How to get Back to the Good Old Days of Pinterest

I’ve actually found a way to turn back time. (ok, ok. Big statement there but here me out.) Remember those good old days when your Pinterest feed actually had pins in from the people you follow circa 2014? When you Pinned something and everyone who followed you would see that pin and you know, pin it too. Then things started to change. This might be a little controversial but when Recommended Pins (as they were known back then) first launched on Pinterest I loved them! Every 5-10 pins from my followers popped up something beautiful based on the pins I… Read More

How to Make a DIY Midcentury Fruit Basket

Like many people my diet changes drastically with the seasons. In the summer I just cannot get enough salad and fruit (on the side of pizza/burgers of course), but as soon as the weather starts hinting at winter I’m all about the carbs. Forget adding pomegranate to that salad. I’ll add mash potato, and can someone take away these green leaves, please! Comfort eating is my favourite thing to do, so over the years I’ve got it down to a fine art. The thing is I’ve actually come to realise that I’d probably benefit from all those vitamins more in the… Read More

Five Modern Makers – Macrame Inspiration

Thanks to We Make Collective every two months I get myself immersed in a new creative outlet. I am researching everything in that niche. I notice more when the craft pops into my feed on Instagram or starts appearing more in my suggested Pins. And to be completely honest I become a little obsessed. Octobers WMC kit is Macrame. The more I learn about this mesmerising technique the more I love it. One of the best parts of doing all this research is finding massively inspiring makers who are taking the craft and finding ways to make it their own. Here… Read More

50 Must Do DIY Projects | August

Happy September! I hope your August was as great as mine. Even though many, many years have past since I was in school I still feel like September is the time to start buckling down working hard after the summer. It’s great to get one last burst of energy before the Christmas rush and hopefully a more relaxed end to the year.

DIY Stained Glass Bottles

I’ve always been a little obsessed with stained glass. I love exploring old churches with those beautiful windows. If you find them at the right time of day the colour from the light can change the atmosphere around you. It’s quite magical. I’ve wanted to try recreating that look for years. I love playing with perspex but there’s nothing quite like the way sunlight moves through glass. So I’ve made these colourful, translucent bottles for beautiful storage, small vases or just very pretty windowsill accents that you can whip inexpensively.

Solopreneur Style | Changes

Dress – Peacocks (on sale now!) | Sandals – Similar here I don’t know if it’s because a lot of my work relies on the right light or because I’m a summer girl at heart, but I’ve noticed the days are getting shorted and the evenings are getting darker. I am always shocked when summer starts drawing in. The seasons seem to change way to fast and all of a sudden it’s time to dig out the jumpers and scarves again. It’s a classic case of don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone. I spend most of the summer enjoying longer… Read More
