"Today one of my blogging friends, the gorgeous Maria from Pastels & Macarons is joining us to share a fabulous little DIY she recently did. As a child I remember having so much fun blowing bubbles and doing artwork. Well, today Maria is combining both with Bubble Art. I can honestly say I can not wait to give this a go, I mean how cute would this look as wrapping paper for gifts, and I can definitely envisage some framed pieces making their way into our home (I'm … [Read more...]
Ducks To Water

One of my fondest memories as a child were Summer days spent at the beach, followed by a car ride … [Read more...]
Key Lime Pie
I first shared this recipe with you all just on a year ago and whilst I have tweaked it just a tad since then the essence of what I said is still there. Yes, I could have gone and given it a complete overhaul but I feel it shows how far my little space has come. There are new bright, crisp photos (because lets be honest photography was not my strong point when I started, and still isn't but it is getting better..) and even a printable recipe card to make it super easy for you to try … [Read more...]
