I'm totally stoked to have had my IKEA Card File Drawers Hack project included in this months edition of DIY Lifestyle Magazine! Though, clearly there was some kind of editorial mix up, because not only is it featured within the pages, it's actually on the front cover...
A few weeks ago we were lucky to have a photographer from Little One Baby magazine at our house to shoot Charlotte's nursery for an accompanying article in their now released summer issue. Thanks to editor Amy Doak and photographer Rebecca Gray for the feature. It's...
...well, technically five if I want to avoid canine discrimination (dogs are family members too, aren't they?), and six if I also count the vacuum cleaner which I'm sure Charlotte thinks is her pet miniature pony. Either way, there is to be a new little bee in our...
I was recently fortunate to have my canister labels featured in the September issues of both Ideal Home magazine (UK) and Art & Craft magazine (France). The Ideal Home mention may have been just a tiny note in the Editor's Letter though I was still majorly...
