This pattern might look a bit familiar and you’d be right! I liked the dabbed paint affect from the DIY phone pouch so much that I thought it needed to make it’s way onto a cushion too. This kind of painting takes minimal skill and therefore minimal time. That’s the kind of DIY I’m sure we…

It’s Friday, the sun’s shining and here’s a fun freebie to top it off. This quote was inspired by some reading I’ve been doing lately on busyness and these are definitely words of wisdom I need to listen to/ have on my screen to remind me. I can get so wrapped up in planning each…

I love miniature patterned bowls! When I first started seeing them take over shop shelves, I was drawn to them and it got me thinking up a DIY version. That’s just how my mind rolls at the moment! Once baked these are dishwasher proof, so you can use them as dipping bowls or for snacks…

I decided to use my extended Christmas break to do a few DIY projects around the house. You know, the kind you’ve been meaning to do for about a year but life’s priorities take over and prettifying your house moves right to the bottom of the pile (and rightfully so). Anyway I’d been staring at…

Hi! Sorry for my absence in blogland. There’s been a whole lot going on and changes brewing which have left me little head space for much else. To my surprise January whizzed past, turning into one big rainy blur. Now suddenly it’s February and nearly Valentine’s and I went to get in quickly and share…
