You guys, I am so excited. Last week I finally (FINALLY) finished something that has been a year in the making – my wedding photobook! *rejoice*
(Let’s not talk about why it took me so long – I was so flipping burned out after planning our wedding that I needed some serious time to get my creative spirit back) Continue reading
Part of our travels last year took us through central Italy, and we were lucky enough to stop in Florence – Firenze – for a couple of days. Both Mario and I had been to Florence before, but we were still pretty excited to visit again. I’m not going to lie, this time we went pretty light on the artistic and historical aspects of the city (of which there are many!), instead choosing to focus on, well, food. And wine. And also some shopping. Hey, we were on holidays ok? Continue reading
While Mario and I were in Rome last month, we stumbled across a beautiful gallery – I Colori di Dentro – which showcased the work of Maria Grazia Luffarelli.
Maria’s prints were so vibrant, I fell in love instantly. We were leaving in 2 days and had literally no room left in our suitcases, but I had to bring home at least a small memento of this beautiful artwork. We bought a small print on wood for my mum, and I contented myself with three postcard-sized prints on beautiful textured card. One of the first things I did when we got home was whip up some frames so that I could display them on the wall. Continue reading
Happy Friday you guys! This is a pretty exciting day, because it is the first time I have EVER made a free printable to share on my blog! Woo hoo!
There are two versions of each card – one with some lovely proteas, and one with some summery frangipanis to welcome the warmer weather. I love the rustic Aussie feel of both those flowers. :)
Hello my lovelies! Today I am sharing a project I made a couple of weeks ago as part of my campaign to have a brighter, tidier bedroom. Project: Tidy Room has been a success for almost three weeks now, and it feels great!
Sorry I’ve been MIA for the last 10 days, I’ve been super busy! Why, you ask? Well, in fact, we had our engagement party last weekend! So, of course, I had to (yes, had to) do lots of craft projects to prepare!
I’m a bit proud of the project I’m sharing with you today. I came up with it all by myself (i.e., no pinspiration)! I bought the chevron fabric ages and ages ago online, thinking that I might make a cushion out of it. It wasn’t as thick as I had anticipated, however, and it wouldn’t really have worked. I’m pretty excited that I finally got to use it. Continue reading
Last year I was browsing in one of my favourite craft stores (Kaisercraft) looking for something to spend my gift voucher on, when I saw some cute wooden jungle animals on sale for a few dollars each. I bought a couple and stored them away in my craft cupboard for a rainy day. Continue reading
This project is all about photos, and their best friend, Photoshop. Polaroid and Instagram-style photos are all the rage at the moment, with some stores (I’m looking at you, Kikki K) offering to print your pictures in this style for an exorbitant price – I’ve seen places quoting $10 for 10 photos. I used to work in a photo printing centre, so I knew I could do better than that. Continue reading
Almost a year after I first made my chalkboard feature wall, I finally got around to redecorating it! Unfortunately it wasn’t quite as easy to clean beforehand as I had vainly hoped… Continue reading
Have you ever wanted to make your own blackboard feature wall, but worried slightly about what your landlords (or boyfriend) would say when they discovered you had painted an entire wall black? Well fear no more!
Last Sunday, Mario and I were passing some time at a cafe waiting for friends, and we happened to be sitting directly facing a wonderful blackboard feature wall. I’ve seen blackboards around everywhere lately, and I guess I caught the bug. After a very late brunch, I went straight to Bunnings and picked up a tin of blackboard paint and some masking tape. Continue reading
I can do that!
