"Today, the lovely Charlene from Teacher by trade, Mother by nature is joining the Always Made With Love family and sharing a super fun messy play idea with you all. This one is perfect for all the hot, sunny Summer days we having been having here in the Southern hemisphere and one to file away for warmer days (for those of you in the North).

DIY Pillowcase Wall Art
When putting Sebastian's NEW Transport Inspired Bedroom together something which I struggled to find that I absolutely loved was wall art. I either found pieces which were not quite right for the look and feel of the room or they were ridiculously expensive and there is no way I was going there for a bit of artwork to be displayed on the wall of my toddlers room for a couple of years. So, after weeks (possibly months) of searching and pinteresting, I decided to make my own (at this point I … [Read more...]
