I’ve had these gift tags sitting around for a few weeks, waiting to be photographed. I originally made them for the Boho style baby shower that I helped organise a few weeks ago. While I loved how they came out, they just didn’t feel right for that occasion. The final palm leaf inspired gift tags…

Reindeer lollipop and chocolate holders // Cricut DIY
Sometimes inspiration is easy to find and other times it’s really tough. I’m sure, like me, most creatives use Pinterest as one of their sources of inspiration. Everyday life situations and needs that arise are also an obvious source of inspiration. But one that is so often underestimated is community. One source of inspiration that…
Glass Plant Propagation Vase // DIY
I’ve seen some gorgeous plant vase/propagation vases at markets and loved them, so when I saw @whatstacyloves make one from a simple jar I knew I had to try it as soon as I could! I added some vinyl detail and I am so happy with how the vase turned out! I’ve read up on plant…
Palm Leaf Gift Tags // DIY
Yesterday was my sister-in-law’s baby shower and it was so good to celebrate her and her little baba. One of the things she wanted was to send each guest home with a little something to remind them to pray, send a message or offer her support over the next few weeks. I’m all for fun…
Hello Baby // Baby shower cake topper DIY
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…
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…
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,…
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 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…
