DIY Totes Saving Lives

For the last few years every 4 months me and Al head into the city together to give blood. Before we started going together I must admit I’d been too chicken to go alone. For so many years I had been meaning to go. You know, when that ‘I need to…’ thought pops into your head, you think about it for a minute and then before you know it, it’s gone and life goes on. The best intentions with the worst follow up. It wasn’t just fear of the needle (it still gets me every time) but lack of planning… Read More

The Fool Proof way to Stop Creative Jealousy

That little voice has a lot to answer for. That nagging, sickening whisper that somehow knocks the wind out of you and leaves you useless and wondering why. No one wants to feel inadequate but it’s particularly biting when it comes to feeling like something you put your heart and soul into just isn’t good enough. However hard we try jealousy has it’s way of seeping in through the smallest crack we leave open. More often than not, exactly when we’re feeling especially vulnerable already. Believe it or not there are some benefits to recognising that jealous feeling when it… Read More

Home | The Easy way to Find Your Signature Style

 Textured Throw | Seagrass Basket | Print | Coffee Table | HYDE Sofa | Clay Vase | Metal & Wood Lamp | Happer Rug I did promise you it’s going to be a week of news here didn’t I? So as well as launching the We Make Collective this week (I still can’t believe how well that’s going!) I also have other news. If you follow me on Instagram you probably already know about it – I couldn’t resist snapping a few pictures. We’ve started looking for a studio! Up until now I’ve been working from our flat which (luckily) has… Read More

DIY Gold Kintsugi Ceramic Planter

Between me and Alex we can get through quite a bit of tableware at home. Like a clumsy comedy duo we have a problem with breakages. My problem seems to be my elbows. While I can keep my hands in check, when it comes to watching where the rest of my arms are and what they are about to knock over I have tunnel vision. The absolute worst example of this was elbowing a whole bottle of tequila we bought back from Mexico last year onto our kitchen floor! Tequila and glass everywhere. No margaritas for us… Apart from the… Read More

My Story | How I Became a Creative Blogger

Over the past few months I’ve spoken in depth about how creativity isn’t something you’re born with and how it takes practice, determination and purpose to build creative routines. In this flurry of advice I’m giving out I realised that you might be wondering why on earth you should be listening to me give it. If you are (or are just curious) I thought I’d tell you a little bit more about my story of how I became a creative blogger and how that has led me to have my strong opinions on individual creativity. Then you can make up your… Read More

Fall For… Over & Over

Tulip Wall art | Batik Bag | Botanical Wall Hanging | Watermelon Wrapping Paper | Embroidered baskets | Patterned Cloth Napkins | Stencil Beach Towel | Crisscross Coasters There’s something reassuring about a repeat pattern. Like you know exactly what’s coming over & over and there are no surprises along the way. Starting tomorrow I’m breaking away from the regular and embarking on something new and unknown, so I thought I’d take this last day to celebrate the pattern for its consistency and routine. It’s all sporadic from now on (thanks Clueless…) and I’ve got a feeling I’m going to love it! Make sure you… Read More

DIY Box Sideboard

Sometimes it can take months to take an idea from its concept right through the researching, creating, photos, editing and all the rest. This is one of those posts. The funny thing is it actually took very little time and planning. Instead, I had kept it on the back burner for so long just waiting for the right time to bring it to fruition. And today was that day my friends! It was just 6 hours ago I decided to make a start. My planned post needed a little work (crafts gone wrong!!) and I was rushing around trying to… Read More
