Happy Hello



Hello with cheery smiles! It's been quite a busy few months creating lots of fun crafty projects for my new craft website DIY Kiosk. Thanks to everyone who has been popping over to say hey. I have also been selling some of my publications and new makes in the KIOSK as well.

Since we last spoke there have been many crafternoons making fairy bread piñatas, experimenting with gift wrapping techniques (getting ready for Christmas) and off course dedicating any free time I have to penning letters to friends and decorating snail mail. How many DIY Kiosk projects can you spot in the above photo?

Love Letters


Happy Valentine's Day! 

To celebrate I styled up this little love letter themed shoot for the day. Making a mail box, envelope, postage stamps, confetti, gift bow topper, heart jam biscuit notebook, washi tape rosette, love note-card and a origami perfume bottle.

I will also be packaging up some of the handmade contents into a love mail pack for a friend.

jour de valentines heureux!

DIY: 'Be Mine' Chocolate Box



 Remember those pastel-coloured 'Love Note' solid sherbet, heart lollies that you used to buy from the school canteen or retro lolly shop? Well, inspired by those sweets I created this 'Be Mine' chocolate box. A romantic, yummy filled gift for a friend or loved one to enjoy, this Valentines Day!

DIY: Chilled hearts



Cheers! While some of the world is covered in blankets of snow, here in Australia we are sweltering in 40 degree heat! So I am keeping cool this Aussie summer by adding a touch of 'oh la la' to my Valentines beverages, with these heart ice-cubes - love frozen in time.

The new year has already begun and Valentines Day is on its way.
I have lots of fresh projects in store for 2014, including some heartfelt DIY's coming up on this blog over the next two weeks to celebrate Valentines Day.

For quite some time I have been addicted to making pom-poms. Who knew this little bit of woolly goodness could be so addictive?
I wanted to include pom-poms in my valentines day crafts so,that's when I came up with a idea - make a pom-pom heart! As you can see by this DIY, it is possible to make.
