You guys! How has your weekend been? I’ve had a week of intense work on the new We Make Collective site. I’ve been putting in all the hours because I wanted it to be ready for when our collective-eees received the latest kits. So that has meant packing and coding and admining and editing all the live long day – but I could not be happier with the result (even though there are still a few minor bugs that need fixing but they’ll get done eventually.) To celebrate the launch of the new site we’re sharing a tutorial from our members areas everyday… Read More
Don’t you just love it when you’ve have an idea for a DIY in your mind for a while and then you find the perfect supplies!

Here are my favourite 50 DIY’s from May. Pink Shibori Cushion… Read More
I’ve been having a thing for lavender recently. I love the scent. It’s one of those things that literally makes me happy through my senses. It takes me back to childhood summers roller skating around the small cul-de-sac I lived on. It took us about three minutes to get from the big lavender bush just before the small hill, all the way round and right back round to that scent all over again. And we did this for hours. That smell reminds me of being carefree and out in the sun. It makes me want to dig out my old… Read More
