Hi Everyone!

So you may have written to me in my inbox and I haven’t replied…

I just want to say, I have all the really lovely comments that anyone has ever written to me in there and I haven’t replied because then I loose the message. Whenever I feel like crap, I go to my inbox and read those messages. Y’all have no idea how happy those little messages you send me cheer me up.

So I just wanted to say thank you to the following people for the smiles you bring me:

girlwholikesladies, dreamingofdaisies, smallworldsyndrome, amor-gato, theweichin, oldmemoriesyounghopes, maggieisabadidea, glitterhag, seam-and-destroy, and dogswithnonoses

Neon Shoe DIY | Love Maegan These shoes are made over with nail polish! I love the glossy finish the polish gives to the shoes. I have to admit that I have a lot of nail polishes - I am a bit of a collector and I have a compulsive need to have all the colours of the rainbow to match all my clothes! Now I can match my clothes to my nails… to my shoe! These are done on leather shoes - I’m not sure how it would work on non-leather shoes, but if you have a pair you’re not afraid to experiment on, have a go!

Super Quick Saturday DIY: Handmade Collars | Ruche Blog As a girly-girl dresser, I love collars on dresses and tops. This is super easy  to do - all you need to know how to do is a stitch to keep the collar on the top. If you’re not ken on that, you can use fusing tape to keep it on. You can find tons of vintage doilies in Op shops, and if you buy a few there are lots of projects you can use the excess for!

Polymer Clay Bead Necklace | Delighted Momma I’ve been poring over Delighted Momma’s DIYs and am now obsessed with polymer clay. I love the colours she has used in this one, perfect Spring colours. I’m going to try making the large round beads, but the combo of the small beads with the large ones does look cool! Don’t get stressed about it being super perfect, a little imperfection shows that it’s hand made and not mass produced!

Donut Bun 2 Ways | Ducks In A Row If you’re like me, then it’s necessary to pull your hair back when you’re working. I can’t stand my hair being in my face - it distracts me and I can’t do anything until I’ve pulled it up! But then you fall into the old same ‘do day in day out. Well here’s a great tutorial on how to do a gorgeous bun that will take you from day to night. For work, try the ‘regal’ bun, then before you leave for drinks/dates/fun, take it out, tease it up and re-pin for a ‘I didn’t try too hard but still look fab’ look!

String Art | Hello Bee String art is one of the easiest ways to introduce your own personalised designs into your house. Plus it’s fun to do, so win/win! I imagine this would look amazing on a really large scale above your bed, in maybe white or silver (though the multicolour is gorgeous too!). And the fact that there are a million different colours of thread out there, you can go crazy with any colour you want - how about ombre or black with hints of silver?
