I have been growing my herb garden for the last 4 years, so far I have over 20 different herbs and I'm always on the look out for new ones.

March 23, 20193 Comments

Whilst browsing Instagram last week I saw and fell in love with these jewelled shoes on HannahFGales instagram feed. They were by Kurt Geiger and alas, even though they were reduced from £60 to £30 I felt that I didn't really need any more shoes in my life! I did have an idea though! I … Continue reading Decorative & Removable Jewelled Shoe DIY

I was talking with my friend the other day about all the crafts and fads we have ever tried, turns out we are quite faddy when it comes to making.

Tulle & Paper Embroidery Hoop DIY

September 28, 2018November 8, 20185 Comments

While browsing Instagram recently, I saw some gorgeous embroidery hoops with tulle and floral embroidered designs, I thought how great these would look as an autumn home decor display. They would be quite time consuming to create though, so paper seemed a quicker option. Tulle is a really lovely but often overlooked craft material, unless … Continue reading Tulle & Paper Embroidery Hoop DIY

How to Upcycle Furniture with Chalk Paint

August 26, 2018August 26, 20183 Comments

Recently while browsing my local Aldi, I came across their new DIY range which included £5 tins of chalk paint. As a big fan of Annie Sloan chalk paint at £18 a tin, I got massively excited and had to try it.

With so many beautiful spring and summer flowers in the garden and in the shops, it makes me sad when they wilt and die.

I recently went on a trip to Whitstable in Kent for a few days, it was gorgeous, I'll put some pictures below but be warned it will make you will want to go! We didn't have the best weather, it rained quite heavy for one day, but it was still full of gorgeous shops and … Continue reading DIY Oyster Shell Trinket Dish

May 10, 2018May 10, 20183 Comments

If you haven't seen the trend for paint pouring, then where have you been? I am mesmerised by all the social media videos of fluid art canvases.

How to Upcycle a Canvas into a Fabric Noticeboard

April 23, 2018April 23, 2018Leave a comment

It was time to refresh the noticeboard so I thought it would make a cool … Continue reading How to Upcycle a Canvas into a Fabric Noticeboard

How to Make a Faux Letter Board

March 20, 20184 Comments

First it was light boxes then felt boards, and I have to say I love my felt board. They aren't cheap however for a decent looking one you are looking at £30-£50 pounds. I was playing with my We R Memory keepers trim and score board the other day and ended up making this faux … Continue reading How to Make a Faux Letter Board
