DIY Marble and Granite Tassel Necklace

I’m so lucky that I’ve been working on a lot of projects for other companies, blogs and magazines recently. Six months in, I still sometimes have to pinch myself that I get to do this as a job. And even though I spend 90% of my time sat in front of a laptop, rushing to get photos edited against a deadline or meticulously making my way through hours of emails I still absolutely love this strange and unexpected career path I’ve carved out for myself. The one and only small (tiny in fact) complaint I have is that being creative… Read More

DIY Trellis Clothes Racks

I actually didn’t realise just how useful this DIY was until I made it. I had thought about using it in the bathroom to hang towels and clothing from but once I sat down the write about its versatility I realised it’s true potential. It could be so much more than that! The main benefit of using a storage system closer to something you’re more likely to see out in the garden with your BBQ, is its shape and mobility. The rack fits in those empty spaces behind doors and in narrow corridors. I can think of at least five places… Read More

DIY Stitched Tassel Cushion

A couple of months ago I decided I would start making more of an effort on creating a home interior I was really proud of. My flat is currently full of ‘potential DIYs’ and pieces collected over half a dozen rented homes. I’m slowly updating and DIYing and while I love doing this, from time to time my need for instant gratification kicks in. Most of the time it’s a playful tap, but this time it was going in straight for the shins and I had a sudden urge to add a few items that would just bring everything together quickly. So… Read More

Sunday B.Links | Breakfast in Bed

There’s nothing more luxurious and indulgent than breakfast in bed. Ok, actually there are plenty more things more luxurious and indulgent but when there’s cleaning to be done, emails to be sent and errands to run, taking a moment to treat yourself to a relaxing Sunday morning breather feels totally blissful! Whilst it’s definitely too late to take full advantage of today’s lazy Sunday morning here, I’m going to be working on some of these tutorials throughout the week so I can be totally prepared for that small pocket of time to relax and ignore life outside the bedroom door….

Make it Easy | Gold Washer Necklace

I’m on a total high from this week. The sun has come out, I’ve been making big strides with We Make Collective and I’ve been lucky enough to part of a lot of blogger loving. For the first time since I began blogging full-time I feel like I can take on the world! I’ve always been quietly confident I could make this work, if only through sheer determination and my scrappy will to try anything and now I’m starting to see there is a light at the end of this tunnel. I’m heading in the right direction. I’m going to… Read More

DIY Balsa Wood Planter

With my growing collection of plants – that are actually staying alive for more than four weeks, even after I brought them into my home – I need a growing collection of planters. Luckily for me making cute pots is one of my favourite projects, so ideas spring to mind no matter what size or shape I need it to be. I’ve got to say out of all the planters I’ve made for the blog, I’m particularly proud of this one. As much as I love a good hack or upcycle my favourite projects are the ones that take a material and… Read More
