DIY flower arranging with Homesense
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.

DIY: Making my own espadrilles with The Makery at John Lewis
My mom has always loved to sew, and when I was small I spent many hours playing under her sewing table while she crafted.

DIY: Personalised Scrabble Board Wall Art
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.

DIY Sugar Skulls with Illamasqua and Tatty Devine
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.
