Bubs’ has spent many hours outside running up and down our little garden between daddy and her little windmills/pinwheels. One evening while she was running around I decided that a pinwheel party would be such a cute theme for her second birthday party. Conveniently I’d done a pinwheel cake topper DIY a few years ago,…

DIY Soft Toy Rattles // Free Cut File for Baby Plushies
We seem to have a definite flurry of children’s birthdays around June. Of course it’s compounded by the fact that our antenatal class friends’ babies are all obviously born within a few weeks of each other. I started trying to DIY a present for each of Bubs’ friends, but instead it turned into these sweet…
Bunny craft roundup // Easter DIYs
Over the years I’ve done quite a few bunny themed DIY’s. I mean, why not? Bunnies are incredibly cute and always work so well for Easter, birthday parties or room decor. I thought I may as well put them all in one place for you, so please enjoy. Click on each image to link through…
Bunny Print // Free Download
I love a good simple print. They can be such an easy way to add a whole bunch of character to a space. We inadvertently ended up with a bunny and bear theme in Bubs’ room when we decorated it, nearly two years ago. I knew I wanted to do vinyl stickers on one wall…
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…
Mini Floral Smash Cake // Tutorial
Everyone says that time flies by when you have a child. Sometimes they are so wrong, but most of the time they are so so right! It suddenly hit me yesterday that in just four short months our little Bubs will be turning two. TWO! She has grown so much since then and is truly…
Oat Banana Toddler Pancakes Recipe // Baby Bullet
Making toddler meals can be a tiring process. I often find myself out of ideas for interesting and healthy foods, that are still easy to whip up. These oat banana toddler pancakes are now one of our go to breakfasts (with leftovers for snacks). Using a blender, like the Baby Bullet, helps turn raw oats…
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 Velvet Toddler Shoes // Baby DIY with pattern
Last week I shared a tutorial for soft sole baby shoes, which may well end up being the first in a whole series of baby or toddler shoe DIY patterns. I’m thoroughly loving being able to put Bubs in shoes that I made specially for her and need to maximise on it while she’s still small enough…
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,…
Relaxed roman blind // DIY
You know those DIYs that you get to about 98% completed, and then they sit and sit? This relaxed roman blind was one of those. It was already hung and perfectly functional in Bub’s room, but I just needed to do one final step for it to be completed. Basically a year down the line,…
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…
