Today I’m sharing how to make these cute DIY Flower Bookmarks. It’s a super quick and easy project that is great for kids and adults! I’m a bit old fashioned in that I love to have my hands on a book when I read it. I have tried reading eBooks on a tablet but it just isn’t the same. I mean picking up a tablet just isn’t the same as picking up a book and flicking through to where you left off. It’s because I like to read physical books I need to have a bookmark handy. Often I will use just … [Read more...]

DIY Spooky Halloween Candles (Quick and Easy!)
These DIY Halloween candles are great for a simple last minute Halloween decoration because they’re so very quick and easy to make! We never celebrated Halloween when I was a kid. We might have had some decorations up at school but that was about it. That’s because Halloween wasn’t a big thing in Australia back then so there was not much made of it. Celebrating Halloween is much more popular nowadays. I saw quite a few kids out trick or treating last year which was fun. This year might be … [Read more...]

I’ve never liked yoghurt in the past but now I am starting to get a bit of a taste for the creamy vanilla flavour! Apart from boosting my calcium intake my yoghurt consumption … [Read more...]

If you want to make a cheap and easy cat toy from items commonly found around the house you can’t go past these homemade sock cat toys! Both of our cats still love the cork cat toys that I made last year but Wally in particular needs lots of mental stimulation. That means that the toys he plays with need to be varied quite often! I recently decided to make up another cat toy using old socks. Wally likes to play with my old shoes (see here) so I thought that he would love an old sock! I … [Read more...]
