and on the 14th of jan it was their birthday, for which i got them a 6ft x 6ft run with a top on, previously had a smaller topless run however after a cat incident they didn't go in it as much as i would have liked.  anyway, i was looking for hide-houses for them for their hutch in various pet websites and found them all over £10 which i thought was a tad expensive so i have made my own hide house. total cost? £3

so its a basic basket from duluen mill. 

 take out the fabric

 and cut a hole that is guineapig size

 make sure there is no sharp edges.

 and its defiantly a fave with fudge! straight in it and has been camped out in there since, biscuit hasn't had a look in. 

not sure how long it will last  compared to shop ones but they love it so far, the top if flat so makes a great place for them to climb onto.  and its now under neath their hay rack!  on the look out for other things to use for them now!
