How to make scented soy candles

Vanilla candle

I have a little bit of a craft obsession. I’m not what you’d consider good at it but I still love cracking out the scissors and glue, colouring in, fabric, stitching, paper, painting – yes I would thrive as a kindy teacher in the craft section (because they all have a special section for crafting [...]

A Christmas party

Red velvet trifle

I meant to write this post yesterday fresh from our Saturday night Christmas party. I was too tired. Plus our dishwasher broke in the wee hours of Sunday morning (it trips if you over-load it which I did) so I had to wash everything by hand and empty out the water with a tupperware container. [...]

Homemade Christmas crackers

Homemade Christmas crackers

So yes I am well aware that you can buy Christmas crackers. They’re not that expensive and they come in a huge range of sizes, colours and extravagance and there’s really reason to make your own. That doesn’t stop me though. To me, homemade Christmas crackers are the way to go. It must be my [...]

Salt dough gift tags and ornaments

Salt dough ornaments

I love a good arts and crafts day. I don’t know why because I’m not that overly gifted when it comes to art. My sister can draw absolutely anything and there’s no uming or ahing when trying to figure out what it is. You know what it is. I on the other hand, can draw [...]

A few easy weekend projects – $5 artwork and a rope vase

$5 art

Happy long weekend! Seeing as we Aussies have 3 days to relax this weekend, I thought I’d give you a few projects to keep you occupied (if you get sick of baking!). From my love of junk mail, you’ll probably guess that I love love a bargain and I also like to take it one [...]

DIY personalised pretty plates

DIY personalised pretty plate

I’ve been on the look out for some fun plates at a reasonable price ever since I saw Celia’s Fig Jam and Lime Coridal post about neighbour ware. Celia is very generous with her baked goodies and shares them around with her very lucky neighbours. What is neighbour ware? It’s the name given to fancy [...]

DIY Rope balls – Joining the Young House Love Pinterest challenge

DIY rope balls

You might remember a little while ago I shared how much I love Pinterest. I am a serious addict. I have way too many boards and probably more ideas pinned than I could re-create in a lifetime. My love for Pinterest is so strong that my Pinterest comes to life post last year was even [...]

Budget kitchen stool makeover

After

I don’t know about you but when I come back from holidays I go into crazy updating, organising and re-decorating mode. Maybe it’s being exposed to so many new things that gets my head over-excited or maybe it’s just renewed energy from being on holidays. Whatever it is, I’ve had a lot of it in [...]

Christmas table inspiration

Family Christmas breakfast

(sing this) Santa Clause is coming, Santa Claus is coming, he’s not very far away. Time to hang your stockings up, tomorrow’s Christmas Day! I can’t wait. Tomorrow morning I will be up with the birds ready to celebrate, eat and open presents. I don’t know about you but I love setting the table for [...]

Beanbag toss – easy homemade kids game for the holidays

Beanbag toss

Just 10 more sleeps until we hear the jingle of Santa’s bells and the clatter of reindeer hooves on our roof tops. I don’t know about you but I’m rather like a kid at Christmas despite my 26 years. I still wake up at the crack of dawn eager to see what Santa has brought. [...]

Fabric Christmas garland and New Year’s resolutions

Fabric Christmas garland

Blockbuster movies with all-star casts quite often lack any sort of plot. They rely on the pull of the famous actors and actresses to sell tickets. I thought that was the case for Valentine’s Day so when I heard about New Year’s Eve I wasn’t expecting much but yes, felt the pull of the big [...]
