Vegan Valentine’s Treat | Red Velvet Snow-Heart Cakes

Calling all you people with a vegan close to your hearts! Yes, you who have made cashew cream as a cheese sauce replacement or have learnt to love (and understand the benefits) of B12 flakes. You who know every vegan option available in your hometown and go far out of your way to get to the best seitan fake meats for dinner. Yes, guys I am right here with you. Sometimes it can be pretty challenging living with someone with such a restrictive diet (especially when all you want is cheese on toast for dinner), but however hard it is… Read More

Last Call for February’s We Make Collective Kit

I’ve been stress-free for the last couple of months and I’m pretty sure it’s all down to my new form of stress relief. Forget the punch bag and pick up the needle felting sponge instead. Isn’t it great when crafting helps clear your mind like that! All this jabbing has got pretty addictive and I’ve been waking up looking forward to poking trying something new every day! Before I started I thought all needle felting was about making those super cute Kawaii animals and while there is nothing wrong with making tiny, big-eyed, ‘I want to eat it’ cute things… Read More

DIY Brush Painted Mugs

Guys, I have to tell you that it is cold in the studio at the moment. I know, it’s January – I’m stating the obvious. But it’s now so cold that I have had to cut images from this tutorial due to having some serious pink hand. Like a visible difference in colour of my fingers from the palm section. Instead of spending half an hour trying to photoshop some normality back into my skin colour I figured you guys can probably get the gist of painting onto mugs without every detailed step. In fact, I’d go as far as… Read More

Eight Books you Need to Organise Everything in Your Life

I (like most other people) fall for the life-changing magic of New Year’s resolutions every year. You know, that time of year when you can achieve something through only willpower, a click of your fingers and a spoon full of sugar. Sorry, I’m having flashbacks to my Christmas dose of Mary Poppins. But while we at it, wouldn’t it be just wonderful if tidying really was actually that easy? In reality making that resolution to be tidier or more organised takes (perhaps ironically) some organisation. And if there’s anything I can talk about with some authority it’s how you can’t just… Read More

Keep on Track with this DIY Calendar Wall Stand & Free A4/A3 Printable Calendar

As far as free calendar printables go I think I’m running a little bit late with my offering, but then again my January’s are usually bookmarked for catching up, catching my breath and (another catching my breath figure of speech? Nope) making my plans for the next 11 months until we start the whole process over again. And wow, don’t those months fly by. I have to admit I don’t think I’ve actually completed any of my last years business goals. Not even 1 year into self-employment I have to admit my resolutions may have been slightly optimistic and very impractical…. Read More

Brighten up your Bedroom Decor with this DIY Gym Ring Hanging Lamp

Reading more often is that one resolution which seems to be top of my list every year, but always gets put to the bottom of the pile without me actually noticing. I’ve always loved reading but starting your own business (as well as all the other of life’s commitments) doesn’t give you a lot of free time for fiction. I start each year with all the best intentions to read in every spare moment, only when it actually comes down to it I get too guilty! I should be responding to that email or writing up that tutorial. Not wasting… Read More

DIY Coiled Rope Tassel Snack Bowl

I’m really starting to notice the difference between my summer and winter diet. In the summer I eat healthier, drink more water and generally feel more energetic in the warmer months. But as soon as we hit November I get the urge to comfort eat and snack throughout the day. It’s a vicious circle. I feel cold and low on energy so I eat to combat my fatigue. In the winter months as my general diet goes downhill and as I get busier over the holidays my go to’s become quick, unhealthy junk food. I stop eating the right kinds… Read More

Behind the Blog | Refocus

Happy New Year everyone! The new year is usually a moment I look forward to. After a break it can feel amazing to refocus and start to put into place those plans that have been on the to-do list for usually way too long. This year it feels a little different. I’m still excited about the possibilities of the next year, but my own shortcomings from 2016 have left me feeling a bit inadequate and scared going into this year. And the thing is I know what the problem is, but it doesn’t make it any easier to know why… Read More
