FFD Extras | No 1

I hope Monday has been good to you guys. I amazingly started off with the most productive morning which rapidly (/predictably) turned into me messing about on Instagram for second half of the day. I’ve started to realise I procrastinate most when I have to sit down and write. I’ve been putting off getting a few posts finished up mostly because I just don’t know where to start but also because I don’t know where to go once I’ve started. As a blogger it seems a little ridiculous that I find it difficult to do the actual writing. Why start a blog… Read More

DIY Brush Stroke Abstract Mani

I’ve never really been that into drawn out beauty treatments and regimes. I buy face masks and conditioning treatments with the best intentions but often forget to use them regularly. That epilator is still sitting right at the bottom of the pile after just one use in 2007 (and NEVER again!) I want to make more time to treat myself and my body a little kinder, nourishing it with natural ingredients and covering myself head to foot with all the vitamins I need. What better day to do this than a Sunday? It’s what they’re for right!? The one indulgence I do… Read More

DIY Eyelash Earring

Who doesn’t love this awesome eyelash trend that’s floating around the Internet at the moment. It reminds me of the evil eyes we all wore in the 90’s but pimped up with some massive, mascara coated eyelashes. This is an easy way to put a little 90’s fashion into your outfit without having to style a chocker necklace or forehead headband (my go to’s during that era) and you can make them yourself! Keep going to find out how.

DIY Semi Precious Stone Soaps

If you follow me on Instagram you might have seen me posting regular updates from this project. It’s probably one of my favourite DIYs to date and that took me by surprise! When Stephenson Personal Care contacted me to collaborate on a project I must admit my first thoughts were that soap making and bar soap were a little dated, but after a little research I found out that bar soap is making a comeback in a big way. Not only can you make beautiful colours and patterns but you have control over the extras that go into the soap. You can… Read More

Winner of the Blogzilla Blog Theme is…

If you missed this post a couple of weeks ago then you might not know how much I love the ladies over at Blogzilla Studio. That’s why I was so pleased when I got the chance to giveaway a WordPress theme to one of my readers totally free of charge! I use a Blogzilla theme for Fall For DIY and I love the simple design and clean aesthetic that perfectly frames my posts. I wish I could give away more but luckily the themes are really reasonably priced so that even beginner bloggers can afford to invest in a professional… Read More

Make it Easy | Gold House Numbers

Yes! Hello Friday. Two gorgeous days of relaxing, baking and making just for the sake of it. This weekend I’ve got quite a bit of cleaning and organising to get stuck into (argh, the office makeover continues…) but I’d really love to make sure I have some time set aside to work on crafting these amazing gold house numbers for our flat door, and perhaps matching ones for our letter box too! As usual the weekend is for taking it easy and making it easy which is why these are just the thing. Materials Polymer clay Craft knife Gold leaf To… Read More

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
