Do you have a family motto? This is ours 😂 . For reals. . It's a quote from our favourite comedy, The IT Crowd. I think we all know most of the episodes word for word, and we joke about it every day 🤣 . I made this. My darling friend @baameow_xstitch designed it and I did the stitches! She can customise the saying to anything you fancy, so you can make your own embroidered family motto 😘 . Clare is having a competition at the moment too - a chance to win your own custom design! Pop over to her account and check out the details 😉 . #crossstitching #customcrossstitch #familymotto #imadethis #myhandmadehome #theitcrowd #goddamntheseelectricsexpants #makersgonnamake #mybohohome #howihome #myeclecticmix #rockmystylishhome #designupnorth #instahoodwatch #sahstylists #womensupportingwomen #creatersofinstagram #embroiderydesign #mattberry #douglasreynholm #instagramcommunity #CraftAsTherapy #craftyfriends
Morning my little piglets 🐷 It's not an insult you know, I think piglets are the most wonderful creatures in the world! . It's Monday morning and it's a bit grey and grizzly here in the valley. We got up at stupid o'clock to see Owain off on his overnight camping trip - bless him, his backpack is as big as he is and about as heavy 😂 . I lost a few followers after my introduction post yesterday - maybe they read the welcome instructions and thought I'm not for them? Or perhaps they don't like dreadlocks? 🤷‍♀️ If that's the case, who needs that kind of negativity in their life eh? 😉 . My day is looking like this; REST, more REST.... then REST again 😴 your girl had a mammoth weekend (by my standards) and now I'm fucked. So it's a zombie shuffle gibberish talking kinda day for me. . It's a good job I'm gorgeous right? 🧟‍♀️ . What are you all upto today? Do let me know, so I can live vicariously through your adventures 😀😘 . . . . . #mondaymornings #monsteramonday #happyplantlady #monsteradeliciosa #bigbertha #indoorjungle #mystylishspace #mythriftedhome #scrollstoppinghome #designupnorth #weblognorth #uklifestyleblogger #disabledblogger #blogginginbed #everysquareastory #myinspiredhouse #bohoonthelowlow #bohoonabudget #myeclecticmix #sorealhomes #disabledlife #alternativelifestyle #AlternativeLifestyleBlogger #interiorsonabudget #mybeautifulhome #mybohohome #makeityourown #howirent #livingroominspo #lifestyleblogging
Goodness me I've noticed quite a few new faces and places popping up on my feed recently! Welcome one and all 👋 (unless you're a racist, misogynistic, bigoted, xenophobic, ableist, white supremacist knobber.... if that's you then UNFOLLOW ME 🖕) Now then let's tell you a little bit about who I am and what I'm doing - or trying to do - on my Instagram 😉 I'm a 35 year old woman (she, her) from Yorkshire in the UK. I've been married to @eddieteale for over 16 years - poor lad - and we have two teenage kids; Niamh is 17 and Owain is 14. We live in a small Victorian era terrace cottage in a tiny valley town called Todmorden. I LOVE my home and I LOVE Tod! I adore making my home beautiful but we have quite a tight budget, so I always try to share any hacks, tricks or bargains I find to help you all out 😊 As a disabled person, I have quite an alternative lifestyle; I can't go out much and haven't got a lot of energy to do lots of stuff. I appreciate the simple joys in life like a slow walk in the park, baking a cake or a hot cup of tea. I think this gives me a unique perspective; it's also why I call myself "the world's least likely lifestyle blogger" 😂 Following me means lots of laughs, bargains, food porn and general waffle as well as the occasional deep reflection kinda post. I hope that suits you all 😘 Please say hello and let me know what makes you happy 💖 #weblognorth #communityinspirecollaborate #comesayhi #communitybuilding #instacommunity #Todmorden #bohoonabudget #alternativelifestyle #smallblogger #disabledwoman #homeandlifestyle #lifestyleblogging
It's Friday.... do you know what that means? No really, do you? I can't remember 😂 Brain fog aside, I wanted to share my thoughts on my first box from @glossyboxuk 😊 I signed up to this monthly subscription during the Great Christmas Beddening (I was stuck in bed poorly for most of the holidays 😴) because I fancied a treat and I got a discount code from somewhere 😉 When it arrived it felt like a gift! The packaging and presentation is lovely and there's no unnecessary plastic. I especially liked the hand tied ribbon. I was really surprised by the products too - they were all full size.(I've had subscription boxes before and usually there's just one full size product in them) This box was all about relaxing and refreshing; it contained a CBD infused sheet mask (loved this), a strawberry seed facial oil (brilliant product), a clear eyebrow gel (handy), a gentle makeup remover (it even budges waterproof mascara and no stinging), a set of pink tweezers (cute and useful) and a healthy snack bar (which I couldn't eat cos peanut allergy 😩) I've given everything a good try - obvs not the bar of death - and I'm pleased with all the products. My favourite by far is the strawberry seed facial oil, made with seeds from the jam industry! It leaves my skin soft and bright without any shine or oily-ness. I'm really looking forward to my next box! I wonder what might be in there...... 😘
#AD Hello my lovely ones! I'm excited to let you know that the company I bought my bed from - @arista.living - have given me a whopping 50% off discount code to share with you 😀 If you pop along to their website you can use the customiser to design your own bed. They go from a single up to a super king size, and there's lots of fabric and base options as well as all the headboards 😍 If you need a new bed and love a bargain (you know I never like paying full price for anything) then please use my code wholly50 at the checkout 😉 *I will receive a small commission for every time my code is used. I'm going to use anything I earn towards a new bed for my son* #discountcode #bargainhunters #50percentoff #scrollstoppinghome #rockmystylishhome #designupnorth #mystylishspace #howihome #bybohoabode #styleitdark #sorealhomes #homeinterioruk #ukhomeinspo #wherethemagichappens #bohoinspo #bohoonthelowlow #interiorsonabudget #instahoodwatch #storyofmyhome #cornerofmyhome #getcosy #kingsizebed #allthecolours
Thought it's about time I shared my beloved upcycled dresser again, cos it's adorable and I absolutely love it 😍 In case you missed the story - we found this on Facebook market place for next to nothing and we restored and painted it all ourselves! It has pride of place in our kitchen and it helps so much with storage and organisation. It's always a talking point with visitors - this and our magical entrance seem to give big style points 😂 What's your home's biggest conversation starter? #scrollstoppinghome #mystylishspace #mythriftedhome #designupnorth #weblognorth #communityinspirecollaborate #upcycleproject #upcycledfurniture #kitcheninspo #mybohohome #myeclecticmix #eclectickitchen #homeinterioruk #ukhomeinspo #howirent #bohoonthelowlow #everysquareastory #cornerofmyhome #myhomestyle #howihome #instahoodwatch #sahstylists #chalkpainted #spotlightonmyhome #dailyhomeshare #dailydecordetail #sorealhomes #littlebudgetbigstyle #walltowallstyle #actualinstahomes
Slow and steady, the perfect pace for Sundays. It's wet, windy and wild here in the valley, so ideal weather for snuggling up on the sofa (or in bed)with a brew and some crafting! Self care isn't always expensive face masks and bath bombs; giving yourself space to breathe and go slow can be much more restorative AND it's free - who doesn't love a bargain? 😘 What have you got planned for today? Whatever you're doing, I hope you find the time to slow down, rest and take a moment for yourself 💖 #slowsunday #slowandsteady #easylikesundaymorning #howihome #rockmystylishhome #bohoonthelowlow #bohoonabudget #homeinterioruk #designupnorth #scrollstoppinghome #ukhomeinspo #myeclecticmix #mystylishspace #selfkindness #selfcaresunday #everydayinspiration #myinspiredhouse #mythriftedhome #bohoinspo #candlesandblankets #slowliving #slowgrowndecor #alternativelifestyle #alternativelifestyleblogger #weblognorth #communityinspirecollaborate #discoverunder5k #smallblogger #disabledlife #teamcommunity
Saturday's are for sweet treats right? (Well in my house, every day is a cake day 😂) I baked these double chocolate chip and pecan blondies with the help of my trusty stand mixer and perch stool 😉 They are slightly crunchy at the edges, then the chewy chunky chocolatey gorgeousness kicks in and it's EVERYTHING 💖 These blondies are super easy to make and you can customise them with any "filling" you fancy. I've made an Oreo version, one with chopped up Fudge bars, a Twix one and a Bourbon biscuit one as well as good old choc chips 😊 I'm thinking I will pop the recipe up on my blog, what do you reckon? #chocchippecan #blondies #sweetsaturday #sweettreat #chocolatechips #choppedpecans #chewyblondies #homebakingrocks #starbaker #easybakes #disabledlife #weblognorth #communityinspirecollaborate #sharingiscaring💕 #fuckdietculture #eatwhatyouwant #alternativelifestyleblogger #homeinterioruk #howihome #sweetsformysweet #bakinginspiration #bakingwithkids #bakeityourself
