Pretty. Geometri by Samantha Alice.

Part of the reason I have been so absent of late, is that uni is trying to take over my life. One of my assignments this session was a rather large practical project that was to utilise both my specialisation areas, being textiles and graphic design. Here you can see the final product of all my hard (ahem, yeah right) work. It is a capsule collection of home wares that includes a floor cushion, scatter cushion, magazine rack and coasters. I designed the fabric myself (!!) and had it printed by the folks at Spoonflower. I am super pleased with the fabric design and would love to get more printed soon. The layouts here are also part of the project and form a small catalogue or pamphlet. My favourite is the magazine rack as I can actually see myself using it.
Enough of me showing off...

Nope, these are not hundreds and thousands, nor some crazy fairy bread from a child's party; it is the brilliant and inspiring work of designer and typographer, Dominique Falla.

12 Days of DIY Christmas// Day 9// Cork-board continued

Wow. The past two weeks have been so busy. I think it has all finally caught up with me and today I have fallen in a heap, hence the brevity of this post.

Despite my lack of actual written words today I do hope you still enjoy this little tid-bit.

So I mentioned yesterday that I had something lovely planned for the frame of my cork board. Well here it is...

12 Days of Christmas// Day Eight// Cork-board into gift

Today I wanted to show you how to take an old unused item like a simple cork board, and turn it into 2 lovely Christmas gifts. I love the idea of using things lying around my house, sprucing them up with a bit bits and bobs and gifting them.

12 Days of DIY Christmas: Day four- DIY Round-up

So it is Saturday. And I am tired. And it is raining. So instead of making lovely things to share with you I am going to clean the house. Don't despair though, I won't leave you hanging.
