Learn a New Skill with Skillshare

Learn Something New (Just in time for Christmas) with Skillshare

If I had to give one tip for building a successful creative business online it would be this: invest in and expand your skills and keep an open mind to learning new or alternative ways of doing things. This is something I have worked on since day one of my business. Actually before I even started it in fact. Of course I didn’t know it all when I started. And I don’t know it all now. I never will and while that easily applies to the more academic side of my business it also is true when I talk about the… Read More

DIY Mini Pet Wreath Crowns for your Furry Family Holiday Cards

Is there anything cuter than a fluffy bunny in a floral crown? You might disagree with me but I’m not sure you guys. I’ve basically got a Pinterest board dedicated to this exact (let’s call it a) phenomenon. Maybe I’m baised but it is my favourite place on the Internet right now. Need a little pick me up after reading a thread on Twitter? Bunny board. Accidentally read the comments on that article? Bunny board. It’s my antidote to all things angry online. But what’s better than a bunny board? (Out of context that might sound odd.) The real thing…. Read More

DIY Advent Candle

Can I start a countdown to the advent? I know that is essentially counting down to a countdown itself, but my favourite part of Christmas is this time. When festive lights start going up in windows and the shops play non stop Christmas hits. The excitement and anticipation of the event is so much fun. In fact, I enjoy the preparations and the official countdown much more than the day itself. Counting down to Christmas brings back those childhood feelings of magic, but on a practical level it also serves as a reminder of how long (or how little time) we have left! December… Read More

50 Must do DIYs | October

Wow, October’s round up is always a tricky one. I don’t want to give you guys a whole bunch of Halloween DIYs after it’s actually happened, so it’s taken me a little bit longer to find our 50 DIYs this month. October was my birthday month and even though I don’t love going all out for my birthday (anymore) we spent a really fun weekend in London and just enjoyed a very sober few days eating all the food. It was also the month we hit the third trimester, which has suddenly spurred me into action. Before this, I felt like we had… Read More

How I laid Parquet Flooring in the Bedroom

How I Laid Parquet Flooring in our Bedroom

If you watch my Instagram stories you might have seen the start of our bedroom transformation (way) earlier this year. This was one of those projects that I figured might take a month, maybe two but has now been ongoing for maybe double that time (if not more. I’m too scared to actually figure out the dates). Finally the finished room is almost ready to share and you’ll get a little sneak peek in this post, but I still have a few more DIY’s that will complete the makeover. I know a lot of you were waiting to hear more about… Read More

DIY Faux Sheepskin Christmas Wreath

I know, I know. Really? Christmas already? But you guys! I’ve been planning and waiting to start my Christmas DIYs for almost a year now. There’s always so much I don’t get around to each year, so I put them on the list for next year. My lists get longer each year! Christmas is my favourite holiday by far. I’m not really that into my birthday or any other holiday traditions so I have a tendency to get a little overexcited about the festive period. And also (really feeling the need to justify my Christmas crafting guys) we don’t have Thanksgiving… Read More

DIY Wooden Vase

There are a lot of things I love about being a blogger and one of my favourite perks is getting given flowers. Mostly I love this because it makes me feel so special for just showing up. I don’t know about you but sometimes mentally getting through the never ending list of jobs day after day feels like it deserves some sort of recognition. Being given flowers for attending an event is like, you made it through another week? Well done you! (In the least patronising tone you can manage to praise someone on something so basic). This gorgeous bunch is from a lunch I went to… Read More

How to Arrange a Sloped Roof Picture Gallery Wall

Arranging pictures on a wall is tricky at the best of times. Deciding how to group and where to place your artwork and photos next each other is a tricky decision, even when you have a large space to put them in. But when you’re working with a space that is more difficult to arrange it becomes even more testing. I always find that I can spend way too much time procrastinating about the perfect way to arrange a photo wall. I end up on Pinterest for way too long and my pictures end up stacked up on the floor….
