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

Styling the seasons – December

It’s already a week into December so I’m a bit behind but here’s this month’s styling the seasons and what a fun month it is to style. I’m a big fan on December and decorating the house. I do wish we had space for a real Christmas tree but hey…maybe one day. Our fake number is…

freshening up our living room

Hello friends! I hope Monday hasn’t been to bleak for you all. I’m feeling slightly bogged down as I got ill again (feeble, I know) or perhaps I didn’t really get better in between…I’m not sure. Either way it’s not been great especially when I have so much lovely work from people to do! Today…

sticky goodness

This month’s edible treat is up on Aspiring Kennedy. I’ve been making British classics with a twist, partly because I just can’t leave things as they are and partly because in general I’m not a big fan of British cuisine hence the twist. I can hear your gasps and I’m sorry but in general it’s…

cover me in memories

I’m a complete sucker for pretty packaging, often trying to restrain myself from buying something just because I want to run home and pin the packaging on my notice board. I find the gift wrap section of stationery shops more exciting than I like to admit, ooing and aahing over sparkly gift tags, ribbons and washi tapes. Is there…

Free printable advent calendar

As with many a Friday, I want to bring you a freebie, this time it’s a festive one! I’ve designed for you a free (yes free) printable advent calendar that even the most scaredy crafter could put together. I love interesting advent calendars and the more I think about it the more I think that might…

Winter Comfort

Today really did start out as the most dismal day! I walked about 5 minutes both ways this morning and my feet, tights and hair (not sure how with an umbrella) were soaked! The winter cold draws in and something in me is telling me to go into hibernation mode. I’m well and truly into the…

Easiest Necklace Ever

Here’s another DIY that’s been loitering my end for a while, never quite having time to edit it and write it all up for you. It really is the easiest necklace to make and will add a pop of colour to any outfit. I think the most fun part is picking out the coloured threads…
