Yesterday we celebrated my sister-in-law’s baby shower and so it was the perfect time to get crafting. I love a good cake topper! It’s such an easy way to turn a very simple cake into a perfectly themed cake. We went with a neutral, brown toned boho baby shower with paper palm leaves, pretty baskets…

How to cut thin vinyl lines // Cricut Clothing Drawer Labels
I’ve been meaning to add some image labels to these drawers inside my daughter’s cupboard since you got them, and I finally did it today. While these drawers are not Pinterest pretty, they have been so good for us. They fit nicely inside the hanging part of her cupboard and they’re easy for a four…
Boho Stencil Shapes // DIY peg dolls
My sister-in-law recently hosted a baby shower and was looking for a craft idea that would be both entertainment and leave a keepsake for the baby-to-be. Still one of my top read blog posts is this one for DIY baby blocks. They make such a great baby shower craft idea, so we worked together on…
Felt Gone Fishing Game // DIY
I saw something last night that reminded me of the magnetic fishing game and decided right there and then that today was the day to make one. Surprisingly I managed to get most of it done during nap time, thanks to my Cricut Maker cutting all the felt so perfectly for me. Then I shipped…
Chocolate, Nut and Seed Clusters // Recipe
Chocolate is my weakness. Like, properly a weakness. Especially if I’m tired or it’s just been a long day of being mommy. In an attempt to make my chocolate snack a little bit healthier I’ve made some dark chocolate, nut and seed clusters. It still gives the chocolate taste, but also includes some healthy fats…
Free cloud vinyl SVG files // How to use an SVG in Cricut Design Space
When baby number 2 was on his way, I was asked a few times what the theme of his nursery was going to be. My honest answer: “Anything gender neutral from his sister’s nursery!” Apart from the one or two pink touches, the room really stayed almost exactly the same. More than four years later…
Jetpack Space Theme Dress-up // DIY
Our daughter’s playschool has started doing dress-up day every Friday and I am here for it! I was never really that into dress-up as a kid, but I think I’m trying to make up for it by making sure she has something fun to wear for each theme. This week’s was my favourite one yet!…
Geometric Wall Vinyls DIY // Free Cricut Project & SVG
One of the easiest ways to update a space is by adding some simple vinyl sticker decals to the wall. It’s great for a rental space too, as you can just remove them when you need to. Being able to make my own vinyl stickers is one of my favourite things about die-cutting and by…
Rainbow Cake Topper & Mini Cupcake Toppers // DIY
One thing I love about birthdays is making a birthday cake. I almost almost always use a box cake mix for guaranteed yumminess. The part I enjoy most is coming up with the decorations for the top though. We recently hosted our daughter’s fourth birthday party and she chose a rainbow theme. Pastel rainbow to…
DIY Stretchy Name Beaded Bracelet Kit // Party Favour Idea
This past weekend was my daughters 4th birthday party. How we’re already at 4, I’m not sure, but we’re here none the less. I’ve been loving the stretchy beaded bracelet trend and wanting to make a few bracelets. A party favour for her friends seemed like a good enough excuse to get some beads (with…
Cork Coasters with the Cricut Maker // Free SVG download
Coasters have been on my DIY radar for a while. I made some cement coasters a few years back, but we needed something lighter and baby safe that would still protect our furniture from wet glasses or mugs. Of course wanting to try cut cork with my Cricut Maker was a great excuse! How to cut…
Leather Keyrings // DIY with Cricut
One of the things that excited me most about the Cricut Maker is it’s versatility. In this project alone it’s cutting a thick material like leather and then by simply switching out the blade it can cut fine detail from the iron-on. There are so many fun projects that this could be used for. To…
Bunny Rattle DIY // with free SVG pattern for Cricut
I have been loving playing around with my new Cricut Maker! The Wholesaler SA has now made a range of Cricut products available in South Africa and it has opened up a great new way of crafting. In light of Easter coming up soon and the fact that I like to jump right into things,…
Cricut Maker – A dream smart cutting machine
I am a major fan of diecutting (or smart cutting) machines and the crafting possibilities that they open up. Bring the Cricut Maker into the mix and the options grow even more. It’s a dream machine! To say I’m excited to be working with The Wholesaler SA, the sole distributor of Cricut in South Africa,…
Dollhouse Bed with Headboard // Popsicle Stick DIY
My creative goal for 2020 was to make a dollhouse and all its furniture by June, as a birthday present for our 3 year old. Fast forward to three days before Christmas and I was sitting making my first piece of furniture for a dollhouse that we ended up buying as a Christmas present. Safe…
DIY Paper Fiddle Leaf Fig // Free Download
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…
