12 Easy DIY Necklace Tutorials you can Make in Half an Hour

Fair warning – I’m about to drop the c-bomb… There are just 14 weeks left until Christmas! (Yes, that one) And I am determined to be more organised this year. I think we could probably go back 12ish months and find a post beginning in almost exactly the same way but this year I really, REALLY mean it! You might be thinking 14 weeks does not sound dangerously imminent but these next few months are like a runaway train. You think you’re safe then all of a sudden the breaks won’t work and Christmas has come and gone in the… Read More

DIY Easy Beaded Necklaces

I am one of those people who finds wearing colour difficult. I spend so much time eyeing up colourful jumpers and dresses only to realise the poor thing would spend more time in the back of my wardrobe in favour of that black cozy jumper that I’ve been wearing three days straight already. But the less I buy anything out of my comfort zone, the less likely I am to wear anything out of my comfort zone. So instead we get stuck in a spiral of ‘blend into the background’ colours. And although these are so easy to throw on… Read More

We Make Collective | Meet the Makers part two 

Before I get into introducing the second half of our group of wonderfully creative collaborators I just have to take a moment to gush. When I first launched the Kickstarter to raise the initial funds we needed to start We Make Collective I was so terrified that we would fail. Even though I knew that We Make Collective had the opportunity to be something quite special it was too hard to shake the feeling that no one would actually like this idea I’d been working on for the best part of the past six months. Of course these worries are… Read More

DIY Cool Bag

  I’m still a little in disbelief. It’s not really September right? Just a trick. We’ve still get some summer left… please? Although the seasons might be starting to change I’m holding onto the last of the summer and making the most of any good weather we get! But that isn’t actually the reason why I’ve made this cool bag. If you read Sunday’s post you’ll know that when me and Alex travel we like to/are sometimes forced to prepare food while we’re away. I find supermarkets and market stalls in different countries endlessly fascinating (Oh wow… did I just say… Read More

DIY Abstract Artwork – Furniture Hacks

I met Hester at Blogtacular this year, but before we had the chance to meet in person I was an avid follower of her Youtube channel Handmade Home. I love any woman who’s not afraid to pick up a power tool and Hester definitely knows her way around a drill driver! So I just knew that her new book Furniture Hacks would be full of really interesting ways to create and update beautiful pieces of furniture for your home. I’ve got to say there are so many projects in this book I want to sink my teeth into. I like that… Read More

5 Tips for Creative Brainstorming and Staying Unique

As a creative blogger it’s my job to think up new ideas and creative concepts. And while that sound fun and well, let’s face it, a bit of a breeze, it can actually be quite tricky to keep the ideas fresh and imaginative. To build up a bank of unique starting points I have to keep my mind open to all different influences and be ready for inspiration to strike at any moment (as I write this in a local coffee shop I can see a light that is calling out to be DIYed… always on it!) Creative brainstorming has… Read More

Make it Easy | Punched Peep Toe Booties

I’ve said it many times before but it won’t stop me saying it again. I’m all about the sandals. For someone who lives in a less than sunny climate having 7 pairs is a little extreme, but I’ll wear them come threat of rain, or shine… so that’s ok right? There is an odd occasion when sandals are just not appropriate. I mean, if it were up to me I’d have a sandal for all situations but you have to go with the tide sometimes. When you need something a little more, let’s say grown up, a peep-toe bootie is your… Read More
