Holiday Bonnets

Kids are generally a good excuse for making all the cute little things you fancy, without having to admit that it's you who is the most excited about opening the packets of fluffy balls in assorted colours.   

I'm a girl who would happily wear everything worn by Jess in "New Girl", including the slightly eccentric items worn on occasion, so here's my Easter contribution to my inner child.

As a side note, if you've not already seen New Girl but like easy to watch comedies, then it's a fun watch.  I was recommended it not so long back by Sunae (visit here @sunaefoal) and ended up watching the first two seasons in the space of three weeks.

All you need are plain hats (like for most of my craft items, I visited Hobbycraft, I've seen all the components in Tesco seasonal aisle recently.), foam shapes, fluffy coloured pom-poms, anything else you fancy sticking on, and some kids to blame it on!

Let us know if you have some good television recommendations for this Easter bank holiday weekend.

Easter is Here!

Phew, wasn't March a bit cray-cray?
Loads of things happened during the third month of 2014 and I'm sure the fourth will be no different. Except this month is going to be of Biblical proportions...get it? Yeah, Easter is on the way!
So I've compiled a list of Easter freebies and DIY's you can use this month in preparation for chocolate egg day. Just click any images to be taken to the original source.
Enjoy!

Pastel Decorating Inspiration

The new year is the perfect time to redecorate and with my partner and I finally moving in together this month, not only am I excited for this new phase in our lives, but I'm also thrilled at the idea of a fresh slate as far as decorating goes. In my last place, I was very limited as to how much I could decorate, as I had just moved out of home and buying all the furniture and other jazz you need to set yourself up with left my decorating budget more than a little sparse! This time around though, all the big stuff is taken care of and I'll finally be able to spend any extra money I have on making my new house a home. Now, I know pastels and florals aren't everyone's cup of tea, but I thought I would share with you all today my pastel decorating inspiration in case you have redecorating on your mind this new year as well.

 Loving the mid century coffee table and "lamp" in this picture!

 I love hanging plates! Praying my landlord doesn't mind a few holes in the wall!

 Mid century style furniture and pastels are a winning combination in my opinion!

What I would do for a pink lounge!

 Thinking this very well could be my dining room if I get some cute mismatching chairs from op shops!

What do you think? Have these pictures got you all inspired to redecorate this New Years? I love how things like a simple throw, nice cushions and a bunch of flowers complete the looks above. Do you have any renter-friendly tips to help me bring colour into my new home? Any suggestions would be welcome right now, so I'd love for you to leave some below :)
