Upcycling is all about taking a preloved item and transforming it - whether it's turning old skateboards into a coffee table, pallets into a home entertainment unit or repurposing an old baby cot into a desk for your little learners.
Unleash your creativity on your neighbourhood by sharing your creation in this year's Resene Upcycling Awards. Make sure you tell us about any Resene paints, colours and stains you've used - and don't forget your before and after photos. You could win one of four prizes worth $500!
Entries close Sunday 5 May.
Does anyone know of someone who could draft a sewing pattern from an existing coat. Thanks.
This suitcase is still available for an offer. Somehow it was marked as withdrawn. I I expect about $30 or near offer.

A letter co-signed by Christchurch mayor Lianne Dalziel and Environment Canterbury chairman Steve Lowndes asked for swift changes to be made to the Local Government Act, which currently blocks the transfer of public transport responsibilities from ECan to the city council.
But Transport Minister Phil Twyford said in a letter sent more than a month later that he had no intention to fast-track the changes needed.
Do you think management of the city's bus services should change? Read the full story by clicking the link below and share your thoughts in the comments. (Please write NFP if you don't want your comments used by Stuff/The Press).

Our littlest people need your help. Poverty doesn’t start at 5, but until now there’s been no nationwide programme to help preschoolers who are hungry and cold.
KidsCan is changing that. They’re delivering raincoats, shoes and five fresh meals a week to 25 early childhood centres. Attendance is up, and the children are happier and more settled.
"Everyone has the same meal so children don't feel like they have less," Manaia View Kindergarten teacher Kathy Belz says. "It's upholding everyone's mana.”
40 more centres are waiting for help. KidsCan, Stuff and Neighbourly have partnered up to raise enough money to support 1000 more children - and we need 400 more generous Kiwis to hold little hands. To support a child, sign up at KidsCan.org.nz

I'm working on a social enterprise called Bird in a Cage to raise awareness and funds in the fight against human trafficking, in particular sex slavery. 100% of the profits from my business will be donated to an organisation working with victims (Hagar) and in the future I hope to employ survivors to make my products giving them a new way of life but also to tell their stories.
I'll be starting with a range of jewellery, soaps and whatever else I can come up with!
I have a pledgeme campaign running that finishes on Monday night. I have already raised $8,000 and have $2,000 to go! If I don't reach my target I have to start again as none of the pledges will go through.
If you can help by sharing on social media or donating I'd be so grateful! The campaign has been limited to my friends and family but thought I'd reach out to my neighbours as well.
The link for more info and to donate is:
pledgeme.co.nz...
Thanks for considering,
Angela Crocker
