Viking Arty Party

Posted on 4 August 2016 by Katie Poole • Leave a comment

Crafting is something I love but don’t do nearly enough of – there are just not enough hours in the day to do all the things I enjoy and still get plenty of sleep each night! But recently I went to the Viking Arty Party for bloggers hosted at The Gallery at Lumiére London, where I … Continue reading →

DIY flower arranging with Homesense

Posted on 1 March 2016 by Katie Poole • Leave a comment

Flower arranging isn’t something I’ve ever given much thought to outside of the days I’ve headed out to Columbia Road in search of fresh blooms to breath some life into our tiny flat. But the other week the guys at Homesense hosted a workshop for bloggers to learn more about floral arrangements, so I figured … Continue reading →

DIY: Making my own espadrilles with The Makery at John Lewis

Posted on 9 August 2015 by Katie Poole • 1 Comment

My mom has always loved to sew, and when I was small I spent many hours playing under her sewing table while she crafted. I loved the afternoons we spent together at the fabric store, picking out materials and patterns for my school clothes and playtime costumes, and I always felt special when she took my creative … Continue reading →

Checking out Lucky Dip Club: It’s Raining Cats & Dogs

Posted on 30 April 2015 by Katie Poole • Leave a comment

Subscription boxes: they’re trendy, fun, and usually less than £20 after p&p – which means they can make a nice monthly gift to yourself. So after following Lucky Dip Club on Instagram for a few months and totally falling in love with the bright colours and quirky designs, I decided to take the plunge, purchase a box, and … Continue reading →

DIY: Pinterest-Inspired Project for Polaroid Style Picture Display

Posted on 28 December 2014 by Katie Poole • 3 Comments

Remember all those posts ago when I wrote a post about a craft project that was actually supposed to feature a different craft project? (Quick refresher for you here.)  Well, here’s the craft project that one was supposed to be about – a DIY project I saw on Pinterest and decided to carry out at home. Continue reading →

DIY: Polaroid Style Picture Scrapbook with 3M Scotch

Posted on 11 November 2014 by Katie Poole • 2 Comments

In all honesty, this post was supposed to feature a different craft project; a more ambitious craft project. The craft project this post is supposed to be about is one I found on Pinterest for a DIY Polaroid picture display. I even went out and bought all of the materials for it (including prints from Polagram!), started it, … Continue reading →

DIY: Coloured Pencil Picture Frame

Posted on 12 October 2014 by Katie Poole • Leave a comment

We’re on a bit of a DIY kick at home, and this latest project was inspired by a frame that Jeff and I saw in a shop when he joked: We could totally make it ourselves. And being in a cheeky mood, I decided to hold him to it – after all, we have a bunch … Continue reading →

DIY: Personalised Scrabble Board Wall Art

Posted on 28 September 2014 by Katie Poole • 6 Comments

Way back when we were getting ready for the wedding, Jeff and I had discussed making a personlised wedding centrepiece using a Scrabble game set. We started some of the preliminary works on it – including how it would look and detailing what we’d need to make it – but with only 4 full months to … Continue reading →

Today I’ve got my first grownup tip for you: how to fix tears in leather shoes. (Just writing this blog post makes me feel like I might actually have reached that mythical land of adulthood!) You know how, sometimes, you get tears in leather shoes when you wear them? I get them all the time, specifically on … Continue reading →

DIY Sugar Skulls with Illamasqua and Tatty Devine

Posted on 25 June 2013 by Katie Poole • 6 Comments

There are two things I really love and, if you gave me either as a present, you really couldn’t go wrong: statement jewellery and nail polish. And on Sunday I was able to combine the two at the Tatty Devine and Illamasqua sugar skull workshop, getting creative with UV nail polish! Oh hell yes. Bonus points because … Continue reading →
