Turning Memories into Art: The Beauty of Custom Paint by Numbers

AD | sponsored post in collaboration with Figured Art I’ve loved painting for as long as I could hold a paintbrush and know first hand not only the therapeutic benefits

Blogtacular Photowalk

Well hello and welcome to the most colourful post I’ve ever done, courtesy of Blogtacular. It’s pretty much in the name but incase you’re unfamiliar with that, it’s a fab blogging event in London organised by Kat & Kat. The day began at 7am on the Southbank for those of us lunatics that had signed up for…

Habitat Room Update

1  /  2  /  3  /  4  /  5  /  6  /  7  /  8  /  9  /  10 OK, let’s talk about my sofa. No joke, it’s been bothering me for quite a while now, in all it’s brown and bulky glory! Whenever I walk into the living room each morning it offends my…

light up

I’ve never done a candle DIY before people! How did that happen eh? Well this little number is here to put that right and it all stemmed from a trip to Homebase where I discovered this crazy new spray paint which creates a stone effect. It may not actually be new but it was new…

healthy nectarine crumble halves

There’s nothing quite like Summer to get me in the mood for fruit! I’m sure it tastes 99% better in the sun but perhaps that’s just down to the cravings. Here’s a little fruity dessert idea that I adapted from this Deliciously Ella recipe. I love this topping so so much and it makes this treat…

Palm Tropicana

DIY glass leaf wall art // printed clock // DIY leaf backdrop // handprinted cushion // DIY balloon transfers // summer bag I decided to extend my current obsession into a tropical montage of greenery! Oh I do love a palm, whether in a pot or printed onto fabric. Considering how much I don’t love green as…

behind the screen

After that little diversion into blogging last time, I’m now going to talk about my hop, skip and a jump to freelance, promise! First things first I NEVER saw myself as being a full time freelancer. Leaving uni I was very quick to tell people I wasn’t interested in going it alone and just wanted to…

something for your screen

Hello people! It’s Friday, a long weekend for many and time for a freebie I feel! I didn’t really need a helping hand but after my little trip to Kew Gardens for the last bank holiday, I’ve been itching to paint some plants. I loved the tropical houses the best and could have stared at…

Gluten Free Lemon Chilli Noodle Bowl

It’s been a good old while since I last had any foodie posts on here so right now I intend to put that right! I’m not great with lunch in general. It’s a meal I certainly see more as fuel than pleasure but I guess that hasn’t been helped by me feeling on / off…

Sugar & Cloth: DIY egg cup planters

Greetings from rainy London! I’m bring you a little sprinkle of cuteness this Thursday in the form of my next DIY contribution for Sugar & Cloth. I don’t really eat eggs so I’m not joking when I say I hadn’t even thought about egg cups since I was about 5 but it’s only a matter…

let’s hang out

This idea has been bubbling away for a while now but it’s been put to the side on a number of occasions. Everyone loves a hanging planter right? I’ve made and owned various such hanging delights around the house but really wanted to create a tiered version so I could hang three plants at a time. You…
