Sometimes hunting around for craft items frustrates me! You know what I mean? When you set out with a specific idea of what to get, but you can’t find ANY of the items you had in mind. Like this week .. my plan was to buy a large Valentine gift bag for a project, .. but ended up going home…

For me Valentine is one of those seasons that’s kinda like a stop gap between Christmas and Easter. You know what I mean? I like to making some Valentine items but don’t want to spend TOO much. In any case, let’s be honest, our shops are not like the ones in the US where they’ve got SO much choice! Fortunately…

One of my goals recently has been to bring order to our chaotic home!! It’s a lost cause I know, but you know .. New Year’s resolutions for 2022 and all that! And sorting out photos seemed a good place to start! We’ve got SO many of them (anyone else love taking and keeping photos of special memories but then…

Our kitchen is probably my favourite area to decorate for Christmas. It’s certainly the most used area in the house as EVERYONE always seems to gather in the kitchen. Not to mention that it doubles up as my craft room for most of the time too! And of course you’ve already seen some of my kitchen decorated (here’s my cocoa…

If you’ve been following me for a while you know that I picked up LOADS of baubles at a ridiculous bargain price a few years ago. I have literally made SO many projects but I’ve still got loads left over. And so for a while now I have been wanting to make a pool noodle Christmas wreath for our fireplace….

Christmas is not Christmas without a wreath. In our house anyway! So, there’s wreaths, .. and there’s WREATHS!! Now, let me just start by saying, there is absolutely nothing wrong with a bargain wreath you can buy in the shops! BUT, did you know that with very little effort you can turn this “off the shelf” wreath to a gorgeous…

Can you believe it’s that time again already?? Well, OK, I’m a bit early (although there’s no such thing as being early for Christmas!!). When it comes to decorating my Christmas hot cocoa station in the kitchen, I can’t wait!! It’s one of my favourite Christmas decorations. I always try and make some changes from previous years and I think…
