Crafty Photo Scavenger Hunt April


Good evening from an orange filled The Netherlands, as some of you know we celebrate Queens Day today. I've waited with my entry for the crafty photo scavenger hunt until today, because it's a day filled with photo opportunities! Luckily today was also a beautiful sunny and warm spring day.
















The crafty photo scavenger hunt is an idea started by Kirst and this month hosted by Timballoo.

inspiration
70's brown and orange, I'm starting to see the appeal more and more. My mum used to have a vase like the small brown one in the foreground, wonder where that went?
















something i made
There was a hole in my cardi, so I fixed it. It looks pretty good for someone who can't sew.

 










easter
We don't celebrate easter. But I did wander into a church today, to check out their charity sales. The candles looked beautiful.
















re-purpose
I'm in doubt what photo to post here, so I'll post two! The first was a nice stool I saw today. We've recently had a few trees cut down at the allotment, so this might be an idea for some of the wood. But then photo itself is not very good.


I was originally planning to post this photo of a man using an old cement bag to carry things around on his bike. Cement bags are widely used in Bangladesh as carrier bags.

















motif: symmetry
This is actually an old photo taken two years ago in Indonesia, I use it as a desktop photo at work. The sun shining through these bricks always cheers me up.

    1. Hi Ruth, nice to see you here! Yes the 70s pots were wonderful, it was on the Queens's Day flea market. The stool will become a project I think :)

  3. The Eden Project are now selling recycled cement bags (as luggage and planters) from Bangladesh and I was admiring them last week, small world!

    1. Small world indeed Emma! We've designed some items from recycled cement bags in Bangladesh too, they're being made now. I'll just keep them a surprise for a bit, but I think you'll like them...
