My other pets

Thought I would share with you some of my pets.
In my previous post I spoke about my cute little froggies, I have 4 of them at night when we have turned the lights off and go to bed they start chirping away I love the noise they make.
 
Another pet I have is my 2 mice. M&M and peanut here is a pic of peanut she is little bit fatter now though.
Another pet I have is my bearded dragon Fred he is the laziest animal around


 The last of pets is my munchkin turtle he is a short necked turtle and is only about 3-4cms. I got him about 2 years ago I love how small he is. 


My first pet was a long necked turtle and I had him for 18 years before he unfortunately died on Christmas 3 years ago he was the best pet ever. I could go on holidays for a couple of days and he would be fine that is the reason why my dad let me have him. 
As you can see I do not have the conventional dog or cat but I love them all just the same.
What pets do you have?

Homemade jewellery stand


Just sharing what I made on the weekend this jewellery stand was made out of a photo frame that I bought from the local $2 shop. I bought one that has a stand on it so I can just place it on my table instead of having to hang it but you could use either.
  • To make your own all you need to do is take out the back of the frame and remove the glass.
  • Then I marked out where I wanted the holes for my earrings to go, down the bottom I put all my smaller paired earrings together. The next level of holes was for the earrings that dangle so I put a gap of about 3-4cms, the next level I put holes for the hooks for bracelets, then the top level is for necklaces. Once I had marked the holes I got the good old trusty drill out and drilled the holes only 1mm bit was used.



    • I then glued felt over the inside of the wood insert to make it more squishy. Over the felt I glued material that I liked.

    • Then I put the backing back into the frame and got a thick pin and pushed through the material at the front through to the back where the holes were I had drilled earlier. I also screwed in some hooks I had left over, you can use any type of hooks that you like.
    • To finalize I hammered in some thumb-takes in the top for hanging rings on and also thumb-takes were put in the side for pendants to be hung. 

    Thats it! It only took me a couple of hours to complete and there is endless variations you could try. Let me know if you give it ago would love to see yours.
