I do clean my makeup brushes occasionally but nowhere near often enough, and even then it's a bit of a half hearted swish around in soapy water!

During a recent charity shop visit, I found a crochet style doily. Now of course I didn't 'need' a doily, but it was a bargain at 20p, so I bought it anyway! So to make sure I put it to good use, I made it into a bowl!
