Patterned Tiles

I have always loved tiles, so many gorgeous patterns to choose from (but unfortunately the ones I seem to like are all on the expensive side) Anyway I came across this idea, which I will have to give a go - using patterned paper....

Door Handles....a new use!

I was thinking the other day how I could hang my necklaces better - they are currently hanging over nails in the bathroom - not great! And then I came across these - a fab use for door handles and a great way for hanging up all sorts of things. I must get round to doing this!

Keeping the kids entertained

Another way to entertain the kids this summer when the weather isnt so great, is to create your own spoon family, not only do you have fun creating each 'person' but the kids also get to play with them afterwards....here are some to get you inspired!

Never Forget

Both my daughters have journals - they are a great keepsake for pictures, certificates, tickets etc, as well as an opportunity to write and draw.
But I found this week some other interesting ways of keeping memories, that I thought I would share.

A fab way of recording thoughts and feelings.


In this memory jar, each person jots down on a piece of paper their thoughts, feelings and special moments as they happen, and these are collected over a year. At the end of the year, the jar is opened and everyone gets to hear and remember all those special occassions.

All Packed Up

We are off away tomorrow and it will be that dreaded time of fitting everything into the car.
Am I wrong to be envious of this....

When our car will be more like this...!!!

Upcycled Chairs

I have been looking for inspiration for some dining room chairs, as our desperately need recovering. Here are some that I found...

Painting with the kids

The school summer holidays are here, and its always difficult coming up with new ways to entertain the kids, especially when the weather isnt so great. These are a few ideas of painting, but with a twist....

Have fun x
