DIY Handmade Baskets

So if you were lucky enough to get some time off over Christmas, yesterday we all went back to work. Every inch of seasonal joy I have has been used up and replaced with attempts at productivity (well, as productive as I get) and a well organised state of mind. After an easy Monday morning darjeeling and chat about clearing inboxes (which was strangely motivating) I realised I’ve switched into spring cleaning mode. While it’s a little early who else all of a sudden has the urge to purge their home of everything festive, cluttering or just generally in the way. I’m… Read More

DIY Smocked Jewellery | Mollie Makes Covergift Tutorial

When I was younger I remember I went through a phase of being obsessed with semi precious stones. I had these small individual display boxes, a bit like clear topped jewellery cases, with the names and properties labelled (yep, I was a rock geek). Many of these stones had come from a magazine which I think was about rocks, dinosaurs, the earth and science and I clearly recall the excitement I would feel when the day arrived to get the next issue of this magazine, but more importantly I’d look forward to the free gift! Oh, what I wouldn’t give… Read More

DIY New Years Eve Paper Fans

I’m co hosting a new years eve party this year! I say co hosting. I’ll be showing up with DIY decorations, party rings and tulle and dancing the night away. I have been put in charge of making the place sparkle like it’s 1999 so I’ve been putting together a few really easy decorations like these paper fans made from left over wrapping paper (kill two birds with one stone people!) They’re quick to put together which is a bonus at this late stage and you can paint or draw onto the paper to add extra details before making the… Read More

Cranberry Spiked Hot Toddy

One of my favourite things to do around this time of year is go for a long walk on a crisp, sunny day. Feeling the frozen breeze against your cheeks is the best way to wake you up after the lazy days of Christmas and I immediately feel motivated and ready to start the new year afresh. It’s not easy to make that first step and kick start that mentality again after the build up to Christmas. I like to slowly ease myself back into work with plenty of treats and warm, comforting supplies at the ready (microwavable slippers on… Read More

DIY Clay Gem Necklace for Mollie Makes

If I know anything about seeing the new year in it’s that you can never go wrong with a little sparkle. Shiny confetti, glittery cocktails and sequin laden dresses are always the way to start the new year. So you will absolutely need your accessories to keep up the pace. I made these necklaces for Mollie Makes a few months ago now. It’s been so difficult not to share them with you until now, but they are so perfect for celebrating the beginning of 2015 that I wanted to wait until now to post about them. Made entirely from polymer… Read More

Eats | Gluhwein Cranberry Sauce

It’s a Christmas table staple. Easy to make and quick to gobble (sorry) up smothered over gravy soaked turkey (or tofurky as we will be). Having a simple accompaniment to what is actually quite a complex meal to prepare (and time correctly) is always a bonus so we don’t want to overcomplicate the process here, but it’s always nice to make even the most mundane of condiments a little more special or in this case a little more boozy. Perfect for the holiday spirit! This is a mega easy recipe and you can prepare your sauce in advance. We like anything that… Read More

DIY Black & White Marbled Christmas Crackers

A Christmas table setting just isn’t right without a few crackers to pull. No festive dinner is complete without a few party pops and some hilariously bad jokes. If you’re going for a perfectly styled table setting you need the perfectly styled crackers to go with it! This is the second year I’ve made my crackers and there’s nothing better than surprising people with tons of confetti, lovely little presents and delicious treats. They’re actually surprisingly easy to make so you still have plenty of time to get them ready. Just see my DIY Black & White Marbled Christmas Crackers post over on… Read More
