DIY Drawer Dividers to Organise your Craft Supplies

Work on the studio continues. If you follow my Instagram Stories you’ll have seen me plumb in my sink finally (after months of waiting on my caretaker to do it)! I know it seems like a small difference but having running water makes life a LOT easier. Especially when you’re as messy as me and spend a lot of time around paint, dye and glue products! Bad things happen… But while the studio is now much cleaner (Yay!) it’s still a little big mess and needs organising. My hanging storage is already proving to be a big help and I can… Read More

50 Must Do DIY Projects | July

oh my word! We are late rounding up the month of July. I did spend a few seconds wondering if I should perhaps give this one a miss. But honestly, what was I thinking? After such a great month of DIY’s how could I not share my favourites with you. But before you peruse these gems I have a little news for you all. Fall For DIY has been nominated for it’s very first award! Yes, someone, somewhere likes what I do over here. YAY! Now I really need you to take a second out of your hectic lives and vote… Read More

We Make Collective – Birthday Box Launch Day

If you’re a regular reader you might have noticed the lull in posts this last week. As well as working around the clock to get Augusts We Make Collective boxes ready and posted, and all the online tutorials uploaded (still working on this huge task), I’ve been held up on a farm for a few days (I’d like to say against my will, but I went willingly thinking I would have some access to the Internet – at least on my phone… not the case). So as it turns out I had a forced digital break for a few days. I… Read More

DIY your own Lavender Margaritas and the Glasses to Drink them from too!

**This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Altos Tequila for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine. It’s Thursday which means we’ve almost made it through the week. That in itself deserves a cocktail I think. I’m typically a wine lover, but when the sun comes out I can’t resist a cocktail or two. As I’m getting older my drink tastes have developed and my cocktail choices have become more adventurous. Instead of ordering something which is pretty standard from the menu I now look for the twist. I want that combination of flavours I haven’t tried together… Read More

How to Weave a Basket Planter

We all know that the plant lady is the new cat lady, but what about the basket lady? Is that the new plant lady…? Or perhaps more the new bag lady. Either way I’m pretty sure I’m turning into a full on basket lady. After last weeks Basket Clock DIY tutorial I’ve moved onto how to weave a basket planter, you know, just to pass the time. Basket weaving is always a little tricky. It would be so much easier if I just had a couple of extra pairs of arms. Sometimes it seems like you need to hold it in… Read More

Making an Entrance | Before & After

I’m absolutely over the moon to share this before and after with you today. One of the goals I’m currently working towards is being able to buy my own home. I want to get a run down place and completely transform it into my own little space in the world. I have too many ideas and I have to admit I’m so massively impatient when it comes to getting something I really want. This project (a makeover my sisters new fixer upper) has given me enough of a nibble on the dream stick to tide me over… for now. So… Read More

Make a DIY Embroidered Basket Clock

Hey! Today’s DIY post is one that I’m especially pleased to be sharing with you. Firstly because I love it! Give me anything basket shaped and I’m yours and secondly because I’m finding I’m moving towards using watches and clocks over my phone as a way of telling the time at the moment. I think it’s because I’m always looking to improve my own productivity and find ways of getting more done in my day with smarter working techniques. I can write lists like my life depends on them but when it comes to working through each task I am… Read More

Studio Update: Craft Supplies | How to Organise Your Creative Space

When I moved into my new studio my first though was how tidy I was going to be now I have all this space to play with. (Actually, that’s a lie. My first thought was damn it’s cold in here – how can I heat this ice box!? But that’s not as fun a memory.) I was convinced that since the supplies had lived in a room an eight of the size, once I moved everything over it would be a breeze getting organising now I had this extra room. I had high hope things would find their own homes,… Read More
