If you’re a newbie here, you may not know that I do a Live craft session on Facebook every week? If you’ve not checked it out, you may want to so here (and maybe give my page a “like” while you’re there? – I’d really appreciate it!). Aaaanyway .. I recently asked the question “what do you guys want to…

Who says gnomes are for Christmas only?! I love these little fellows for ALL seasons! And this cute little Valentine gnome is just perfect for adding some cuteness when I’m getting my daily coffee fix :). You know I like to use Mod Podge for different projects? Well, I usually use scrap book paper or serviettes. (Check out these projects…

Here’s a confession for you. Although I don’t think it’ll come as a big surprise to you 😉 .. I get bored quite easily and can’t sit still. I’m ALWAYS moving things around in our home (my poor husband ..) Or creating something to transform a little corner here and there. Which is why I love to create things on…

Anyone else run out of steam by Christmas Day?! December seems to pass in a blur trying to sort out all the things!! Shopping, buying presents, wrapping them and writing the tags. Not to mention the endless amounts of Christmas cards that need writing and sending! By the time it comes to setting our Christmas table, less work is definitely…

Whatever time of the year, we always use loads of candles in our home. You just can’t beat real candle light when it comes to making your home feel cozy! And of course, even more so at Christmas (as if I need an excuse?!). Jam jars are absolutely perfect for these Epsom salt snowy glass jars. I used some old…

Let me just say, there was absolutely nothing wrong with this home accessory from Poundland before. It’s ticks all the boxes – It’s Christmas, budget AND .. it’s got glitter! BUT it was looking a bit store bought for my liking. And so I trawled through my craft stash to see what I had to hand to spruce it up!…

Do you remember when pine furniture was the “in thing”? I sure do. We had a LOT of pine in our house! But over the years .. well .. not so much. I’ve either painted over it to drag it into the 21st century (you can find an example here). Or, it’s gone to pine furniture heaven (where we’ve either…
