***SPOILER ALERT*** If you haven't opened your mystery gift yet from your March Kit. I hope you like your mystery gift this month. I thought I'd show you how I've used mine. I decided to turn it in to a countdown. I work long days and mostly 7 days a week, so I like to [...]
Today I'm sharing how I made my Springtime frame using some pieces from the March 'Peekaboo' Kit here. It's really easy and takes just a few minutes to make. You will need a basic frame first. I tend to buy mine in Ikea, but the super markets tend to sell them reasonably priced too. As [...]
I feel ready for Spring now. I've put the Starbucks snowflake mugs away and bought down the pretty pastel mugs and I'm filling the vases with pretty flowers. I love making our home feel seasonal.

I do love upcycling! It's such a good feeling making something that costs nothing or very little. Plus I love that feeling of giving something new love, a new lease of life. We were decorating the studio recently and I found a large Ikea frame that I'd completely forgotten about with an old print inside. [...]
