Okay, so you probably don’t really need a step by step tutorial to work out how to spray paint bottles, but I thought the idea was pretty cool and I’m excited to share it with you. I love having accents of gold tinted trinkets dotted around my apartment – the colour gives it a warm, antique shop kind of vibe. I also love candles for their ambience so I think you can never have too many. This

The lovely people at Sugru sent me some samples to experiment with at the end of last year, and I thought I'd share the results with you! Sugru is basically play dough for grownups. It arrives as this colourful mouldable dough which then sets to become a hard rubber material. You can use it for fixing things (like phone chargers, paint brushes, or cables that have been nibbled by my naughty bunny rabbit!)

For the meantime, I'll just be sewing pumpkin spice lattes instead, since this is the most recent pattern for the Autumn Stitching Club. My favourite thing about this pattern is the little pumpkin - isn't he cute!

I love Paisley. I think I might have a paisley problem - both of my most recent sewing projects have used paisley fabric (see the first here.) I've been wanting a kimono jacket for ages, and I realised the most fun way to get one would be to make it! This project was pretty easy - this jacket is only made up of seven pieces of fabric so it didn't take me too long to make.
I used this pattern and
