Meet the Creative – Revamped by Sara

June 15, 2018

I’d like you to meet one very creative woman, Sara Treanor of Revamped by Sara. I’ve never met Sara in person, but she’s one of those lovely people that you just click with on social media, she’s supported me in my work and is one of the loveliest people I’ve yet to meet. Hopefully we’ll catch up in person soon … More Meet the Creative – Revamped by Sara

Thanks to the lovely @lisashawradio and @bbcneandcumbria for playing My Tunes this week. . A bit late, but not too late to listen to me ramble on about upcycling, workshops, well-being, and god knows what else. Catch up on Monday and Tuesday on the @bbcsounds app or via iplayer. Or listen every day this week around 11.45am on BBC Radio Newcastle. . #radio #interview #creativejunkie #creativejunkiesworkshop #localradio #bbc
So a crappy week ended with raising £807 for FACT (fighting all cancers together) last night at the @newcastleeagles game. The charity supported my friend and her family through their cancer journey. Our little basketball family wanted to say thankyou to them. Reminds us of what is truly important in life. Thanks to everyone who donated, helped, bought tickets. Truly humbling. #cancer #charity #fact #factcancersupport #basketball #family @hardwoodventures @hoopfreakz
Our little basketball family lost the strongest, most positive woman I've ever had the pleasure of calling a friend on Friday. @pinnockrebecca taught me it doesn't matter what you have in life, it's about making memories with family and friends. Hug your family a little tighter today everyone. 🙏💔 FACT supported her and her family through her whole journey. We'll be looking to do a fundraiser with the Cardinal Hornets soon. . @newcastleeagles
Instead of the left over baubles sitting in my shed until next year's workshops, I've hung them in groups with blue ribbon instead. Just by changing a ribbon you can totally change the look of cheap baubles. They're not just for trees! . . . #baubles #christmasbaubles #chrismtas #decor #thinkdifferent #revamp #hallway #paperpompom #craft
So sad to hear the news that @muro.buro has left this world. This print will now stay on my my wall always in memory of a very talented local artist. My year has been surrounded by cancer and it breaks my heart to hear it's taken someone else far too young. I never met Paul but his art is timeless. . #fuckcancer #fuckcancer🎀 #rip #cruel
Our main tree went up last week but we've had such a busy week that we're only just getting round to decorating the rest of the house today. Can't wait to get all my colourful, quirky and handmade decs out for my twig tree and hallway. How are you spending your Saturday? . . . #christmastree #christmas #christmasbaubles #christmasmakes #handmadechristmas #family #calmbeforethestorm
My upcycled suitcase comes to every one of my workshops. It's the perfect box to transport all my materials. Sharon from @thecrafthood_ described me as the Mary Poppins of craft, like her big carpet bag. 😂. @curious_smark described it as a box of curiosities! When I get home it sits nicely in my living room too, no ugly plastic boxes. . The graphic designer in me cringes every time I look at my built in signage though. Done in a hurry one day and still haven't got round to changing it! 🙈. . . #marypoppins #craft #workshops #upcycling #storage #noplastic #plasticfree #signage #chalkboardpaint #map
Trying to make tiny changes this December. I'm convinced that my January blues last year was fuelled by the madness that is Christmas. The pressure to spend on things we don't need, the frustration over all the non-recyclable cards, paper and plastics and even the pressure to have fun for an entire month. . I'm desperately hoping that I can get through the start of the year in one piece this year. I'm planning ahead. I've tried not to overbook myself, trying to think about gift buying and shopping local where I can, and after a very busy work time lately I'm going to try and ease into January at my pace and not try to keep up with everyone else. . Anyone got any top tips on how to stave of January blues? . .#christmastree #christmas #januaryblues #mentalhealth #selfcare #tinysteps #shoplocal #recycling #reusing
Tomorrow is my last festive workshop this year. Since the 10 Dec I've had around 270 people learn a new craft or technique using upcycled items from charity shops, turning blankets and upholstery scraps into decorations and exploring nature to create giant willow stars. Spreading the word of reusing, zero waste and upcycling, while everyone who came enjoyed a little me-time. . . Thanks to @englishheritagenorthofengland Belsay Hall, @ikeauk @northern_quarters @thebiscuitfactorygallery and @balticgateshead for having me!! . . #upcycling #christmas #christmasdecor #handmadechristmas #crafts #christmasbaubles #star #willow #charity #zerowaste
