DIY christmas
christmas gift ideas

i adore making soap for a couple of reasons.. one it's super fun and two they make perfect gifts. when it comes to christmas i'm a big advocate of adding in some handmade presents for a more personal touch.. plus making stuff always gets me really excited for the holiday season!

happy weekend. did your week feel pretty manic too? i suspect it's going to be december before i know it and i haven't even thought about starting my christmas shopping yet! oh well, i'm officially taking some time off now because we're heading on babymoon part 1 next week- yay. i think most people tend to head to somewhere hot to relax on a beach but i'm dragging james to berlin cause it's been on my 'must visit' list for what feels like forever!

DIY coffee table trays

i've wanted to make some more terrazzo items since i made my DIY napkins rings a while back and it was just as addictive the second time around! i decided to make some little display trays/serving boards that can be used a variety of ways and by keeping the colours neutral i can use them anywhere from the bedroom to the kitchen. since all you need to whip these up is some fimo clay and a few tools they're a cute gift idea for the upcoming festive period too..

DIY speckled candlesticks



do we really need another candlestick DIY? well it's autumn which means i'm obsessed with lighting candles every evening so it's a big yes from me! (seriously though this is such a quick little project it was impossible to resist)

caroline burke baby announcement

so here's some news.. WE'RE HAVING A LITTLE HUMAN! 

i can't believe this is the first time i've sat down to write about it all.. i guess i'm still taking it all in if i'm honest? it's the most surreal, exciting and straight up terrifying thing we've ever experienced but at the same time it feels like everything has fallen into place for james and i.

DIY bead coaster trivet ferm living
scandinavian bead trivet DIY

say hello to the quickest DIY ever.. a simple wooden bead coaster for your kitchen! if you're a fan of scandinavian design you'll probably recognise my inspiration from the ferm living cork trivet. (i've always been tempted to buy one but using up my wooden bead stash was too tempting ...and way cheaper!)
