Today, I bring to you another DIY in celebration of the upcoming season: Autumn. I’m not going to bore you to death why it is the best season and why I love it so much – I’ll leave it for another time – and instead jump right into the DIY since that’s what you are here for. Supplies: Cork sheet (1 or 2mm thick) Cardstock Glue String X-acto Knife Needle and Knitting needle Step 1. Draw the base shape for the acorn to use it as a template to create as many as you wish. Outline the entire acorn on to the cardstock, cut it out and set it aside for now. Step 2. On the cork sheet, outline only the cap of the acorn and cut it out. Be aware to have your blade always sharp to get clean cuts. There is nothing more annoying than trying to do …

I wanted to make this DIY for quite some time. I got inspired while scrolling down Karen Kavett‘s Instagram and found this. The “hello” postcard immediately stick out for me and I wanted to make those letters in 3D. I always wanted those cute handwritten sign to place on my shelves that you see everywhere, and since I couldn’t find any, I better create my own. Although, it wasn’t that simple. What sticks out the most in the word are the coloured shades, so I had to have them but how? After a quick brainstorm, I got to an idea that possibly – possibly – could work, and I started making it. But as soon as I grab my knife the problems appeared. The amount of work, strength and steel nerves I had to have for it to work it wasn’t worth the effort. The easiest wood to work with …

For the past few months, I’ve been decorating boxes for my friend to give them for their birthdays. Instead of wrapping tiny presents one by one, it’s better to put them all in one box and give it away. Although, just because you are giving a box it doesn’t mean it has to be bland and boring. With a bit of imagination – and a few minutes on Pinterest – it’s possible to create something with attitude and, if you are like me, loads of humour.

Usually, when I brainstorming ideas, they tend to come in pairs. The first one, I already posted last month, I’m talking about the Record Player Stand. I decided to buy wood crates and get creative with them. I was thinking to do a post like “two supplies and multiple possibilities” or something close to that. But when I started working on the first project, I decided it would be better to separate both ideas. With this in mind, both projects are somewhat similar. However, I still tried to come up with something I never did before.

Do you know those moments, when you need something and the Universe makes you cross path with a solution? Well, this is one of those moments. I have a record player, and my biggest problem is knowing where to put it. So I was in the hunt for a good stand. I wanted something simple, not too expensive, and with a place to store my vinyl, nothing else. Despite my exquisite taste which only allows me to buy what I fall in love the first moment I lay my eyes on, I was open to suggestions. And then I saw a DIY with wooden crates in the Wayfair website, almost made on purpose just for me. And that’s when I decided I was going to make a record player stand for myself.

At the moment, I have 7 plants in my office and in the process to get a couple more. And, as if this wasn’t enough work, I want to get a bunch of flowers to decorate my balcony. As much as I love to care for all these plants and watch them grow, it’s nice to have a couple of fake ones. They always look the same, you don’t need to remember when was the last time you water them, and they will never die (bonus points!). This DIY comes from a shopping trip to the supermarket. They had those little jars with fake succulents inside really simple and was about 3€. Well, your girl here thought “I’m not going to buy that when I can easily make my own”. In reality, making this DIY didn’t get any cheaper, although I got to choose everything that went inside it. I …

Merry Christmas, Happy Blogmas!! We are back on the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas music blasting from the speakers, the shops are fully decorated, the fire is cracking and the TV only streams Christmas movies. It’s the best. I can’t even believe today is the first day of The 12 Crafty Days aka blogmas. As I said before in my announcement post, today won’t be a craft, instead of a little walk through what I have done to decorate my office for this special occasion. For the first time, I have a tree of my own to keep me company on the working days and keep my Christmas spirit up. I must say it matches my height. Also, I have two special DIYs to decorate it. The Snowed Ornaments, which are so cute and easy to do, and the Gifts. They might seem regular presents but in fact, …

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 …
