Hello A little while ago, I wrote a post about my midori journal and it was quite popular, so I decided to go into a bit more depth as to how I journal. Lately, my favourite method of crafting has been, well, journaling. I’ve been experimenting with different forms of art journaling, collaging and midori-style journaling. […]
Keep ‘Em Creative Juices Flowing
Hello Sometimes I feel like my creative brain has a big, fat piece of polymer clay stuck in it and I just can’t seem to think of ANYTHING to craft, paint, make, bake, sew, etc. (You get the idea, right?) Can anyone else relate? Today I’m sharing the methods I follow to crawl out […]
Midori-Style Art Journal Peeks
Hello Lately, I’ve been struggling to come up with DIY posts and whatever I did think of felt forced and ‘same-same’. This is exactly what I said I didn’t want to do in my One Year On blog post. I’ve decided that I will be sharing some of my art journals on my blog too. […]

Friendship Phrase Cards
Hello With Valentine’s Day around the corner, I’ve been wracking my brains, trying to think of what I can make for my group of gal pals in my class. I tried to make many things and they all just felt forced. I wasn’t really happy with the outcome of any of them. SO, I decided to […]
Made in SA / Zana Products
Hello The other day, I popped in to visit the Zana studio in Woodstock. It was started in 2012 by Robyn and Sue Britz. It started out small, but has grown so much from there! I had no idea Zana was local and so close to home until I read their Instagram bio. Let me just […]
