A thrifty Aussie mum with the audacity to DIY anything. Old house, new projects, & life back home after a decade abroad 🛠️

I’m starting on my second winter being back in A I’m starting on my second winter being back in Aus after more than a decade away and I guess I just forgot how cold the houses here are?? Like why am I colder in my house in Queensland than I was in a Wyoming winter? 😭 how are we all fixing this? Uggs and prayers? 😅

Between preloved finds from Salvos Stores and my @cricut_anz Maker 4, I made something so much more personalised to my 4- and 6-year-old than anything I was finding online (and those custom chore charts were going for $60-80+ each!). 

I used permanent vinyl on the acrylic sheets, glued a few rare earth magnets on the back for the print-and-cut magnets to stick, then glued a couple of tacks on the back so it would sit nicely on the pinboard. 
So easy, and keeping items in circulation and out of landfill is an added bonus, too. 

Now I keep thinking about what other systems I can overhaul with this iconic duo.
