August’s Technique of the Month: Watercolours [REVIEW] Disclaimer: This post is sponsored by Cass Art. I was sent these products to review. Watercolours have long been something I’ve admired, without trying myself. I loved them in school. Adding the colour to water is almost half the fun. Watching it swirl around never gets old!

DIY upcycled angel tree topper This post was made in collaboration with Emmaus UK Every crafter loves a good challenge. When I was challenged to make some Christmas decor in support of the charity Emmaus, I couldn’t refuse. Who doesn’t love a good bit of craft in support of a good cause? Hunting for treasures and imagining them in a new form is so much fun. It adds an all new spin to shopping and makes it all the m

DIY Seed Bead Bracelet Kit This post is sponsored by Jewellery Maker. What’s your vote on craft kits? I’m still pretty 50/50. Some of them are amazing and fuel creativity, while others feel a bit cookie cutter and restrictive. When Jewellery Maker said they have a new range of DIY kits, I wanted to try one for myself.

FREE Chic and Fresh Weekly Planner Printables Every week is Stationery Week in my book.

DIY Painted Wood Grain Tablecloth A couple years ago I was challenged to style a dining table for Christmas. (It still feels crazy to say “as seen on Kirstie Allsopp’s Handmade Christmas”.) Of all the things I made for my festive table, this tablecloth has been my favourite every season since. And it’s definitely not just during Christmas. This painted wood grain tablecloth was designed to enjoy throughout

DIY Bohemian Easter Eggs (FREE Printable) In two weeks, Easter will be upon us! The unwieldy grass and blooming wildflowers around our house give proof that spring is here. To celebrate my love for spring, earthy pastels, and boho chic I’ve made this Easter egg printable that’s too good to keep to myself. I designed this printable with DIYs in mind. There are so many things you can do with a bit of paper, glue, and imaginatio

5 Things That Helped Me Get Unstuck and Back on Track Disclosure | Some items featured c/o Barker and Stonehouse Once upon a time, I thought burnout was something people made up as an excuse. Then it happened to me. Twice. Both times a combination of work that didn’t fuel my spirit, lack of exercise, too many restaurant meals, and plenty more bad habits spiralled into months of no real creating.
