DIY Scented Candle Gifts & Free Printable labels

One of the biggest mistakes I make around Christmas is making more work for myself. I love making gifts for my friends and family but get so lost in the idea that what I’m making has to be incredibly elaborate and complicated to be received well. It’s something I think a lot of my maker friends suffer from too. We think that if something is too simple or “easy” it’s not worth as much as a shop bought present. This is ridiculous. I know that if I buy a machine made, off the shelf candle, very little effort has gone… Read More

And we’re off! A little later than I’d hoped. It’s been one of those crazy Sundays. But here it is. Your chance to be the owner of this beauty!

I’ve been mostly playing with paper but I’m looking forward to trying it out on fabric. EEEEK!! Expect to see something on that very soon! But let’s get right to it! Enter by following the directions below. It’s not… Read More

Buy or DIY | Seven Winter Hat Hacks to keep you Cosy & Stylish

I have that kind of hair that frizzes wildly out of control at the mere sight of cloud, so for me winter is always about how I can keep my hair under control and not look like I’m living in arctic conditions. This means that in any given winter month I have a number of hats for any mood (or outfit) I might be in. So much so that they have gone way past being a practical item and are now part of my daily winter uniform (even if they’re not on my head you know there’s one in my… Read More

Marbled Paper Chain Christmas Decoration

This marbled paper chain christmas decoration might be one of the quickest, easiest and perhaps most wonderful festive DIY ever made! (Well by my two hands at least.) And it’s a great way to use up off cuts and left over contact paper from projects like these DIY Marble Planters or these Marbled Envelopes. I think you already get how this one goes but here are the directions anyway! Materials Contact paper | Craft knife | Cutting Mat | Ruler Cut the marbled paper into equal sized strips. Peel off the backing paper and loop sticking one end over the other. Take… Read More

Irresistibly Easy DIYs for Christmas

Guys, life it chaotic right now. It’s Christmas all over this joint – but not in a beautifully decorated way. It’s more of a strewn decorations here, scattered eucalyptus leaves over there sort of festive feeling. I’m enjoying this build up to when I get to do it for real. I even got to make a mess with wrapping paper yesterday! But I still have so many ideas to share with you. I know what you’re thinking right now (or at least I think I do!) Christmas is stressful enough without the chaos of over complicated DIYs. That’s why at this… Read More

DIY Paint Dipped Advent Calendar Bottles

We don’t usually go for advent calendars  to countdown to Christmas. Mostly because I’ve never seen a vegan chocolate advent calendar (although I’m sure they do exist) until now! In fact these mini glass jars can be used for not only sweet treats but for messages and small gifts that you can peek at before the day arrives! EDIT: Sharing this post on my Insta account I had a flash of inspiration. Next year each time there is a special or memorable moment I’m going to note it down, fold it up and fill a bottle with it. Then when December rolls around… Read More

How to Pick the Perfect Planner Part Two: Business

It’s only the second in our four part series and I already know I will come out of this wanting more planners than when I began. It’s not a bad problem to have though. At least I know that the planner (or two… or three even) I do end up with will be everything I need. It will be my unicorn! (new planner terminology I’m learning. Thanks ClaireabelleMakes!) In this post I wanted to look at covering blogging and business. It’s coming up to the anniversary of my first year in blogging and during this time I’ve been dipping my… Read More
