    How to craft a pumpkin patch sign

    October 9, 2019 - By 

    After our visit to the pumpkin patch over the weekend I was excited to use the pumpkins we picked to decorate our home. We made sure to pick as many varieties as we could to make a really colourful pumpkin display. I bought a cheap and cheerful wooden plaque blank for Hobbycraft and used my Cricut Maker to cut a cute little vinyl decal. It looks super cute!

    Cricut Maker - Monday Happy List

    Monday Happy List {Week 260}

    October 7, 2019 - By 

    I love to start the week by writing the Monday Happy List. It’s a chance for me to sit down and reflect on the things that made me happy in the previous week, as well as to record some of our family adventures – it’s a post I always enjoy writing. Monday Happy List {Week 260} Over the weekend I finished reading The Animals at Lockwood Manor. It was a great book but I’ve been reading it for a few weeks. I’m excited to start something new. On Saturday we went and visited a pumpkin patch just outside London. The kids…

    How to personalise your Cricut Maker

    September 8, 2019 - By 

    A few weeks ago we had the floor replaced in our living room. Everything was packed away and I’ve been enjoying unpacking all my craft supplies and re-discovering some half finished projects. This weekend I got my Cricut Maker out as I’ve been thinking up a few projects I would like to make. I remembered that I wanted to write a post about how I personalised my Cricut machine with my name. I absolutely love opening up my Cricut machine and seeing my name! It really is the small things which give me pleasure. Adding your name to your Cricut…

    Using the Cricut Maker to craft a quilt top

    June 23, 2019 - By 

    I’ve been pretty terrible at making time for me recently. My poor son broke his wrist and has been demanding a lot of attention – rightly so. Anyway, a few weeks ago I did manage a little progress on my Shipping Forecast quilt (I will finish it this year!). I used my Cricut Maker so thought I would share a few details of how it saved me time with my little Shipping Forecast quilt. Using the Cricut Maker to quilt You may remember I had pieced the felt map of the UK to the backing fabric, and I had cut…

    I couldn’t wait to use my Cricut Maker to make a handmade gift for my children to give this Father’s Day. Unsurprisingly, my husband loves Lego as much as my children, so I used my Cricut Maker to make a Father’s Day Lego frame. Let me tell you how I made it! Father’s Day Lego frame supplies: Cricut Maker Standard Grip mat Box frame Cricut Metallic Poster Board Lego bricks How to make a Father’s Day Lego frame I wanted to make a piece of wall art using a box frame filled with lego bricks.

    35 DIY Cricut Maker Crafts

    April 25, 2019 - By 

    We’ve been having so much fun with our Cricut Maker recently. It’s permanently out and has even been given a home on it’s own crafting table. It’s really lovely having it out and I’m constantly thinking of things to make with it. I’ve already shared a couple of posts, including our review of the Cricut Maker, the Cricut EasyPress 2 and my Cricut-made rainbow wall art. There seem to be endless possibilities and I’ve been enjoying Pinning Cricut crafts to my Cricut Pinterest board. I thought it would be fun to share a Cricut Maker round up so here are…

    How to make rainbow wall art with your Cricut Maker

    April 10, 2019 - By 

    This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Cricut. The opinions and text are all mine. Over the last few weeks I’ve shared a few projects made with my Cricut Maker. These include the personalised vinyl name sticker I decorated my Cricut Maker with, as well as the tea towel I made – which I can confirm has washed beautifully. Today I wanted to share another tutorial with you. My daughter loves rainbows so I used my Cricut Maker to make some rainbow wall art for her bedroom. Supplies needed: Heavy Chipboard 2.0mm Standard Grip mat Masking…

    A Mother’s Day craft {Cricut EasyPress 2 review}

    March 27, 2019 - By 

    This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Cricut. The opinions and text are all mine. A few weeks ago I shared a post about my brand new Cricut Maker machine. It’s a lovely machine for people who love to craft their own items at home. You can cut all kinds of different materials so it’s great if you like making cards, quilts or pretty much anything. Alongside the Cricut Maker I also received the Cricut EasyPress 2. This is essentially a heat press which make it super easy to apply the vinyl you cut with your…

    March 13, 2019 - By 

    This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Cricut. The opinions and text are all mine. A few weeks ago I was contacted by Cricut. Have you heard of them? They make the most amazing home die-cutting machines which I have lusted after ever since I saw them at a Hobbycraft press show a few years ago. They offered to send me their new Cricut Maker, EasyPress 2 and a bundle of craft materials and tools so I could try it for myself. I am so excited to work with Cricut but also slightly nervous too! I…
