Fall For the Details | DIY Fabric Buckets

Now that the weather is turning and it’s becoming actually pleasant to leave the house I’m starting to miss having a garden again. There’s nothing like sitting in the sun on a warm spring day watching the world come back to life again. I love working outside. From a nice shady spot taking photos or just letting myself be inspired to free up my write style and let it come from a more natural place. In fact just sitting here writing this is giving me cabin fever! There’s only one thing for it. Throw the window open and surround myself… Read More

Food | Spicy Duck Egg Shakshouka

I’ve always been a bit of a foodie. By foodie I mean I enjoy food, not that I’m an expert at noticing flavours or understanding the different between rare and medium rare. I just love to eat… anything. Give me cake or give me an apple, I’m going to have a good time with it. There’s nothing I’ve ever tried that I wouldn’t eat again. I enjoy all textures and tastes and I cannot get enough of them! That’s why it was especially difficult making the decision to change my eating habits last year. I went veggie… Well the worlds worst veggie to… Read More

Reviewing DIY Statement Necklaces by Erin Pruckno

I’m absolutely delighted to share with you this new book by Erin Pruckno of the blog Thanks, I Made It. If you don’t already read Erin’s blog then you’re missing out on so many amazing jewellery and accessory DIYs and her latest book, DIY Statement Necklaces is no exception!

DIY Clay Egg Carton

Last year I confessed I don’t make an effort to celebrate Easter. It’s usually been a while since I’ve given in to the lent cravings and the basically I’m just in it for a giant chocolate egg! But this year I want to celebrate the start of spring inside my home and Easter decor is a great way to do this. Think beautifully blown dyed eggs and fresh flowers everywhere. I feel like I need a refresh after the winter and this is the perfect excuse to make an effort and start on the big spring clean. So rather than… Read More

The Big (not so) Secret to Maximising your Productivity!

You know me. I’m always on the hunt for the latest app that promises to make me more productive or trying out a new tip or trick to stop me procrastinating the day away. The thing is there’s a much simpler solution. Something we can all start doing more of. What is this miracle cure for waining efficiency? Well, I’ll tell you now! A good nights sleep. Well dur! Seems so simple yet a third of British people struggle to get a decent nights sleep and I can imagine this number is similar in most countries all over the world. There… Read More

DIY Tea Infused Scented Candles

There are three things I can guarantee to calm me down after a stressful day. Tea. Book. Scented candle. This is the precious little time I take to stop rushing around and actually stop to think about more than work. I know what you’re thinking, but I genuinely love a scented candle. I mean, what’s not to like? Not only do I love the calming effect I get from them (probably all in my mind, but whatever works for you!) but it also makes the space more inviting and comfortable. Scented candles give off a much lighter scent than air fresheners and incense, so… Read More

Wear & Share | Whether appropriate: Blogging and Trust

What a difference a week makes. Here I am wearing the same jumper from this shot last week (I love this cuddly thing) and actually feeling a little on the warm side. Spring is now in full errr… spring and if you don’t believe me we have the bulbs to prove it! It’s new blog feature time and for about the bazillianth time on this blog I’m attempting to get a little more comfortable in front of the camera and use images of myself when I’m sharing something personal. I’ve been so surprised by the amazing response to the more intimate posts I’ve published. As… Read More

DIY Faux Glazed Pots

One of my goals this year is to take a pottery class. I’m so enjoying all the beautiful glazing that keeps popping up in my IG and Pinterest feeds recently. I’ve been won over. And whilst I love trying my hand at anything (and everything) I have a really strong urge to delve into one skill. I want to learn everything about one materials and discover the smaller more subtle techniques that can propel your work into something pretty special. So I’ve got my eye on a class and a friend has offered to run a little beginner workshop in her studio… Read More
