DIY Needle Felted Christmas Tree Star Ornaments

DIY Needle Felted Christmas Star Tree Ornaments

Each year we add a few more DIY ornaments to the tree. And while I believe that pretty much everything goes together on a Christmas tree, making things that won’t completely clash with everything else on the tree is pretty satisfying! Black and white together is classic and easily goes with any colour, including the all-important bronze, gold or silver (because you’ve always got to have at least one shiny, bling it up colour at Christmas!) I’ve found that one of the easiest ways to mix up your decorations while keeping them cohesive is playing with texture. There’s often a lot of… Read More

The Best Independent Craft Shops in London

The Best Independent Craft Shops in London

This is my favourite time of year for crafting and creating. When it’s cold outside there’s nothing like getting cosy under a blanket with a project or two and a mug of mulled wine. I love to up my game with Christmas gifts and decorations and on a recent trip to London I picked up a few tools and materials so my Christmas This is also a great time of year to support local and independent businesses! Here are some of my favourite Indie craft shops in London. Village Haberdashery Photo credit Village Haberdashery Everything a good haberdashery should have… Read More

Handmade with Love Ultimate Bundle

I’m doing something a little different today which I really hope you guys will love. I am so excited to be a part of this amazing group of women who have come together to offer up their skills and knowledge in one huge handmade bundle. If you’re unfamiliar with bundle offers this basically means we each put an ecourse or ebook into the offer and sell it at a huge discount (97% to be exact). We then make a commission for each bundle we sell. I could not have been more happy when they asked me to be a part… Read More

Esty Made Local – My Picks for the Nursery

Our nursery (or as we call it at home, baby room) makeover is finally underway! Over the weekend things went from 0 to 60 as we took up the old flooring, laid down the new laminate floor (more on that later) and moved this sofa into the room. I say we… by that I mean Alex and his Dad. All while I unsuccessfully tried my hardest not to make life more difficult for them. I always joke that I do most of the DIY by myself because that way it will get done how I want it. I felt like… Read More

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 Christmas Cards | @fallfordiy

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 | @fallfordiy

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
