Frightening

I'm feeling Guilty for not having blogged in over 12 days. I've been busy doing lots of different bits and pieces. I also fell off the bandwagon as I didn't menu plan last week or buy my lunches for the week, instead I went to the supermarket day by day. Feeling very frustrated with myself as I was disorganised and chaotic. And as I have said many times, disorganisation means wasteful tendencies. And so, I wasted, but it wasn't over the top.

Anyway to get back into the spirit of blogging I thought I would share one of the lovely activities I completed with Dolly at our bottom garden plot on the weekend.

Taddah!!! A gorgeous scarecrow girl. Not very frightening, but very entertaining.

Ready to Twirl and Dance.

I decided to create her with Dolly when my neighbour Mr T told me he had purchased new pillows and thrown out his old ones. So dumpster diving he went and we gave his pillows a second chance to shine. We looked around our home for items we could use to make our girl and found everything within 5 minutes. Old tights, 80's dress from dress up pile, old fishing hat, gloves that have been collecting dust (we live in the tropics) and an ugly purple thermal top that I wore in France January 2011 to keep from freezing. We filled it all with pillow stuffing and viola! Created a lovely girl to entertain the crowds and the birds.

Within 2 hours, I saw 3 visitors to the Botanical Gardens shoot photo's of the scarecrow with us and without us. So I was really feeling the 5 minutes of fame and glory :-)
