By Freebies

DIY tin can template of a Halloween pumpkin

This Halloween save the pumpkin!

Make pumpkins from recycled tin cans and save the humble pumpkin from the knife with my latest pumpkin head freebie template.  This is a really simple but fun thing to make with the kids or by yourself. Best of all, this Halloween inspired tin can may be used for all sorts of things, apart from the night glowing spooky face…pencil holder, cutlery or napkin holder for kitchen table top, mini treat holder (for those of us more modest in our trick or treat endeavours), vase for fresh herbs, toothbrush holder..the list goes on…

So what are you waiting for, download the fun now

My workplace

By That's life, Work

Think outside the boxThink outside the cubicle…

Obviously that’s what my workplace was thinking when they recently reconfigured our office floor space… not that I’m complaining. I mean, in this case I’ve moved from office to jungle…

My open plan office

And before I forget, a big shout out to Seeker, long time blogging friend. It was a post she made a few weeks back that planted the cubicle seed.

So, back to the cubicle…What makes your cubicle special?

My cubicle is below…special, huh?

The art of Dali

Dali St anthony fends tempatation

What better way to fight temptation, than with the humble tea towel

This is the next drawing in my Art of Series where I reinterpret famous pieces of art through a cartoon filter and splash them into everyday life by incorporating popular products into the drawing. Then I place the image onto the product for a bit of fun and inspiration. Drying the dishes has got to be more enjoyable with a cartoon on it, doesn’t it?

This particular cartoon is a snippet from Dali’s Temptation of St Anthony. Check out my Art of Dali webpage to not only find our more about this piece of art, but also see what other everyday products I managed to sneak into the painting.

More shades

50 Shades of gay

Ok, I cheated. Pink is not technically part of the gay rainbow banner, but maybe it can be considered as a shade of purple?

The selfie

By That's life

Cell phone selfie

It’s a bit like the selfie stick for mobile phones

So, tell me… do you own a selfie stick? I do… I’ve never used it. It was one of those delightful gifts they sell at Mother’s day stalls in primary school. My daughter thought it was exactly what I needed. Back in my primary school days, I too was convinced of the delightful gifts on offer for mothers. It makes me wonder if my Mum loved all those tea towels I used to buy her. On reflection, she probably loved them as much as my Dad loved his handkerchief Father’s Day gifts.

So, what delightful presents have you given or received?

Witch

Not quite the potion of the witches from Macbeth, but surely just as evil?

As a child I was rather surprisingly taken by the famous witches poem from Macbeth; so much so that I learnt it off by heart at the age of ten. I guess I liked the idea of witches, gruesome ingredients and evil potions. If I could make a potion, I think it would be a truth serum. Yes, not that imaginative, but for some spark, I’d infiltrate the office air conditioning system and watch the fun begin. Evil, aren’t I?

If you could whip up a potion (good or bad), what would it be?
