Handmade Liberty Easter Eggs

Handmade Liberty Easter Eggs

Posted on March 30, 2021 by jenny

I love Easter but it has really crept up on me this year. We’ve made Easter Egg Tiffin, folded origami bunnies and seem to be surrounded by eggs (both the edible and decorated kind). Over the last few days I’ve been decorating polystyrene eggs with some Liberty scraps. It’s a great little project for using…

Making our own natural dyes

Making our own natural dyes

Posted on March 25, 2021March 25, 2021 by jenny

I love to experiment with dye. A few years ago I recycled a vintage blanket and used Dylon dye to make pretty bunting flags. I also updated a corduroy skirt with shop-bought black dye and my washing machine. It’s such an easy way to update an outfit. With Easter coming up I wanted to try…

Easy Cricut storage jar labels

Posted on March 14, 2021October 17, 2021 by jenny

I love my Cricut machine and have been using a lot for projects around our home. One thing I really wanted to do was update the storage jar labels on all my glass storage jars. We did our kitchen a few years ago and put our dry goods into glass jars. I’ve used sticky labels…

I really like this time of year as there is so much to look forward to celebrating. We will be celebrating Mother’s Day on Sunday 14th March this year. I love receiving the cards my children make at school (although I’m not sure that will be happening this year). We usually go out for lunch…

Posted on February 23, 2021 by jenny

One of my Christmas presents was the Winter Craftpod subscription box. This is my favourite subscription box, containing three lovely craft projects. I love a crafty project (or two!) to get my through the Christmas holidays so this was definitely the perfect present for me. The Winter Craftpod box was inspired by the graceful beauty…

English Paper Pieced heart

Liberty English Paper Pieced hoop art

Posted on February 17, 2021February 17, 2021 by jenny

It’s been a while since I shared a sewing project but this year I’ve already finished far more projects than normal. I’ve fallen back in love with English Paper Piecing which is something I’ve always loved. I find the whole process really therapeutic – from choosing fabrics to making up my fabric hexagons and stitching…

Looking for a fun way to create place settings? Then I have a fun Cricut craft to share with you today. I love my Cricut Maker and find it’s so useful to make things for our home. I’ve lost count of the little items I’ve made for around the home but our wooden place settings…

Baking a Christmas gingerbread house kit

Baking a Christmas gingerbread house kit

Posted on December 20, 2020December 20, 2020 by jenny

I’ve nearly worked my way through the gingerbread house kits I bought for my Gingerbread Gift Guide. I loved putting it together but was also looking forward to trying out all the different kits I bought. The Waitrose gingerbread kits I bought have been a success. I loved making the Waitrose Gingerbread Box Kit and the…
