When I first began using adhesive vinyl decals on mugs and glasses (or the nightmare of a Baby's First Christmas ornament I made for my nephew) I found it very difficult to make things straight. They would always fall down to the sides, or the letters would have bumps in them. Well, now I've figured … Continue reading How to Apply Vinyl Decals on Glass
I've mentioned before that we're homeschooling. This is our first year and I love it, but it definitely comes with its challenges. There's no shortage of ways to fill my time: cleaning, laundry, cooking, cleaning, teaching, reading, cleaning, snuggling, preparing, cleaning and on and on. Sometimes it gets overwhelming.

If you buy any of these items through my links I'll get a bit of money- but it won't cost you anything extra. If you chose to buy anything from these links: "Thank you!" Haven't you always wanted … Continue reading Princess Room

I have really enjoyed coming up with ideas! So far we have white and black damask curtains, black, white and pink … Continue reading Vintage Princess Portrait

I knew nothing about Chinese New Year two weeks ago - other than that it takes place … Continue reading Chinese New Year Tradition: Red Envelopes
One of the many things I love at Christmas time is a clementine! Don't you just smell them and see your Christmas tree? The first person to pull one out at lunch time at school or work brings so much joy to those around them. And one thing that always makes me feel wasteful at … Continue reading Clementine Box Doll Bed with Cupboard

Do you have a New Year's Resolution? Perhaps it's reupholstering your dining room chairs? If it is (what are the chances?!) you've come to the right place! I reupholstered my dining room chairs not too long ago - with the help and tutelage of my Mum, who is brilliant. I was shocked at how easy … Continue reading Reupholstered Dining Chairs
