My recycled outfit-for Fashion show-Next friday

Well the variety show is nearly here,dress rehersal on monday and the show is the friday after! Almost finished my outfit, not that I ever intended to make one for me but got talked into it and now feeling a tad bashful about it. My daughter took this pic of me in said outfit- a halter top and A line skirt,made out of local newspaper and lots of duck tape and covered with masking tape. The skirt now has dark brown ribbon roses on it to match the top and so do my shoes, have found a brown felt bag and added a ribbon rose to that,the hat is also a little different as I have now added newspaper to that to and is drying out in my shed-ohh what have I let myself in for????

From dominoe tin to clock....work in progress

I bought a jungle clock to make kit, from a charity shop and it cost £1.50 ages ago. I have been itching to use the parts and bits from it to make other stuff with all the goodies inside.
I have done lots of altered dominoes of late and kept( never throw anything away me) the tins they come in. So have been thinking what can I do with this and this and decided to make a dominoe tin clock!
Painted tin in a suede effect brown-and so far edged it in gold and figured out how to attach clock bit, not hard at all!
Just thought I would show you all what I have done so far, it is far from finished but this is my first altered clock and wanted to share it with you because I am like a big kid!

Latest altered dominoes

These are some of the dominoes I made on Friday,whilst demonstrating to the French kids, from my son's school. These are a few of the 70 odd dominoes I drilled in preparation for this demonstration.
The kids loved it and ended up making about three each and where raving about it.Even their teachers asked if they could do one too!
It was nice to see that some did different things and a few of them hand painted the Scottish flag on theirs.

I have a busy week ahead of me this week,at school still doing costumes and this week,we are going to practise strutting our stuff on the stage. I am also in middle of decorating and also hubby is 40 at the weekend,so trying to plan a surprise BBQ-which will be a hard one as he is off on Friday,Saturday, Sunday AND Monday!!!
Watch this space!!!!!!
