Two Sunday morning projects!

I have always said . . . I never have nothing to do . . . today is no exception . . . I especially love it when I'm cleaning something up and I find a treasure . . .

PROJECT 1:

While I was cleaning out a jewellery tray on my dresser in my bedroom I came across a bracelet that my mom gave me quite some time ago - and not that I have large wrists but I don't like a bracelet that is too tight!

Two jump rings and my trusty pliers later I have a new necklace!


TOTAL COST:  ZERO

PROJECT 2:

I was in need of a new pair of runners (for walking and riding my bicycle) and I was having a lot of difficulties finding a pair I liked in my size (it is after all going back to school sales time).  Mom and I tried to find one pair and get the second for 50% off but we both couldn't find a pair we each liked so moved on to the next store.  I found a pair of Saucony's at United Cycle for a really good price (probably last year's model) but I wanted coloured laces - so I was on the hunt at lunch time last Friday and found some (fluorescent orange AND pink - chose the pink for now).  I think it turned the runners into something quite flashy!

Original laces on the left - new ones on the right!
TOTAL COST:  $6.00 for the laces
