5 Tips to Get Productive When You’ve Having an Off Day

I’ve had a week of Internet connection hell! I’m now resigned to tethering non stop or switching ‘G’s(eh?) every new page which seems to work but takes triple the time and is starting to get a little tedious. In general I feel like things are going pretty slowly and I’m not being my most productive self, or even just my usual level of productive which ok, is not super quick but it is much faster than what I’m working with right now! So I’ve been feeling a little demotivated. I think in general it’s good to have a down day… Read More

DIY Gold Earbud Headphones

I’ve got a confession to make. I’ve become a bit of a podcast addict, slowly building up my catalogue so that I can fire one up at any time when I’m heading out to do some shopping or taking photos for the blog. I love listening to podcasts like This American Life for simple and beautiful stories or hard hitting journalism that you just can’t stop thinking about for the next week. I also really enjoy listening to creative business podcasts. Listening to the expertise of others who have successfully built their businesses is inspiring and enlightening and being able… Read More

DIY Beaded Coasters

Make it Easy | Cut Out Box Top

My Valentine’s day plans have been getting more and more relaxed each year. As much as I love the idea of candlelit dinners to piano music, truth be told I would rather be wearing comfy clothes and watching a movie. But after last years take away disaster (I say disaster, after a few hours wait we ended up with food for about 10 people and only paid for half of it) we’ve decided to go half way this time. Yes, I will have to leave the house but there will be wine and great food in a more relaxed atmosphere… Read More

DIY Valentine’s Sweet Heart Earrings

This DIY Valentine’s Sweet Heart Earrings post is an old tutorial that I have already published on a different blog last year. I’ve recently found out that that blog is soon to be no more… sad news, but I’ve decided to rescue these little heart studs from the black hole of long forgotten blog posts and give it a little Valentine’s day love. I actually really love revisiting and re photographing old posts. For a start it is an obvious indicator of how much I’ve learnt since the first time around. When you can see how much you’re improving it can really inspire you… Read More

DIY Magazine Hanger

Reading about many of my favourite bloggers attempting to organise their homes and clear out the clutter has given me a new lease of life when it comes to my own plan to minimise my belongings and only hold onto things that I want and use. So many things are potential projects that never get done and it’s easy to get attached to something that might one day have a use, but it’s all about being ruthless and cutting ties. Magazines are a problem. I keep them because their images and information hold so much value to me. These beautiful,… Read More

DIY Heddle Bar to Speed up your Weave

I’ve spent a LOT of the past week weaving, mostly for just the one project that has really been grinding down my patience with each failure. I think I can put each mistake down to a lack of experience and planning. I rushed in with a carefree attitude and quickly realised that you only find out how much you dislike something after putting in the hours. It is so soul destroying to pick apart all this work each time but before I do I always try to find the reason it hasn’t worked first and take something from the failure…. Read More
