Work Vest Refashion

04:29

Hi all,

First off let me say sorry for the random times and days that some of my recent blog posts have come out!
The Internet of late has not been very reliable, therefore, I am getting the blog posts out when ever I can. (when there's Internet to post them)

With that said, This weeks post is a little sneak peek at how I turned my

Queensland Op-shop find into a stylish work vest!

While I was travelling in Queensland I picked up a black vest at a Op-shop that I thought would be just what I needed for a work vest. But, Unfortunately it must have been a company vest because it had a company logo/name embroidered on the front of it. Well the vest was a good fit and price so I bought it and decided to take up the challenge of refashioning it into something special when I got back home.Well, when I got back from holidays I got straight into it and here's how I did it.

The Original Vest

Firstly I needed something to cover the company name so I searched for ideas through my fabrics and embellishments.After looking through all my embellishments and coming out with nothing that would cover the whole company name I came out with a piece of leftover fabric from an apron

I had made for a girlfriend of mine.

I cut out one of the flowers from the fabrics pattern and sewed it over the old company logo/name leaving about a centimetre from the edge of the fabric ( I'll tell you why I did this in a second).

I them got some black embroidery thread and embroidered around each section of the flower to make it stand out and look like it belonged on the vest.

To finish it off I got a pin and frayed around the edge of the flower patch.

( the reason I left a centimetre from the edge is so I could fray it)

I quick Selfie before heading to work!

I love my refashioned vest and I have worn it to work every one since refashioning it.

Vests are such a great idea because they keep your body warm while not making your

arms to bulky when your trying to get work done!

God bless,

Scarf Love

23:29

Hi All,

I have discovered a new found love for scarves!

They are perfect for dressing up a plain t-shirt or covering up a neckline that is just a bit too low. Scarves are also amazing for adding additional colour to an outfit or tying an outfit together. Because of my love of scarves, I am so excited to show you the three latest scarves that my sister, Anita, has made for Godzgear, her online Etsy store. You can see the awesome scarves and aprons that my sister makes by either clicking on the link below or by clicking on the product photos in the sidebar on the right, where she displays her latest designs.

From Beauty to Beauty

01:23

Well our travels continue I am ever amazed at the stunning landscapes our Awesome God has made. I've stood on the edge of rugged red breakaways surrounded by the unique colour of the Australian outback. I've walked through tropical forests hiding crystal clear billabongs. I've driven past kms and kms of cattle stations with their stunning drought masters and brahman lining the roads. And now, as we enter the Atherton table lands I am greeted by rolling hills, grass lands, dairy farms and oh what beauty!

Revelation 4 verse 11
" you are worthy oh Lord to receive
All glory, honour and praise.
For you created all things and by your will
They exist and we're made"

P. S
Some of my favorite spots this week:
Borroloola Rodeo, Mataranka springs, charters towers ( it is such a beautifully built town, it was built back in the gold rush era )
