    Handmade home

    Join me as I share our handmade home projects, sewing and craft tutorials to create a beautiful, cozy and comfortable home.

    Take a peek inside our home to discover do-it-yourself project inspiration and simple farmhouse style.

    Follow along as we turn our builder spec home into a cozy cottage farmhouse with budget renovations and easy remodelling projects.

    Learn how to sew, make your own candles and gifts, up-cycle furniture, make-over thrift shop finds plus much more.

    Find DIY tutorials for handmade ornaments and thrifty decoration ideas to celebrate holidays like Christmas and Easter without spending too much money.

    Creating a beautiful cozy  home doesn't have to cost a fortune. In fact farmhouse style lends itself perfectly to handmade projects, rustic thrift shop and vintage finds, and simple, natural furnishings.

    A handmade home is so much more than a budget fix. It's also about curating a collection of meaningful pieces that come together to give a bespoke style all of your own.

    It's the opposite of fast fashion. Creating a handmade home is about taking your time, honouring your culture and traditions, and treasuring sentimental family heirlooms passed down through generations. Being slow is the goal.

    Creating a handmade home is realistic and attainable, rooted in enjoying and making the most of what you have. It's about finding beauty in flaws, like the rustic patina of chipped painted wood, and in nature, embracing natural fibres like linen and cotton, timber, flowers, ceramics and metals.

    Most importantly it's a no-waste, no-debt approach to home making and one that's sure to bring joy and fulfilment.
