Me and the boy (14 year old hulking hormonal giant boy) did a festive craft together this weekend 😊 You know I despise unnecessary plastic right? Well shop bought crackers are full of plastic tack that ends up in landfill for a billion years! But we love a cracker in our house so... We made our own 😉 If you want to have a crack at your own (haha I am bloody hilarious 😂) you need to gather a few bits and bobs; Toilet roll tubes Coloured paper Chocolate/treats Cracker snaps Paper hats Glue stick String/yarn/ribbon And then, all hands on deck; Lay 3 loo roll tubes end to end on your chosen paper. Cut the paper to the width of the tubes, then roll the paper round the tubes and draw a line where it ends. Cut here. Glue the open edge down, you now have a long tube with loo rolls inside! Pull one of the tubes out slightly and twist, moving out steadily until you have almost closed off the end. Then pop your snap in through the hole, and tighten closed. Tie with a piece of string/ribbon and discard the loo roll tube. In the open end, drop in your hat/treats/jokes etc, then repeat the twisting and closing process again. Et voila! If you make your own crackers please do tag me, I would love to see them! #handmadeisbest #christmascrackers #lowwasteliving #saynotosingleuseplastic #plasticfree #frugalliving #frugalfamily #creativechristmas #creatersofinstagram #myeclecticmix #everydayinspiration #everysquareastory #slowgrowndecor #slowlivingforlife #familytime #craftingforchristmas #tabledecorations #christmasiscoming🎄 #christmasinspo
It's my living room again. I'm not as bad as @gareth_at_31 yet for the lounge spam... though to be fair if my living room was as lovely as his I too would share it as often 😉😂❤ The eagle eyed among you will notice my tree has moved. Why have you done this I hear you cry?!? Because... Cats. Are. Wankers. We got up one morning to find one side of the tree caved in - the bead garland dangling to the floor and several baubles dotted through the house. The dented bit of "Chris Pine" (yeah, we named our xmas tree) has been strategically placed to the back and the baubles have been rescued and rearranged accordingly. All three cats are either too fat, too old or too daft to climb up there..... for now! Just wanted to say a quick thank you to @caitlinsummer_ for blending wax melts my hubster isn't allergic to! It's so nice to see my little owl aglow once more, and the fragrances are so beautiful and complex. I believe there's a 10% off sale at the moment too if you want to grab some of your own 💖 #scrollstoppinghome #instahoodwatch #howihome #howirent #tistheseasontobejolly #candlelighting #myeclecticmix #interiorsonabudget #everysquareastory #waxmelts #christmasiscoming🎄 #stockingsonthefireplace #decoratingonabudget #sahstylists #acornerofmyhome #magicalhome #festivedecor #homeinterioruk #myinspiredhouse #myinspiringinterior #discoverunder5k #shopsmalllove #bohoonabudget #teamcommunityfor #LivingRoomInspo #catsarewankers
Santa's clothes are all clean and pegged up to dry, ready for his big night in a few weeks! 🎅 We have had this Garland for so long, I can't remember where it came from but it's been a favourite every year. ❣ Today my friend's little girl fell in love with it too, she kept peeping up at it with such wonder! 😍 . . . . #instahoodwatch #garland #christmasgarland #christmasiscoming🎄 #christmasdecoration #december2019 #slowgrowndecor #scrollstoppinghome #myeverydaymagic #myeclecticmix #howirent #howiboho #howihome #bohoonabudget #livingroominspo #homeinterioruk #teamcommunityfor #everydayinspiration #everysquareastory #itsthemostwonderfultimeoftheyear🎄 #santasonhisway #tinyclothes #santaslaundryline #acornerofmyhome #sassyhomestyle #winter2019 #monsteradeliciosa #thisiswhyihavetothriftshopeveryday
Hey there you lovely lot, how was your Monday? . It's been slow and steady for me today although I did bake some festive spice biscuits (they were meant to be gingerbread, but I didn't have enough so had to improvise 😉) and a few of them came out a little bit.... tanned 😂 Any road I didn't burn myself or the house down so all's well - the mahogany ones are quite edible after a severe dunking too! . I snapped this pic earlier on my way back from the loo because I felt that it really sums up our home style in one little square - colourful, eclectic and a bit out there 🤘 I think you could describe my language like that too 🤣 . . #instahoodwatch #myhomestyle #scrollstoppinghome #bohoinspo #bohoonthelowlow #howihome #howirent #eclecticallymade #myeclecticmix #mybohoabode #acornerofmyhome #mystoryfilledhome #mybeautifulhome #indoorjungle #fiddleleaffig #allthefairylights #allthecolours #landinginspo #sahstylists #thisiswhyihavetothriftshopeveryday #champagnetastebeerbudget #vintagemask #macramecurtain #homeinterioruk #teamcommunityfor
Happy first day of December my darlings! The last day of November was a good one; we decorated our tree, got our Christmas jumpers (charity shop, less than £20 for all four 😉) and I met some lovely folk I've connected with through this platform @earthairdisplays @elaine_hook_textile_artist Now it's the first day of advent for those who keep it, or the first day of advent calendars 😂 The last few years I have really struggled to feel festive. But this year, at this moment.... it's starting to creep up on me again and I am so thankful 💖 #christmastreedecoration #ohchristmastreeohchristmastree #firstofdecember #december2019 #feelingfestive🎄 #firstdayofadvent #fairylights #scrollstoppinghome #littlebudgetbigstyle #HowIHome #LivingRoomInspo #myinspiredhouse #myinspiringinterior #myeverydaymagic #eclecticallymade #eclecticchristmas #slowgrowndecor #slowliving #ilovetrees #itsakeeper #pottedchristmastree #acornerofmyhome #howirent #mystoryfilledhome
Okay my picture is shit and really does not do this incredible creation justice BUT today was the day I finally FINALLY got to eat one of @ritualpatisserie cruffins. I've been lusting after almost everything this extremely talented bakery makes since they started but I have never managed to get to their pop ups and other locations. Today was the day. And by Odin's beard it was MAJESTIC. Now they're set up for the time being in Todmorden 😊 and they do takeaway 😍 Good job I really don't give a shit about what I weigh.... because I need to eat all the things. ALL OF THEM. . . . #ritualpatisserie #cruffin #patisserielove #lifegoaldone #eatallthefood #getinmyface #Todmorden #theoldcoop #StarBaker
When I saw this print by @groove_is_in_the_art_ I knew it had to have a spot in my home! The shitty grey light really does nothing to show how very YELLOW this beauty is. It's going to brighten up the landing gallery wall we're working on for sure 💛 Is there anyone out there that doesn't recognise this song quote?!? 😘 #showingoffshitivegot #songlyricprints #scrollstoppinghome #EclecticDecor #myeclecticmix #colourfulhome #shopsmall #womensupportingwomen #littlebudgetbigstyle #mybohemianhome #typographyprint #theboysarewaiting #kelis #everysquareastory #cornersofmyworld #joyinthedetails #colourpop #yellow💛 #shopsmall #notgifted #iboughtit
Looking fresh to death today in my favourite dress and necklace! 💁‍♀️ Despite the grey weather, the cold and my uncooperative body and mind - I am determined that today is going to be a good day. Hence the outfit - it's like power dressing without the shoulder pads. 😉 Maybe I'll go out for a wobble round the flea market. Maybe I'll go for a coffee with my love. Or maybe (and most likely) I will just stay home and knit. Whatever I do, I'll be looking damn fine! 😘 What's on your plan for today? #feelingmyself #iwokeuplikethisflawless #butnotreally #fakeittillyoumakeit #powerdressing #supportingartisans #shopsmall #DisabledLife #dresstoimpressyourself #ilooksogood #goddamn #redhairdontcare #witchyvibes #volva #divinefemininerising #thorsday⚡ #whatimwearingnow #freshtodeath #alternativelifestyle #shamelessselfie
Good morning my dears! . It's wreath day in the Teale abode; yesterday I braved the rain and mud to forage for evergreen foliage. I got spiked and stabbed, scratched and slashed in my quest for the perfect cuttings.... but I emerged victorious 🤘 . I'm using a willow wreath base I made last year, the holly and pine twigs I cut, plus these lovely battery powered lights we bought last year with the pretty pinecones and berries 😍 . The dried orange slices, cinnamon sticks and hessian bows are from @lovewilko and were in their 3 for 2 range. That means this year's wreath comes in at £3 😉 . Are you planning to do any winter crafting? I would love to see what you come up with 💖 . #myhandmadehome #handmadeisbest #decoratingonabudget #DecoratingWithNature #makeityourown #makingahome #scrollstoppinghome #Home_Interior_UK #myinspiredhouse #myinspiringinterior #EclecticDecor #HowIHome #eclecticallymade #bohoonthelowlow #festivedecor #festiveflatlay #yuletide #wreathmaking #slowgrowndecor #slowliving #BudgetFriendly #budgetdecor #alternativelifestyle #creativeinteriors #creativechristmas #foraginguk #evergreenfoliage #everysquareastory
