GO TO STATIONERY SUPPLIERS.

This week is National Stationery Week. Any frequent readers will be well aware by now of my penchant pencils and ongoing lust for lists. Since my school days I have always revelled in buying new stationery. Once upon a time I thought that I might grow out of it, but since discovering the likes of Kate Spade stationery and the wonder that is kikki.K my love just continues to grow.

DIY: EASTER BUNNY BUNTING.

I originally wasn't planning on creating any Easter content this year as neither my partner or I really celebrate it, not even with Easter Eggs... seriously! However I failed in my self imposed mission to avoid Pinterest over the past week and ended up seeing so many cute Easter themed DIYs that I just had to try my hand at one. I'm also a huge sucker for cute pastel colours and bunnies so I ended creating this adorable Easter bunny bunting with pompom tails to adorn my workspace. 

DIY: SUGAR LIP SCRUBS.

Today I am sharing something with you that is quite possibly one of my favourite little DIY/life hacks to date. It truly is the little things that please me and with this being something that combines two of my favourite topics, DIYs and beauty this one was always bound to be a winner. 

DIY: CELEBRATION CAKE TOPPER.

I feel that I have been seriously slacking on the DIY front recently which is actually kind of surprising considering they're hands down my favourite post's to work on. I guess I have just been lacking inspiration and imagination as of late. With this Sunday being Mother's Day in the UK I thought that this would be the perfect occasion to get my creative juices flowing again.  

DIY: VALENTINE'S GIFT FOR FRIENDS.

After sharing my DIY Valentine's gift for loved ones this time last week I thought that it would be fun to come up with something special for the other important people in your life, whether that be your family or friends! Continuing along the theme of hand made gifts I decided to go down the edible route this time round as everyone loves food and homemade treats are infinitely the best. 

DIY: VALENTINE'S PHOTO DISPLAY.

Without sounding like a complete and utter cliche, where the hell has the past month gone? I cannot believe that Christmas was over a month ago now and it is already the end of January this week. January coming to an abrupt end does mean one thing though, Valentine's Day is just around the corner! I have quite the busy February full of birthdays and a best friends wedding so I thought I best get on Valentine's Day early to ensure that my loved one still get something special. 

THE WORKSPACE TOUR.

I almost cannot believe that I am finally sitting down to write this blog post! I started my workspace makeover over 6 months ago now and despite not needing to redecorate or do anything drastic it seemed to take forever to get all the pieces I wanted together. 

WRAP IT UP: FESTIVE EDITION 2015!

Happy 1st of December guys. To mark the occasion I thought that it was about time I wrote up a quick post on truly one of my favourite elements of Christmas, gift wrapping! 

DIY: ADVENT CALENDAR.

This year I have decided to step away from the overpriced beauty advent calendars in favour of a more traditional advent calendar. True to form, rather than picking up a standard chocolate one from the local supermarket I decided to have ago at making one myself and I could not be any happier with the results! 

AFFORDABLE WALL ART: PART 2!

First of all I would just like to quickly address my unplanned absence over the past week or so. Despite the lack of social media updates and blog post's my life has been a bit crazy, good crazy but crazy busy never the less. You see the problem is, within the nature of making things whether that be food, crafts or interior projects they all take time and time I have not had. 

DIY: MARBLE STORAGE BOX.

I think the fact that I have actually taken the time out of my daily schedule to customise a storage box just goes to show that I have hit an all time low of boring adultness. However, living in my 2 bedroom apartment with very little built n storage for nearly 7 years now has taught me a thing or two. That is that pretty storage is a necessity unless I want every unknown cable, partially used battery or screwdriver I got in a Christmas cracker out on display. 

DIY: WHAT TO DO WITH PRESSED FLOWERS?

A year or so ago on one of my many scouts around the local charity shops I stumbled across a vintage flower press, something I had not seen since the early 90s! I remembered having one as a child and pillaging our back garden of any coloured flowers I could find and therefor couldn't help but purchase the flower press purely for nostalgias sake.

DIY & RECIPE: THE LEMON AID KIT.

I am so excited to share this post with you! One of my favourite companies, Bloom & Wild have teamed up with the infamous Kilner to create this summer garden party in a box called The Lemon Aid Kit. It is clear to see that I am a huge fan of a glass of refreshing still lemonade and based upon your response to my peach lemonade recipe I think it is fair to assume that you guys do too.   

DIY: QUICK & EASY CUSTOMISED CLIPBOARD.

However much I enjoy working on a DIY project for a long period of time and the satisfaction that you feel once you complete it, sometimes you just need a quick fix and today's post is a prime example of that. 

DIY: FLORAL 3D LETTERS.

This is one of those DIY projects that I had no idea what the final product would end up looking like. One of my close friends brought me a selection of craft supplies for my birthday and amongst them was a large 3D cardboard initial. At first glance I thought I would just simply paint it or something and use it as decorative item but there was one problem, the J didn't actually stand up on its own.

TOP 10 DIY & CRAFT MUST HAVES.

Most of my frequent readers will be well aware by now that I have been redecorating my workspace. I am only a few key pieces off completion and sharing my new space with you so make sure that you keep your eyes peeled for that. However after purchasing a new desk, shelving and storage I faced the awe consuming task of organising all of my craft and DIY supplies, not something for the faint hearted thats for sure. 

DIY: EMBROIDERED INITIAL GIFT TAGS.

Today I am back with yet another DIY. I hope that you guys don't mind that I seem to be sharing one after another at the moment, I just have so many ideas floating around my head that I wanted to try  and share with you all. Typically I have loads of gift giving related DIYs around the one time of the year where I don't actually have any birthdays coming up, expect for my own that is! 

DIY: FLORAL ICE CUBES.

This was a bit of a spur of the moment DIY but something that I have wanted to try for years now. This weekend I was lucky enough to receive a lovely bouquet of flowers from Bloom & Wild. Literally as soon as I opened up the package and set eyes on the beautiful magenta carnations that lay within I knew that I had to find someway of using them other than just plonking them in a vase.

DIY: POLKA DOT GIFT WRAP.

Long term readers will be well aware of my ongoing love for brown kraft paper. I very rarely purchase wrapping paper as I personally love the charm of brown paper and twine but sometimes you just want to mix things up it up a little bit. With that in mind today I thought I would share with you one of my favourite ways to decorate brown paper and give your gift a little more personality. 

DIY: HEART SHAPED PAPERCLIPS.

After my trip to Amsterdam and little blog vacation last week I was itching to start on some new DIY projects this morning. I decided to have a quick rummage through my craft supplies to see if any inspiration took ahold of me but instead I ended up realising that a trip to Hobbycraft is needed ASAP to replenish supplies!
