Last year on Christmas eve me and Alex got engaged. If you didn’t see this Instagram post you might have missed this altogether. I haven’t exactly been shouting it from the rooftops. But not because I’m not excited to marry my best friend. Because ever since we got engaged we’ve had something much bigger to think about! Ollen. This tiny human has taken up all of our head space and it wasn’t until we went to register his name that we sat down and talked about our ideas (or lack of) for our … [Read more...]

DIY Pink Grapefruit & Thyme Sugar Scrub Stocking Filler
Stocking fillers are actually my favourite gifts to DIY. There's no pressure and you don't have to spend a lot of money to make something that will be happily received. But perhaps the best thing about crafting stocking fillers is that you can make an extra one of everything for yourself! That's what I've done with this gorgeous sugar scrub and I'm hella glad I did! I've been using this on my lips for just a couple of days. Pregnancy has given me the dryest skin, but my lips are smooth and … [Read more...]
Learn Something New (Just in time for Christmas) with Skillshare
If I had to give one tip for building a successful creative business online it would be this: invest in and expand your skills and keep an open mind to learning new or alternative ways of doing things. This is something I have worked on since day one of my business. Actually before I even started it in fact. Of course I didn’t know it all when I started. And I don’t know it all now. I never will and while that easily applies to the more academic side of my business it also is true when I talk … [Read more...]
DIY Mini Pet Wreath Crowns for your Furry Family Holiday Cards
Is there anything cuter than a fluffy bunny in a floral crown? You might disagree with me but I'm not sure you guys. I've basically got a Pinterest board dedicated to this exact (let's call it a) phenomenon. Maybe I'm baised but it is my favourite place on the Internet right now. Need a little pick me up after reading a thread on Twitter? Bunny board. Accidentally read the comments on that article? Bunny board. It's my antidote to all things angry online. But what's better than a bunny board? … [Read more...]
DIY Concrete & Wire Ring Holders
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Blue Nile UK. All opinions are 100% mine. Being able to make my own jewellery has always come in useful. It makes a great gift in a pinch and it’s saved me from turning up with yet another bottle of wine countless times. Like these twisted wire rings or the beaded rings I've used in this post. But there are times when whipping up an easy necklace or simple ring just won’t cut it. A special occasion deserves more than something I’ve rescued out … [Read more...]
50 Must Do DIY’s | May
Summer is finally here! Well, it was when I started writing this post but you’d never know looking out the window. I guess technically it’s spring? Maybe? Like the weather, the seasons get hazy around this time of year. As does my own memory which makes writing this post a little more difficult. Thank the blog gods for Pinterest! I might just manage to make it through. I love summer DIY. Technically it’s the time of year when people travel, spend more time outdoors or with friends which … [Read more...]
50 Must Do DIYs | March
After the move this month I am so behind on all my blog reading! In fact I am behind on everything but priorities right? I need to know what everyone's been making/styling/feeling for the last month. So catching up on our 50 Must do DIYs for March today has been a full on job and I am full to the brim (I might be able to squeeze in a few more) of beautiful spaces, DIYs and new babies in the world (I love when bloggers share their new sweet family members). And of course I love this time of … [Read more...]
50 Must Do DIYs | February
Is anyone else totally freaking out that it's March already? I have to say this year has both sped by and been dragging its heels. How is that even possible? Maybe it's because I've been waiting so long to tell you guys about the latest behind the scenes news. And before someone shouts babies - nope, that's not it. Today we exchanged contracts on our first house! I'm still a little nervous announcing it on the blog. There are so many things that can go wrong during this process it still feels … [Read more...]
