Crafty Time!

It's time to feel crafty!

I really admire crafty people and their super crafty ideas. I find it so inspiring. So I made an effort to find some examples of what I`m talking about to show you guys.

I came across some really cool ideas for crafts you can do at home that are absolutely awesome! Check them out!

I love these Yarn Ball Ornaments! They`re so cute and easy to make -
perfect for a nursey or child`s bedroom! The colour combinations are endless!

 Here`s another idea similar to the Yarn Ball Ornaments - except it`s made with balloons. I`ve seen this idea a few times and it always looks really nice. The picture above is from a wedding and I love it! 
This idea can also be used for a lampshade.

 If you love reading, you`ll love this!! Pretty unique, hey? It's just paper folded over and glued together with the frame of a book attached at the top. So awesome!! Attach a string and hang it as a mobile!

 I think this idea is so unique. I'm always looking around for something unique to hang my
 necklaces and bracelets on and this idea is so simple and so perfect!

 Patterned paper on different shaped cut-outs? How easy is that???

 This is so gorgeous. It's made of paper and little pearls. You could make several 
and use them as centerpieces for a coffee table.

 I love maps! And this is such a cool idea! You could do it for any city and put it anywhere!

This idea is super cute if you're looking for a shabby chic way to create some storage space. Sometimes simple is just so much more effective!

 It's a pouf! Covered in different coloured fabrics! It looks like a giant pin cushion! Awesome!

Bottles with yarn spun around them! This looks too awesome. 


I hope you all suddenly feel crafty!

Introducing: Le Beanock

I'm always drawn to items that look comfortable. Like a big comfy chair or a huge pile of fluffy pillows. How can you resist? You can't. So when I found this, I hit the comfort jackpot.




It's a combination of a big bean bag and a hammock. I feel as though the word "INGENIOUS" should be inserted right here: ____________.

You can put it anywhere - inside, outside - whatever works for you and it's large enough to fit one to two people, plus a load of fluffy pillows (major bonus). It can also be custom designed pattern/colour wise to fit your personal tastes! (which I'm sure are lovely!) and there's different sizes as well.


Ladies and gentlemen - it's doesn't get much better than this...







I fear that if I got into one of these, I'd never get out. 
Actually, it's not really a fear - I wouldn't get out. And I'd be fine with it.

Colour Me Happy!

I may have found enough colour to blow everybody's mind. haha

I stumbled upon a company called Rice - it's a small company based in Denmark and their products are so cool! They make everything from clothes, to bags, to lamps, to kitchen accessories - plus much, much more. And the best part? Awesome colours!

Shabby Chic Victorian Cottage!

Sandra Foster is an absolute genius in shabby chic and managed to take a tiny hunting cabin and turn it into a gorgeous romantic Victorian cottage. It's the prettiest little place ever. It's only accessible via a stone crossing over a stream.  It's absolutely gorgeous. 
Check it out:
