DIY Paper Cut Christmas Wreath

You guys are the best. After humouring (and well some of you absolutely indulging) my early start to the Christmas celebrations we’re storming ahead with even more! I’m calling it winter decor to Alex for now. Not sure if he’s buying that, but he hasn’t put up too much of a resistance so far. Next step – fairy lights! Until then I have made these winter (CHRISTMAS) paper cut wreaths thanks to Hobbycraft who very kindly sent me over the Cricut Explore to experiment with! Thanks for enabling my holiday obsessions Hobbycraft! You guys! Materials Flat Basket Reed | Cricut Explore |… Read More

DIY Kintsugi Gold Fixed Christmas Baubles

If it were up to me we’d have our Christmas tree up, fairy lights a twinkling and Fairytale of New York on repeat from 1st November until spring next year! But unfortunately common sense prevails. I don’t want to be known on our street as the crazy Christmas lady, so I wait for the appropriate time to start putting up decorations whilst secretly planning away behind the scenes (and perhaps sneaking in a Christmas song  playlist or two). This post blog is for all you fellow Christmas lovers. I’ll be writing quite a few festive posts from this point on,… Read More

How to Pick the Perfect Planner Part One: Goals (+ free printable)

I’ve been well and truly won over by the planner fanatics this year. Anyone who knows me will understand how disorganised I am. If you took one look at my filing system (ie, 10 minute walk around my house to all the areas I keep important documents, for example; the kitchen table, the coffee table, on several areas of the book shelf, bedside table, desk, etc… the list goes on… and on) you would get a sense of it too. I want to make 2016 the year of getting it together (imagine dramatic waving hands) and instead of waiting for January 1st… Read More

DIY Paper Flower Gift Topper

Right, Halloween is over and that means one thing… Christmas preparation can begin! Let’s talk about my favourite topic, gifts! To me the perfect gift is really indulgent. It’s a luxury that I would never consider buying just for myself. Too often I ask for an essential item. Something I need but haven’t got for myself yet. Not the most exciting present right? The best kind of gift is special and unexpected. While I’m still waiting for that designer handbag and holiday to Hawaii (a girl can dream) the next best thing has got to be chocolates. I rarely buy… Read More

WEEK 1 | #sevendayperiscope, The Holiday Collective, #makingwithEtsy and We Make Weavings

Image from @fallfordiy Instagram   Hello, hello, hello!! Here we are with a shiny, new blog feature starting today. This time of year is when all the plans from the past 10 months really begin to come together. So many exciting things are happening for me and for so many other amazing bloggers/creatives, that I’m finding it difficult to share everything I want to. I thought that rounding up the week on a Friday is a great way to end the week, keep you updated on the latest and start the weekend! We’re kicking off with some extra exciting news. I’ve… Read More

DIY Howling Halloween Letter Treat Bags

There are many reasons I love this DIY. It’s very inexpensive, you probably have everything you need already in the house, it’s easy to make and, most importantly it has stopped me eating all the treats before I get to give them away! The trick with these letter bags is to make the thickness of each letter wide enough, with lots of space inside once they are sewn up. Using baking paper means the letter bags are strong enough but easy to rip open once you want to get to what’s inside. And because the paper is just a little… Read More

December’s We Make Collective Kit & Call for Contributors

We’re taking orders for Decembers We Make Collective kit! This one is very special to me, not only because it’s our second kit (which means we made it past the first one!!) but also because of what I hope to get out from it. My goal is to create a learning experience in each kit for every subscriber and that is exactly what I want to personally get from these supplies as well. Now I’m not a complete novice – I’ve done a little hand lettering in the past, but I have a lot to learn to be confident with my… Read More

DIY Embossed Autumn Leaf Candle

It’s no secret that I’m not a fan of these colder, darker nights. I spend 6 months of my year wishing it was the other half. Yes,  I’m in love the summer. I like the freedom of leaving the house at a moments notice without having to think about putting on a coat (does it go with this outfit?) or finding an umbrella to somehow fit into my handbag just in case. I love walking out at 9pm an it’s still daylight. I feel like I have more time and a lot more fun options to fill it with. So,… Read More
