Lately, I’ve been sharing with you a few DIYs for Key-chain mostly inspired by earrings on Pinterest. It all started to be one post with 3 different crafts, but since I’m such a rambler and want to get every little tiny detail right it would end up with a huge post. So I had to break it down into 3 parts. I promise you this is the last key-chain and I won’t be doing another one in the nearest future. If you would like to know more about this whole story go read the first DIY I did the triple tassel. Or if you want to recycle/reuse old jewellery the Not Another Tassel Key-chain post is perfect. One of the things I was carefully planning was to make sure all three DIYs were easy – not too complicated hopefully – and affordable. I own a fair amount of beads and …

After a solid two weeks without talking about books (pat on the back), I’m now doing a wrap-up of my first 24 hours readathon. So this year, I discovered that readathons were a thing and once I saw how people were coming together for it, got me excited. So I participated in the next readathon I heard about: the BookTube-a-thon. It was a complete fail. I had to cut short my experience and blah blah blah… I have an entire post dedicated to it if you want to read it. Bottom line, I enjoyed it but reading for a week is not that same as packing it in one day. So when Zoe Herdt from the YouTube channel Readbyzoe announced she was going to do a readathon in October, it was the perfect opportunity. I instantaneously signed up for it not minding on what day it was going to fall …

I can’t think of another title for this post. What can I say? This really is another tassel key-chain DIY. If you don’t a understand what I’m talking about, see last week’s post. I have a sudden obsession over tassels, and I couldn’t let it pass by without getting creative with it. Although, my inspiration, this time, didn’t come exactly from Pinterest. This started when I was scavaging through my beads and jewellery collection (that I no longer use) to try and find something I could use when I spotted an old bracelet. It was broken, and I was supposed to fix it for more than five years ago. Let’s face it, at this point I might find a new purpose for it because it will never be a bracelet again. And then it hit me, why not make this DIY about recycling old jewellery? Supplies: Scissors Sewing Thread Embroidery …

So this is great. My surface pen got out of battery, and I don’t have any AAAA batteries so I can’t use it. Therefore I can’t do a what I was planning for today. And this, kids, is why you shouldn’t procrastinate because one day you will be on top of the deadline and something isn’t going to work and time is ticking, so you have to improvise. And that’s what today’s post is going to be. IMPROVE! My point was to do a cute autumnal bookmark. I thought of using a leaf to mark your book is something I wish to do.But instead of going outside and pick up some leaves why not making them. I love making stuff and if they don’t take much time or don’t challenge too much my drawing ability – heads up not the best drawer over here – I can enjoy myself and …

A few weeks ago, while going through my Bloglovin’ feed, I bump into a DIY post for tassel earrings. They are so simple and beautiful I wanted to make them. Although I don’t have my ears pierced, so it’s pointless to be making a pair of earring. But then it streaks me. Why not doing a key-chain? For sure it would look great and is something I can use. Then I realized that a few earing designs could be turned into key-chains and everyone can use key-chains, I mean how doesn’t have keys carrying around all the time? But not everyone has pierced ears. So by my need to own beautiful earrings designs, I decided to do a few inspired DIYs so I can contemplate – and use – every day. Let’s get to business! As I said before, this isn’t an idea I had from scratch it is inspired …

I’ve been in the weirdest reading mood ever. I read a total of three books and not a single one of them was started in those months. So it has been hard and sad times for my babies. I haven’t given them much attention, but things are going to change (hopefully). Before I get to that is better guide you month by month. Try not to get lost I have so much to say… August August was the worst. After the incomplete readathon, I had a couple of books I was already reading, so I finished those by the half o the month, but then I shut down. Don’t ask me why but I just stopped reading. I wasn’t in …

I had the craziest idea ever! It isn’t the first time I see a pom-pom rug over on Pinterest, and they are so fluffy that I just want one for myself. Until here there is nothing crazy about making one from scratch except if it is supposed to have 1,2m for 2m!! It’s HUGE!! I mean is the size that I want my rug but imagine how many pom-poms I have to make to be able to cover the whole thing! I still can’t believe how much time it will take me to create this. So now I need to make pom-poms until my hands fell off – joking! But it’s a great opportunity to talk you through a few ways how you can make them. While DIYing the different methods some craft fails happened… And I’m going to share what went wrong for a change. Also, going to share …

So shamefully I forgot that the equinox happened yesterday. For some reason, I thought it would be in October?! Bottom line, I was planning a special post to welcome Autumn and yesterday would be the perfect excuse. Now I just have to do it when I feel like it. I wanted to do something special, and now I have to post something delicious but not exactly autumn related. Complaining apart, I wanted to share this recipe for months but kept delaying it. Now is finally the time to tell you the best way to do mushrooms. Since I did it for the first time, it has been a family favourite. I’m just going to warn you that it will hook you up. I found this recipe on Yummly when I wanted to do something different with a few maroon mushrooms I had in the fridge. I’m always looking for different …

This past weekend I took some time to clear-up my Instagram follows. It got to a point where I was following almost 450 people, and no one can see that many accounts and don’t miss out on someone. Since I usually don’t spend too much time scrolling down my Instagram feed and since they decided to change it from the chronological order, I want to minimize the great photos I would miss out. So I had to do the lamest task ever. I opened one by one and saw how was the account feed. If it pleased my eyeballs, I would keep it. I know it sounds superficial, but Instagram is where I go to find inspiration, so I want my feed to be all about pretty things. While I was starting to regret the idea, I realized that a few of the accounts I didn’t have to open and …

I was just randomly watching a Youtube video, and an add popped up. I had just started blogging and was looking for every help as possible to write better in English. Before Grammarly, I was writing with what I had learned until that time and the help of Google Translate. Obviously, there’s no need to tell you I wasn’t improving my learning and for sure making simple grammar mistakes. Every time I think about it thank God Grammarly exists, or else no one would read my posts. What is Grammarly? Back to the most important question. Grammarly is an online grammar checker, but not like any other. It can detect more than 250 common mistakes while you are …

I love to be surrounded by pretty things. Actually, who doesn’t?! So, I thought it would be nice to share a few picks to get you inspired and also to inspire myself to create a cute little reading nook. My goal is to create a happy place where I can feel inspired, creative, and cosy. I’ve managed to clear up a room in my house to be my office/craft room. The entire room is – and will be – a work in progress until I’m satisfied with how it looks – which is going to take FOREVER. Meaning, I can do more of these posts since I’ll be searching endlessly for more decor and inspiration. YAYH! As a blogger, I want the room to be especially Pinterestic and also super Instagramable, respecting the basic colour scheme I’ve chosen. One of the walls is in a blueish grey tone in contrast …
