I actually bought this wicker heart from Hobbycraft last year, but over the year it had disappeared to the back of my craft cupboard. And with some berries left over from Christmas I figured this was a great opportunity for a quick and budget Valentine project. (Which by the way, you could totally use for Christmas too .. win/win!!) PSSSS…

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…

Are you worried about trying to use ribbons to decorate your Christmas tree? Trust me, I’ve been there! Up until a few years ago I didn’t have a clue where to even start. But once I tried it I knew there was no going back! I still remember how excited I was to see my tree completely decorated. And I…

My very first attempt of a Halloween tree is now taking pride of place in our kitchen! I know .. it’s slightly nuts, but what a great excuse to get the tree up in October, right?! And something tells me it won’t be the last time I’ve done this! I had SUCH a fun time creating some of the items…

When I picked up this cheap Witch hat from Poundland the other day I actually had a completely different purpose in mind. I bought about 5 of them to dot around the house for Halloween, but then I had a brain wave! A Halloween Centrepiece!! I’m not even sure yet where I’m going to be using it, but figured with…
