Homemade Christmas

Woodland Christmas ornaments

December 23, 2013December 22, 2013 ~ Wolves in London ~ 8 Comments

Struck down for the past few days with a horrible pre-Christmas lurgy, I'm just popping in to share some photos I finally got round to taking of my air dry clay Christmas tree decorations... Now, unless mine is the only blog you read, I'm sure you will have seen variations of these at a number … Continue reading Woodland Christmas ornaments

Christmas crafting

December 17, 2013 ~ Wolves in London ~ 3 Comments

After my frazzled, manic late-night making sessions of last December, I decided not to go for any homemade Christmas presents this year. A rather sensible decision, for me, what with temporarily living at my Mum’s, not having access to any of my supplies or, frankly, much time or energy spare at the moment… Everyone in … Continue reading Christmas crafting

Liberty fabric baubles

December 12, 2013December 12, 2013 ~ Wolves in London ~ 7 Comments

I know, I know, I had you at “Liberty fabric baubles,” didn’t I? There’s not much need to write anything more… I made up these little beauties a few weeks ago for my sister-in-law who was running a craft stall at a charity fair at the weekend. I’m not sure that nine little baubles will … Continue reading Liberty fabric baubles

17 homemade Christmas presents

December 9, 2013 ~ Wolves in London ~ 6 Comments

This time last year, I put together a round up of my top 20 tutorials for homemade Christmas presents that I’d found elsewhere on the web, for the delectation of my lovely readers reader. (Ha! That is actually almost true. I had only been writing the blog for a few weeks and I was so … Continue reading 17 homemade Christmas presents

DIY advent calendar

November 29, 2013November 29, 2013 ~ Wolves in London ~ 25 Comments

I’m a complete curmudgeon when it comes to advance Christmas preparations. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love Christmas. Just not in September. (Or August, October or November, for that matter…) And, as we all know, September is generally the time you start seeing Christmas bits and pieces popping up. The first few times you … Continue reading DIY advent calendar

Box of delights: gift box template and tutorial

February 25, 2013March 18, 2013 ~ Wolves in London ~ 12 Comments

Waaaay back in December I told you about some homemade soaps I made for Christmas presents. I said I had great plans for the packaging, which I was planning on sharing if they came off. Well, I’m sure you’ve hardly been able to concentrate in 2013 for wondering, nay, worrying if it all came together … Continue reading Box of delights: gift box template and tutorial

Stamp your own gift tags

January 27, 2013February 25, 2013 ~ Wolves in London ~ 2 Comments

I realised when I sat down to write this post that I’ve been playing rather fast and loose with the word “vintage” these past few years. You see, I was going to call the article, “Create your own vintage gift tags” – which is clearly an utter nonsense. That’s the whole point of vintage: you … Continue reading Stamp your own gift tags

Moustache mugs, a perfect man present

January 21, 2013February 19, 2013 ~ Wolves in London ~ 11 Comments

When I embarked on the whole homemade Christmas plan last year, the one person I was really worried about making something for was my brother. I find him hard enough to buy for every single birthday and Christmas as it is. With all of the products available to buy in all of the shops that … Continue reading Moustache mugs, a perfect man present

Christmas knitting

January 2, 2013October 6, 2014 ~ Wolves in London ~ Leave a comment

The last few weeks in the run up to Christmas were filled with hectic present making. I ask you, what sort of moron decides it’s a good idea to make Christmas presents for every member of their family, when they have a four-month-old baby and a partner who is working late every evening? Oh. This … Continue reading Christmas knitting

Man present: homemade paperweights

December 28, 2012November 9, 2013 ~ Wolves in London ~ 1 Comment

It turns out, it's really simple to make your own paperweights. Or, more accurately, it's really simple to insert your own pictures into some pre-made paperweights for a brilliant personalised present. I always struggle to come up with good homemade presents for men, so this is particularly pleasing as you can put in any images … Continue reading Man present: homemade paperweights

There’s been a bit of a break, but houseplant clinic is back tonight. Head to my Stories for the question sticker and ask anything you’d like to know about houseplants! Plants for spaces, problems with your plants, plant inspiration... I’ll answer as many as I can, starting at 8pm this evening. Happy Sunday all.
Throwback to last Summer, wandering beautiful streets in Suffolk. I’ve nothing good to say about real life at the moment, so am just thinking back to past holidays instead...
A light dusting of snow outside the window. Not quite enough to make a snowman, which the kids are a bit disappointed by, but maybe by the end of today...
Happy Sunday all! It’s houseplant clinic time tonight, so head to my Stories to ask me any houseplant questions you might have...
