Introducing…

Most of the time when you see baby announcements on Instagram or blogs there’s usually a few key details included. The time and date of the birth, the weight and maybe most importantly the name of the baby. Our announcement didn’t include any of this information. Maybe I was just too tired or smitten with this boy of ours. But those details didn’t make it into the post. Either because they didn’t seem important at the time or because we didn’t know them yet. Obviously we knew when he was born and his weight (4.20am and 8lb 3) but we choose… Read More

Nursery Room Makeover | @fallfordiy

Nursery Makeover – Before & After

This time three weeks ago we were putting the final touches to a room makeover with a big deadline! I wanted to get the room finished before the baby arrived, mostly because I wanted to be able to relax and spend more time with the baby after he was born. But also because I was in some kind of nesting mania and couldn’t sit still without inventing more jobs for myself! Three weeks on now I get why everyone was telling me to rest (night time isn’t for sleeping anymore), but at that point the idea of resting made me feel more stressed. I… Read More

DIY Half Painted Blanket Ladder | @fallfordiy

DIY Half Painted Blanket Ladder

I’m finally ready to start sharing my bedroom DIYs with you! This room has been a work in progress for such a long time. The day we took up the carpet (and discovered an uneven floor underneath) feels like years ago already, even though we haven’t even lived in this house for a year yet! I get so impatient when I want something to happen, which is why I tend to stubbornly do a lot of these jobs myself (anyone remember the whole flooring saga?). At least this way I’m being proactive, even if it does end up taking so… Read More

DIY Needle Felted Pom Pom Cushion | @fallfordiy

DIY Needle Felted Pom Pom Cushion

Redecorating the baby’s room as renewed my love affair with cushions. Specifically DIY cushions. They have so much creative potential and after the success of my first needle felted cushion post, I’ve been meaning to use the technique again. This time it’s something a little bit more fun and colourful. I want to keep everything in the nursery cheerful and this colour combination is perfect for a gender neutral space that doesn’t rely too heavily on grey and white. It’s not that I don’t love the gorgeous rooms that make the most of these neutral colours. I just don’t want… Read More

FREE Printable Content Planners | @fallfordiy

FREE Printable Monthly Content Planner

I’ve done the unthinkable this year and haven’t invested in a planner… I know. I’ve gone rogue. But I have my reasons. I always have the best intentions to use my chosen planner in all its meal planning, gratitude seeking, organisational glory. But when it comes down to it I end up going off-piste into a notebook or a phone app for either pure convenience or physical space. After trying to train myself to work in the spaces provided for years I’ve finally come around to the fact that my brain dumps need more flexibility. This doesn’t mean I still can’t benefit… Read More

Top 10 DIY Posts 2017 | @fallfordiy

Top 10 DIY Posts of 2017

Hello! Happy New Year everyone! I hope you’ve all enjoyed a fabulous winter break and are feeling refreshed and ready for 2018. At this time of year I always like to look back on the last one from a creative perspective. Building up to the end of the year is usually chaotic for me and I can get out of sync with my brand ethos. It’s pretty easy to get stuck in my own ways and spend time on projects because I want/need to do them, rather than what is helpful and interesting. Taking a moment to step back and analyse the… Read More

DIY Stocking Gift Wrap | @fallfordiy

DIY Parcel Paper Stocking Gift Wrap

I always plan on making more gifts than I actually do. Even with the best intentions time seems to speed up in December and I never get around to ticking everything off the list (which gets longer every year of course!) But I do like to get creative with wrapping my presents, whether I’ve made them or not. In the past I’ve mostly used gift toppers to make my presents more interesting, but this year I’ve upped my game and made this DIY parcel paper stocking gift wrap. You guys know how much I love finding a use for parcel… Read More

DIY Gold Dipped Wooden Tree Decorations

I’m back with another quick decoration DIY today. Wood has a gorgeous natural, Skandi feel when you decorate your tree with it. So I’m keeping it minimal with these wood circles. I’m a big believer that a little bit of gold goes a long way at this time of year. And you need that shiny surface to reflect all those twinkly lights! Keep scrolling for more instructions.
