Fiddle leaf figs are still one of the most popular indoor plants. Well, on Instagram at least. Unfortunately mine is not doing too well and has officially dropped more dead leaves than it has grown since I got it. Whoops! Paper plants always seem to come to my rescue, so of course a DIY paper…

Child’s Sun Hat // Wide-brimmed Bucket Hat DIY
Wide-brimmed hats for toddlers seem to be surprisingly hard to come by. I needed to buy a hat for Bubs last year, as we were going away on holiday. Eventually I found one I was mostly satisfied with, but it cost more than I’d like to have paid and the prints were limited. I thought I…
Pom-Pom Wall Hanging // DIY
Decorating a home can be hard work (and down right expensive)! We’ve lived in our home for five years now, yet still the only properly decorated room is Bub’s room. If only looking at Pinterest would automatically turn my house into the home of my dreams! That being said, a home is primarily a place…
Piggy Bank // DIY
When it comes to money, I work much better if I have a solid goal in mind! While I was studying there was some prize money up for grabs for various achievements. Since studying for exams isn’t much fun, I used the idea of being able to use prize money to buy myself an iPad…
Soft Sole Toddler Shoes // Baby DIY with pattern
I never thought I’d be a “shoe mom”. But then Bubs started walking and suddenly I wanted to get her a wardrobe full of cute shoes. Instead of breaking the bank, I started researching making some myself. And then Zana put their scrap packs on sale. Sold! Add in some leather scraps, some pattern trial…
Rope Rainbow Wall Decor // Fibre Art DIY
Rainbows, in many different forms, are everywhere at the moment and I’m certainly not complaining. Although, if you’ve been around here a while. you also won’t be surprised that I like my rainbows on the pink and grey side of things 🙂 This rope rainbow DIY started out as a project for Bubs’ little room,…
Gold glass succulent jars // DIY
Sometimes it’s the simplest touches that can make something look really gorgeous. Take these glass succulent jars for example, adding a little spray of gold paint to a plain jar makes it glamourous. These would be such versatile table or shelf pieces as they would look great for anything from day-to-day decor to a fancy…
Easy Paper Flowers // DIY
Anyone else find bunches of flowers are really expensive? And then they only last a few days! While flowers really are beautiful, I’m still a major fan of pot plants though, as they last a long time. Sometimes you just need more colour though. These paper flowers are a great way to add the colours of…
Bunny Cake Topper with Fabric Flower Crown // DIY
Looking for a statement Easter cake? Maybe you weren’t, but let this bunny cake topper change your mind. I mean, it’s even got its own little flower crown. It would be great for a themed birthday cake too and can easily be adapted to be a little fox or cat. Maybe I’ll need do that…
Painted Sweet Jars // DIY
I think I’ve finally decided that my favourite colour is “pastel”. I know, I know, that’s not really a colour, but it does mean all the classic Easter colours work pretty well for me 🙂 Today I’m taking advantage of my pastel dreams and sharing some painted sweet jars that would be great for using…
Easter Bunny Ear Bottles // Printable
One of the changes that I made after studying nutrition was drinking more milk. Unfortunately I haven’t really eaten less chocolate since studying though. In fact, since pregnancy I’ve probably eaten more! Whoops!. But, both milk and chocolate go pretty well with Easter! What better way to drink milk (or anything for that matter) than…
Watercolour Easter Eggs // DIY
How do you like your eggs? Fried, scrambled or chocolate? I’m normally I fried kinda girl, but if chocolate is an option then it’s a tough call! Add in some Easter pastels and botanical details and you’re good to go with just about anything. So when Theuniskraal asked me to do an Easter DIY for…
Easy Pom Pom Hack // DIY
I remember making so many pom poms as a kid. There are many ways to make pom poms, ranging from fancy pom pom makers to making mini ones on a fork. The only pom pom makers I’ve bought were an absolute waste of money and the round handmade cardboard ones I grew up making always…
Bird Nursery Mobile // DIY
I just love the DIY touches in our little girl’s nursery. While planning out her room, I came across these stuffed birds. I’d made them years before and left them in a packet, not really knowing what to do with them. Now, suddenly, I knew what they were for; her very own bird nursery mobile.
Leather Strap Shelf // DIY
Something we’ve always been short of in our house is a place to display pretty things. Decor always ends up sitting on the counter and just looking like a mess. In setting up the nursery I knew that we had to have some shelving space that was not only practical, but also pretty. This DIY…
