The teachings of Mr Saucy Squirrel

This post today is high-tech on the down-low. The low-down on the upcycle. Use, abuse, and reuse.

Cycle, recycle, upcycle, unicycle. Nuts roll. Nuts rule.

In the last month, the two in the bush (craft) as the proverbial saying goes, weren't worth the one in the hand. So I quit. Much to the disbelief of all working there, just plain quit it.
I have spent the last few months learning a bit of carpentry, making things out of pallets, the first of my objets d'art was a blanket chest/coffee table for my sister/brother-in-law.

Next, I began finding pallets everywhere so I carried on, for some inspiration, check out www.instructables.com. Feeling inspired but without more customers, I had to find a space and fit something into it, so I made a shelving unit to put my books on, and an Adirondack chair for my parents' patio.

With my Kindle it make sit easy not to read real books, but after the few months of reading the Kindle, the initial novelty has worn off, and i am happily balancing the both. The Kindle and an amazing site called http://www.gutenberg.org/ has introduced me to books, i've never thought of reading, currrently on my Kindle is the Scarlet Pimpernel, Madame Bovary, and the Allan Quartermain series...
Today having to look after my little brother who was 'ill', I decided to have a nice freshly made coffee. Obviously a coffee needs something sweet, so just as the coffee is bubbling, out come freshly baked dark chocolate and almond cookies.
Orders now being taken for cookies and chairs... bookshelves and biscuits...
