Fall For DIY takes over Mollie Makes!

I love sharing my inspirations, ideas and general quick creative thoughts with basically anyone who has an attention span long enough to listen, which is why I’m a big fan of any platform that makes these easier to both communicate and to digest. Of all the social media platforms I use on a daily basis Pinterest and Instagram are by far my favourites, so I don’t know if you can imagine how excited I am to be asked to take over Mollie Makes Pinterest and Instagram accounts later this week! Starting on the 22nd January we’ll be Pinning and posting over on… Read More

Fall For DIY & Mollie Makes | Donut Necklace

Oh that Friday feeling. Like a warm hug, reassuring us that everything is going to be ok. Well, for the next couple of days anyway. Like every other blogger and indie business owner I know my weekends are still a pretty productive time, but rather than wishing the days away it’s a chance for me to work on creating great things to share with you awesome lot! Something I’ve been dying to share with you all is my latest DIY project with Mollie Makes Magazine. DONUTS ON NECKLACES!! I had so much fun making these, deciding on my icing colours… Read More

DIY Watercolour Tableware

I’ve got to admit I’ve never had a traditional dinner party before. It seems like that’s some sort of omission of guilt. I’m not a real blogger. I don’t know how to style a table! I’ve had friends over for dinner of course, but it’s always buffet style, grab what you want off my mismatched plates, find a seat and dig in. Who wants a Bloody Mary? I don’t know whether it’s my 30’s kicking in but I want to give my guests a little more. A beautiful table and fancy cutlery perhaps, a luscious centre piece and many, many… Read More

Simple Skills | Teddy Bear Pom Poms

Do you remember making pom poms as a kid. Wrapping wool around those cardboard donuts for an hour. Trying to push the ball through that tiny hole 500 times was enough to put you off after the first pom, which meant many projects went bust before they really started. So when I saw these pom pom makers popping up all over the place I was pretty keen to get my hand on one (or two) and I wasn’t disappointed! The pom pom maker combined with this thick, raw wool makes whipping up furry little balls so speedy I’m a little… Read More

Make It Easy | Kaleidoscope Floppy Hat

Whew! The week is finally over – that one just kept on going. Who else found it hard to snap out of holiday mode? What we need is a nice easy project to ease us into the weekend right? I saw this Anthropology Kaleidoscope Hat and instantly knew I had the share it with you guys. It’s the perfect Make it Easy project! I love the idea of the cut out triangles creating patterns of light over hair and clothing. I would suggest getting a hat that has a firm rim to keep the triangle in shape. Check out how to do… Read More

DIY January Motivation on your Phone!

I love all the positivity and aspirations January brings with it, but if we’re totally honest a week of dark mornings can stifle all our best laid plans and all of a sudden we’re back on the sofa comfort eating mashed potato (just me?) and not getting things done. To combat this I’ve started prolific list making. I know what you’re thinking, making lists won’t stop the procrastination but I may have come up with a system to beat it! I think it’s about finding a routine that works for you and fits around your needs. I start to get… Read More

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
