Spring has sprung here in Wales and the weather has been pretty fabulous the past couple of days (although we just returned from Canada where we had snow!). And of coarse spring means that Easter is on it’s way! This is a rather late post as it’s Good Friday tomorrow but I couldn’t help posting… Continue reading Naturally Dyed Easter Eggs
This Valentine’s Day I wanted to do something a bit special for some family and friends and wanted to get my little one involved in the process! These simple Valentine’s treats were so easy to make and my little munchkin thoroughly enjoyed helping me make them! So to make these yummy chocolate covered Oreos you… Continue reading Valentine’s Treats for Family & Friends
Although I love summer and the warm rain that it brings, every year I start to get excited when the mornings become crisp and the leaves start to change colour. Autumn doesn’t officially start for another week but the pumpkin spice lattes are out and fall is certainly in the air! I often enjoy watching… Continue reading Early Autumn Chocolate Bark
So along with the purchase of our new home, it seemed that we also needed (okay, wanted) to purchase a bunch of new stuff to go in it. To be fair, our old bedside tables were on their way out and we needed a bit more storage space in the master bedroom. I was scrolling… Continue reading IKEA RAST Makeover
Hello blogging world. It has indeed been a long time (over a year!) but I’m looking forward to getting back into sharing my projects with you. A lot has happened in the past year, including buying our first home. It’s a big step but I’m so glad to finally have a place that I can… Continue reading Sideboard Upcycle
Hello, and Merry Christmas! It certainly is the most wonderful time of the year and I wanted to share a bit of Christmas cheer with you today. As usual my Christmas has some DIY elements to it. My Wicker Heart Wreath was so much fun to make and I think it looks really cute. I… Continue reading It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!
I am a big believer in making things your own. My husband and I rent our home so we are always somewhat limited in the ways that we can put our stamp on things. The house came with a small electric fireplace which is nice, but somewhat modern for my tastes. I decided to change… Continue reading DIY Mantelpiece Overhaul
I love candles and thought I might dabble in the art of candle making as (I’m sure you aware) candles can be quite expensive. Soy candles are very popular at the moment as they burn cleaner than those made of paraffin wax. I love these little candles and I scented mine using essential oils.… Continue reading Homemade Soy Candles
When it’s raining in Wales (which it tends to do from time to time) and you’ve planned to have a garden party, you have to be imaginative and bring the garden inside. My husband’s grandfather recently celebrated his birthday and my mother-in-law had planned a garden party for the occasion. Alas, the Welsh weather wasn’t… Continue reading Garden Party in the Rain
The inheritance of crafting material makes me happy. My mother-in-law was recently sorting out some of her craft stuff and gave me a whole bunch of felting wool. I was a bit sceptical at first about what I was going to do with it, but I very quickly realised that I had indeed stumbled upon… Continue reading Heart Felt & Twine Bunting
