Phew, what a productive Sunday I had today. I finally finished Eugenides’ The Marriage Plot (good, but nowhere near as memorable as Middlesex), baked a loaf of English muffin bread (it is gooooood), cleaned the flat, made cover for my new Kindle:
Handmade Kindle cover
Kindle all snug inside
I followed the instructions on Instructables and then added a few more bits and pieces to make it a bit prettier. I was admiring these upcycled book covers on Etsy and thought I could save myself a bit of money by making one myself. So, instead of EUR 40+ for a cover, I spent EUR 15 and spent an hour making it.
Then I made a colourful display my vintage sunglasses:
A canvas, a ruler, paint, clothes pegs and a hot glue gun, voila!
We have a few canvases in the back of the closet collecting dust, so I took one out, measured off some rectangles, painted them and then hot-glued some clothes pegs to it. Voila, now I can take my vintage/oddball sunglasses collected over the years out of the shoebox.
And finally…I did something with all of those passport photos we’ve collected off our friends over the years:
The Wall of Fame
I used another canvas, painted it, covered it with a textured medium, stuck the photos on, and then nailed the canvas to the back of a frame that we bought on Queen’s Day four years ago (yes, it’s been sitting in the closet that long).
Voila, a great way to spend a freezing cold Sunday in Amsterdam.
