A FEW ANTHROPOLOGIE FAVOURITES.

Anthropologie is really knocking it out of the park lately. I'm all over those rose leather wrapped scissors and I can't stop thinking about that amazing digitally printed mural even if it is a little/a lot out of my price range.

AROUND HERE: JANUARY.

Around Here January

Thinking about giving this knitting thing another go. I've tried to learn to knit a couple of times in the last few years but it never seems to stick. I picked up this Simple Stylish Knittin magazine for 99p last week, it came with 2 small balls of wool and a pair of knitting needles. It has photo tutorials as well as online videos so I'm hoping this time I can't go wrong.

Finally watching The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 on the big screen. Loved it. Next up, Star Wars.

Making my gadgets bright and colourful with these gorgeous candy coloured wallpapers from Matt Crump. Check out his awesome Instagram as well.

Reading Paper Craft. I got this for Christmas. It's packed full of all kinds of projects from card making, scrapbooking, gifts and decorations. So far my favourites are the papercut lantern and the paper daisies but it changes every time I read it, there's so many gorgeous projects to choose from.

Falling in love with colouring. This Animorphia colouring book was another Christmas present. Check out the #animorphia on Instagram to see how amazing they look when filled. It's seriously impressive.

Watching Hinterland on BBC1 and wholeheartedly recommending it to anyone who is a fan of Wallander or The Killing. Series 1 is on Netflix is you want to catch up.

3 DIY'S I'D LOVE TO MAKE.

3 Diy's I'd Love To Make

A new year, a new month and hopefully some new skills. I don't normally make new year's resolutions but this year I've decided to use it as an opportunity to develop some new crafting skills. Not only are these all diy's I'd love to make but they also all include a new skill I'd love to learn.

Here's the 3 Diy's I'd love to make/learn this year:

Giant Macramé Rope Lights

So this tutorial could not be more simple. I am telling you guys, these giant macramé rope lights will change. Your. Life. They are that good.

2. Natural dyeing. I love this post from Design Love Fest about Diy Fabric Dyeing. I got a book about natural dyeing for Christmas so I'm looking forward to learning more about it. Who knew you could make a pink dye from avocado pips? Not me.

DIY Twist & Knot Wire Rings

Such a simple and elegant design and they don't look too hard for a beginner.

How about you? Any new crafts you'd like to try out?
