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

Christmas Wishes & Monochrome Sugar Cookies (Vegan Friendly)

This is my last post before I head off for a festive break but I wanted to quickly share this cookie recipe with you. I’ve never made sugar cookies before and on a whim I decided I needed some monochrome stars for Christmas day. What can I say, this time of year brings out the baker in me! Now I’m not much of a baker and if I can make these after a glass of mulled mine then anyone can make them! And because they are vegan (almost) anyone can eat them. I’ve just made these ones today and they… Read More

Eight Must Listen Podcasts for 2017

This post brought to you by Tivoli Audio. The content and opinions expressed below are that of Fall For DIY. There are many benefits to working alone. For a start I don’t have to worry if I’m looking a little dishevelled occasionally (ok, most of the time) and I get to make a mess without worrying I’m in anyone’s way. But I have to say it does get a little lonely. I can be shut up in the studio for 10 hours a day without seeing anyone else so for company I turn to podcasts. I’ve confessed my podcast addiction… Read More

DIY Mini Plywood Individual Cheeseboards

The cheeseboard is a hotly anticipated event in our house. It’s literally been planned for months. We get in a pretty special range of vegan “meat” charcuterie and cheeses and then an even more impressive selection of mini real cheeses. As the non-vegan of the household I have my pick of which cheese we get. (I am going to be the only person eating it… the one perk of living with a vegan) The only problem is as soon as we get to the deli I am overwhelmed with the choice! The cheese struggle is real you guys. Anyway, whether you… Read More
