I've been pottering with the wax again this weekend. I got some new scents to try out so made some candles, melts and tarts with Freesia, Clean Cotton and Carribean Coconut ~ yum!
I have had a few enquiries about the bubblegum scented stuff, due to the fact that I spilled my precious scent all over the kitchen I will have to invest in some more soon, and will pop some more tea lights and bits in the shop.
I found a lovely wild rose tea set last week and I fell for the sugar bowl.
I have made myself a candle with this and it's currently in pride of place on my coffee table ~ carribean coconut mmmmm.
I also had a fight with a roman blind this weekend. I bought the fabric last year, started it over Easter, made an arse of it and fixed it this weekend.
Before and After
If that wasn't enought stress I had to make another one. They are not terribly impressive but boy were they a pain to do ~ lots of swearing happened!
Another quick make was this t-shirt mini makeover; I got the idea from Mum of All Trades last week and shamelessley copied it!
'Mam's pimped her top', Thomas announced :0)

I have several things to say:
Your flower-shaped melts are gorgeous!
Roman shades/blinds look like a pain in the arse.
And that shirt is too freakin' adorable! I have so many plain shirts I now need to pimp. I too shall steal this idea :)
That pimped top looks brilliant! (Do I recognise some of those buttons?!)
I think I will be shamelessly copying that idea too!! xxx
Love the pimped T, may have to borrow this idea myself ;o)
The caribbean coconut sound delish, may have to try those out and the little sugar bowl is adorable!

Your melts look fabulous, I need to get my candle making stuff out and make so more as I nearly used all my tea cup candles up. Scarlett x
I love the pimped up top on you (and may I say what fabulous booboids you have?). That blind is fab and the sound of Caribbean coconut has me longing for sun and cocktails. xxx
Wow that top is great - fab idea! Mmmmm coconut scents are delicious :) x
I have NO shame and will be stealing this idea in the very near future x
Your title made me giggle (bad mind and all that!!). Love all the craftiness...buttons are always a hit with me!! Cx
Love the blind, it looks fab in your kitchen :) I have used this fabric on cushion covers in the living room. Great idea on the t-shirt, it's always great to copy, eerr, get inspiration from others!!
Bee happy x
Have a delicious day!
I just love those candley things you've made, especially the tea cup and saucer. Another fab idea for t-shirt pimping is ribbon or lace round the neckline. You could also add buttons to that. xxx
Your blind looks brilliant, it's something I'd like to have a go at one of these days. It may have been a chew on but it feels good to finish something off like that doesn't it? Loving buttons as embellishments - looks brill! x
Oooh, lovely! The new melts are too, too sweet. How embarrassed am I for sending you those boring silcon mould now! I love the sugar bowl too. I've got some stuff to send you. I'll try and get it in the post tomorrow. xxxx
Ooh love your new melts. Super T shirt too - it looks very Bodenesque!!
Loving the t-shirt honey and those blinds are super, I have a passion for polka dots!
Isn't the rosey china perfect for your lovely candles, love the lidded pot!
Love the pimped up T-shirt, may have to try this :) x
I also love the t-shirt.

Ooh, freesia! Let me know how that scent turns out - it sounds gorgeous.
I love fresh cotton smell, your melts look great :)
I would not even attempt a blind as it would end up in the garden lol well done for persevering with yours it looks great at your window :)
