I have for sale 4 of these Limited Edition Christmas Slow stitch kits. ♥️
I made 7 of these kits in different colours and they sold out quickly so I thought a wonderful Christmas themed box would be perfect for this season. ♥️
They contain approx 112 items in each box and are full of some of the loveliest Christmas fabrics and habadashery for slow stitching, junk journals, mixed media, collage, applique, patchwork, journaling, embroidery, sewing, textile art and so much more. There are only 4 available.
They are all identical and include lots of delightful Christmas fabrics, including some Sophie Allport with deer, robins and stags, alongside classics such as red and green ginghams and velvets and dots. I’ve included lots of beautiful Christmas ribbons from my special collection as well as Christmas charms and felt deer and stags and coordinating buttons, puffy flowers, a handmade bead dangle, sequins, snowflakes and stars as well as other embellishments and so much more. I’ve hand stamped some adorable Christmas designs onto fabric for you and I’ve even made a sweet handmade tag for you to use.
They cost £35 each including free UK postage if you buy directly from me or £38.50 (inc.postage) from my Etsy shop.
All you need is a pair of scissors and you could literally make so many projects.
Having been a crafter since I was just 5 years old, I love putting together these kits from my lifetime collection of beautiful fabrics, ribbons, lace, trimmings, buttons, embellishments, charms, beads, hand stamped fabric words, motifs, bows, threads and many other pieces of loveliness.
Happy Crafting lovelies ♥️♥️♥️😘Xx

#namechange from Chandeliers & Roses to Sarah Joanne Designs 💕
Hello lovelies,🙋🏼♀️
A cosy little bedroom corner for you today and a little repeat explanation from my last post, as I’ve had a few messages about my name change. Lots of you knew it was me but for those that didn’t I thought I should explain again; 💕
When I was 19 years old I set up my first business designing and creating baby products such as exquisite Moses baskets, tiny rocking chairs with broderie anglaise covers, teddy bear mobiles and new baby gift baskets filled with handmade gifts for newborns. 💕
I named my business Sarah Joanne Designs and hand drew my business card design which was a stork carrying a baby and had them printed onto baby pink card. 💕
Some years ago I started a blog, and as I have always had an abundance of chandeliers and baby pink roses in my life, hence that’s what it was called. 💕
I have always continued to use Sarah Joanne Designs for some aspects of my business, alongside Chandeliers & Roses, but as my business has grown hugely, it can be confusing for some of my customers who see different names all related to me. 💕
I knew in my heart that I needed to make everything consistent across all platforms and although Chandeliers & Roses speaks volumes about me (as you will have gathered!), it doesn’t convey all the services and products that I provide. 💕
As nearly all aspects of my business are about my designs, I have gone fully back to my roots and now everything is under the same name of Sarah Joanne Designs, as its most definitely not good business sense to confuse your customers! 💕
So hopefully no more confusion, although I won’t hold my breath on that one! 🥰
How beautiful is this weather, hope you’re able to enjoy it. 💕
Have a dreamy weekend my lovelies 🤗💕💕💕😘Xx

How exquisite are these beautiful materials I’ve been working with today. Do you think ‘the Sisters’ @sostrenegrene will approve of my decor of their paper mache blank egg? 🥰
I’m currently producing an online kit version of how to make some of these adorable eggs so you can have the joy of making them too. 🥰
It will be available from my shop within the next couple of weeks as a PDF document download. 💕
I will put a little video up as a highlighted story so you can see the detail a little better. 💕
I have to warn you though, they’re very addictive and they also make the most beautiful gifts and Easter table decor. Omg just thinking about makes me want to make loads more right now to put on my Easter table! 🤭💕
Have you been doing any lovely Easter crafts, I’d love to see? 🌸
Happy Evening lovelies🙋🏼♀️🌸💕🐣Xx

Our Kitchen renovations are so nearly done but it’s always the last bits that seem to take the longest time isn’t it - the dreaded snagging list! 🤦🏼♀️🥰
Unfortunately I’m not only the designer (the best bit) but also the decorator and quite often the labourer too in our house, so the rest is down to me. 😮
It’s all the cutting in of the paintwork and the sanding down that I really dislike, although I do sometimes manage to persuade my husband to help with the sanding. Who’s the decorator in your house?
I want to paint the table too, with a heavily distressed off white finish, but I have far too much business work going on at the moment to even contemplate it. 💕
Wasn’t it lovely to have some beautiful sun today, did you get some where you were?
Happy Weekend my lovelies 🙋🏼♀️💕💕💕Xx

So I actually made this sweet little Vintage teacup Pincushion for a client, along with a few other items, but I just loved it too much to give away, especially as I used some gorgeous pink and tiny star #Greengate rare fabric. 🤭💕
Thankfully, she wasn’t expecting it as I’d been given free rein to design a few items. I did however show her, but thankfully she has a great sense of humour and saw the funny side. She did rather love it too though. 🥰. Do you ever do that or is it just me?
Still on the subject of things I love…OMG how absolutely darling are these unbelievably cute little houses I bought @sostrenegrene who have become one of my most favourite shops ever.💕
I brought 6 of them as I loved them so much and although they were part of their Christmas range, they’re far too dreamy not to have out all year. Total and utter #pinklove 💕. I may just have bought quite a few other items as well…hmmm 🤷♀️
Happy Pink Wednesday my lovelies, may it be full of lots of lovely pinkness! 🙋🏼♀️💕💕💕Xx

I’m so very happy my clever husband has finally finished this hallway floor, it’s so much brighter and cleaner looking - I love it so much. ♥️
I’m also loving all this spring decor… and aren’t these little wild looking spring wreaths I bought @therangeuk perfect for my doors - I love them! 🥰
Not that the weather is even remotely spring like but we can imagine can’t we…until we open the door. 🤭
Have Thursday lovelies 🙋🏼♀️♥️Xx

💕 Happy Valentine’s Day lovelies 💕
I don’t know why my family thinks I have a wreath obsession 🤷♀️ok ok maybe I do keep making more and more but, I do sell quite a lot, and I’m literally ‘forced’ to make them because I need lots of samples for a series of craft books I’m writing a proposal for, my workshops & clients and well you know, lots of reasons, really truly 🥰
Have a Happy Day 🙋🏼♀️💕💕💕Xx

I’m so in love with this Boucle bed from @dusk.com 💕
We bought it for our daughter’s 13th birthday as she wanted a more grown up room so the whole family contributed towards her new room makeover.
I’m loving the boho vibes and it should see her through for many years to come. 💕
I also made the giant wreath which took a ludicrous amount of time, although it will ‘float’ around the house in due course once she becomes bored of it!
Needless to say she absolutely loves it all…although she didn’t love the fact that I may have taken a few liberties by taking over most of the bed storage it provides! 🤭🥰💕
Happy Friday my lovelies, I so hope you have the most fabulous weekend 💕💕💕Xxx

We waited over 10 years for our bedroom to be done and we love it so much. It was such a labour of love with a lot of structural work and we were constantly interrupted by lots of serious life traumas, but we did it, and we feel very blessed. ♥️
We built the wardrobes using oak lipped MDF so it looked like wood when I painted them and we used ironmongery from @ironmongerydirectuk .
We then used the beautiful antique style mirror glass from @osbornglass in the middle set of doors to break up the expanse and add some depth.
I’m always asked about the curtains and they’re actually king size quilts from @greengateofficial which I’ve sewn some curtain heading tape onto. Because they’re patterned on both sides they make a lovely self pelmet and they look beautiful from the outside too. ♥️
It took me 2 years to find the bed of my dreams which we bought from @darlingsofchelsea ♥️ and the bedding is from @shopmatalan and it feels like marshmallows. It has so much texture and I’ve bought several sets for different beds in different colours!
That divine reindeer hide is actually faux but looks so real from @coxandcox - it’s one of my most favourite things in the whole house! The other gorgeous pink throw is from @pompomathome which I totally fell in love with. ♥️
All the paint colours are @farrowandball and the textured carpet we purchased @barbersflooring and we have it all over the house.
There’s also lots of doors and secret spaces in this room so much more to come!
Happy Friday my lovelies, hope it’s a good one! ♥️♥️♥️🙋🏼♀️Xx

Loving the fact that I can still sit outside in the rain which is quite handy considering our Summers have rather a lot of it 🥰
I am sad that Summer is ending although I feel an Indian Summer coming on… wouldn’t that be wonderful 🥰
Hope you’re enjoying the last days of freedom before the school run commences and all that entails 🙄🥰
Happy September lovelies 🙋🏼♀️♥️♥️♥️Xx

I believe it’s possible to make any area pretty no matter how small. 💕. This was an ugly scruffy alleyway which was really depressing to look at, but now it’s one of my favourite places to sit. 💕. At night all you can hear is sheep and the birds. 💕
The swing bench was an @alexander.rose.furniture @ebay_uk find, which I painted in @ronseal.uk cherry blossom pink, it’s so pretty. I won the paint in their competition and I have to say it’s a really good product with great coverage. 💕
The fencing and log rolls are all from @hartwellfencing 💕we’ve used their fab products everywhere and not only do they look great but they’re built to last! 💕
That gorgeous moon lantern is from @lights4fun 💕 I bought 6 of them and have them spread all around my 3 tiny little gardens. I’m so in love with them they look so very magical like little moons at night 💕
The light up hare and ribbon used for the tree bows are from @coxandcox and the floor lanterns and cushions are from @homebargains and @bm_stores and @therangeuk 💕
I just had to buy a @moccymoo Muslin to use as a table cloth - how absolutely divine is that fabric 💕far too gorgeous to be mopping up baby sick! 🫢💕🥰
And how absolutely adorable is that bird house? We added a rustic pole underneath as I wanted to bring in a 3D element 💕 Both the birdhouse and the little tiny lanterns are from @thebarnatstudley and the totally divine throw is from @pompomathome 💕
All the roses and majority of the plants are from @gollsnurseries who are my fantastic go to place for plants 💕
It was so worth all the hard work but I don’t think I will be sitting out there tonight though, as it’s freezing here! 🙄
Happy Friday lovelies ♥️♥️♥️Xx

So we had open gardens at our house last weekend and around 500 visitors came through our tiny little gardens. 💕
By far the most loved part was our covered pergola which we’ve just finished. 💕
We had so much love, kindness and compliments. Lots of visitors took photos and I’ve had lots of new followers, so Hello to all you wonderful and kind people we met and chatted with. 🙋🏼♀️💕It was such fun and we truly loved meeting you all and talking gardens and more! 💕
We even had @rhschelseaflowershow designer Martyn Wilson @wilsonassociatesdesign who was very kind and gave up his time to support this charity event. 💕
I promised to share how my clever husband built it from my design drawings. We started with a basic pergola structure and then clad the walls with used scaffold boards, leaving openings for windows. We made a basic frame for the bench seat at the back, which we also clad in scaffold boards and this has a lift up seat lid with storage underneath. We added a roof using OSB boarding, making sure it had a slight fall for rainwater to run off, which we then covered with mineral felt. 💕
We purchased some trellis screens from @charlesandivy and added those to the front, then added some guttering to catch the rainwater, running it into the flowerbeds. 💕
Finally came the best part of all, dressing it!🥰
We started with this beautiful outdoor rug from @dunelmuk 💕
The cushions and throw are from @bm_stores 💕
The fairy lights are from @homebargains 💕
The candelabra is from @lizmorrisdecorativeinteriors with hand painted candles from @susiewatsondesigns 💕
The flower garlands and foliage are from @therangeuk 💕
The trellis screens are painted in Warm Stone by @ronseal.uk won in a competition they ran a while ago. 💕

I absolutely adore tactile fabrics and furnishings and I love my living spaces to be full of them. ♥️
My family definitely think I have a cushion and throw obsession but doesn’t everyone? 🙄 one can never have too many cushions and throws surely! 🥰
I have taken this photo from the corner of my corner settee - I need to take a photo of it - and it’s full to the brim (the fam say ridiculously so!) of faux fur and cushions and throws. 🥰
I bought the sweet little chair from @facebookmarketplace and didn’t take any notice of the measurements because I knew I was fine for space, but when we unloaded it, it’s actually really tiny and I thought omg what have I bought! 😮🫢
I had to pretend to Mr Chandelier that I thought it was perfect, especially as we travelled miles out of our way into London on the way back from a mini holiday. We then got a congestion charge fine so the very cheap miniature chair turned out to be very expensive!🙊🤦🏼♀️
However, I added the most sumptuous chunky throw from @dusk on it and a lovely bobble star cushion from @shopmatalan and now it doesn’t look so miniature and I actually love it 🥰
Note that the fire is alight - in May! 🙄
Happy Friday lovelies ♥️♥️♥️🙋🏼♀️😘

Happy Valentine’s Day! ♥️♥️♥️
A dresser full of love - so many hours work to make all these pretty wreaths - all finished and looking pretty! 🥰♥️
The problem is that I use that dresser as a larder, so I need to be really careful when opening the doors and drawers 🥰clearly I have no problem with that, but Mr Chandelier has already knocked two down and the children haven’t even noticed or touched it yet! 😮🙄🥰
These are for an important project but I don’t want them to go! Some may make it to my Etsy shop eventually but the odds aren’t good! 🥰😁♥️
Hope you’ve had a day full of love ♥️♥️♥️
Have a beautiful evening lovelies♥️♥️♥️😘

This is the reality of making Wreaths in my tiny little Craftroom. 🥰
It’s utter chaos and there are literally flowers absolutely everywhere, and although I try really hard to just start and finish the same wreath, I’m like a child in a sweetshop and I get really excited when, whilst making one wreath, I come across some flowers that I’d forgotten I had. Of course I then just simply ‘have’ to start another one immediately, ‘so I don’t forget my ideas!’ 😮. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it! 🥰
This is only half of my tiny little room and a tiny proportion of my collection of faux flowers 🌸 I have a large 1 metre wide drawer on the other side full to bursting of flower heads in every colour, and then a tiny little shed with 3 more huge drawers and quite a lot hanging around. I may also have rather a lot tucked into lots of little hidey holes around the house 😮🤷♀️🥰
Are you a real or a faux flower lover? I love both but find the faux works better for me and my ‘forget to water them and then get rid of them when they’ve shrivelled up’ personality!🥰🙄♥️
Happy Friday lovelies 🙋🏼♀️🤗♥️♥️♥️😘.

Some beautiful pottery for all you beautiful people that liked and left such kind comments on my last post. ♥️ I had so many private messages and so much love and I thank you so much for all your love and kindness ♥️♥️♥️
I’ve collected @greengateofficial pottery and products for over twenty years and this is just a little of it. It was love at first sight and each new collection made my heart beat a little faster. ♥️🥰
I have also collected many of their beautiful textiles in the prettiest of florals, and have even turned some of their wonderful bed quilts into curtains in some of my bedrooms.♥️
It mixes so beautifully with my @susiewatsondesigns collection too. Another love of mine from the moment I first saw all her beautiful pottery. I met Susie a long time ago at the trade shows and she’s a lovely hard working business woman and she told me she admired my passion! ♥️I am indeed a very passionate person, but I was probably also very excited by seeing so much gorgeousness in one place! 🥰😮♥️
I hope your evening makes you smile,
Much Love, Sarah♥️♥️♥️😘

I’m struggling a little right now with quite a bit of tough emotional grief and could do with some Angels in my life 👼 ♥️
I’m trying hard to be strong but it’s really difficult sometimes isn’t it? 😔I do find it hugely therapeutic when I go into my little Craftroom and get lost creating something, but of course that’s not always possible. ♥️
What do you do when you’re struggling and having a hard time - is there something which really helps you to cope with the tough stuff. ♥️
I hope you’re having a Happy Tuesday,
Much love ♥️♥️♥️Xxx

Happy New Year lovelies ♥️🙋🏼♀️♥️
I’m so sad to take these decorations down tonight as it means Christmas is officially over and I feel it’s gone by in a flash, and I haven’t got to enjoy any of it for long. ♥️
It’s definitely the most magical time of year and there are so many beautiful items amongst these displays, many of them being ridiculously inexpensive. ♥️
I loved creating both ‘the village’ on the dresser and the kitchen table installation the most, although they take the longest to do, more so than the tree! 🥰
If you would love to have a go at creating these displays yourself and would love a little guidance then I will post a couple of informative reels on my other account tomorrow @sarahjoannecreates as that’s a bit more behind the scenes of my creative life. ♥️
I’ve tagged all the brands that I can remember, but if you would like to know individual items please ask…I love talking houses! 🥰
I expect you’ve taken your decorations down already haven’t you 🥰…and your house is probably in beautiful order 🥰hmmm…tomorrow is another day!♥️
Much Love ♥️♥️♥️😘Xx

How absolutely gorgeous is this shop window here in The Cotswolds by @domestic.science ♥️
I think I need to recreate it in my hallway because it’s just so scrumptious…but I need to pack away the paint first…🥰
We’ve still got snow here and it’s only just started to defrost for the first time today. We haven’t even got our tree yet because of the snow, but hopefully tomorrow we will have one 🥰
I’m guessing you lovelies are probably totally organised and ready for Christmas…as you can see I’m totally not 🥰🤭🙄♥️😘Xx

This is the view I woke up to when I opened my bedroom curtains on Sunday morning. It then snowed all day Sunday so it became even whiter and it still hasn’t melted at all on the houses or fields ♥️
It really was so magical to walk round our village with snow falling…♥️
We live on a country lane which goes uphill which was great for sledging on Sunday but we’ve since had quite a few cars stuck in the snow and ice. ♥️
Keep warm lovelies ⛄️♥️⛄️♥️⛄️Xx

In my last open workshop of this season we made these adorable little trees. ♥️
We dressed them with the cutest little embellishments such as tiny wooden deers and wreaths, glass stars and moons, pom poms, sparkly bows, little flowers, birch stars, tiny little angels, snowflakes and ribbons♥️.
We then dusted them with faux snow and a little bit of glitter. ♥️🎄♥️
Everyone adored their makes and wants to come back and do more next year, although I think I will do some giant real foliage really rustic ones…can you imagine how gorgeous that would look 🥰 hmmm…ok, yes I need to finish my private workshops and get this Christmas over first before I even think about next year 😮🥰
Please message me if you would like a kit to make one♥️
What have you been making my lovelies - I need to get my Christmas decorations up now, 🎄I’m seriously running behind as I’ve had 2 of my 3 children’s birthdays this week 🤦🏼♀️♥️
Happy Thursday lovelies ♥️♥️♥️Xxx

My last week’s Workshops were all about these cute little Dioramas and Wooden stars with fabric and glitter. ♥️
I absolutely love making these and I think they look really magical hanging around the house at Christmas time. ♥️
I’m doing a private workshop making these with 3 young children next week, but I will use paper mache baubles as they are 4, 6 and 8 years old! ♥️
Their lovely Mummy can’t believe how I keep them at the table for 1 1/2 hours as I run workshops with them regularly, but they absolutely love crafting and are sooo very proud of the creations they make, it’s really adorable to see. 🥰♥️
This week is the last of my workshops and we’re making the cutest little hanging Christmas trees which are very addictive! ♥️
Happy Tuesday lovelies. ♥️♥️♥️🙋🏼♀️Xxx.

This is the Beautiful Wreath one of my most lovely students made. ♥️
Not surprisingly she was absolutely thrilled with it and sent me the most beautiful message afterwards. ♥️
This lady has done a few workshops with me now, and I was both touched and honoured when she said that she does the workshops not just because of the things we make, but because she loves being in my company too. ♥️ Such a sweet kind comment that made me very happy. ♥️♥️♥️
I love what I do, and I really want everyone I teach to get lost creating beautiful things in my workshops because it’s very therapeutic. ♥️ When I was going through the traumas of the last few years, I would often enter my little ‘Narnia’ Craftroom with such deep sadness and then I would totally get lost in all those beautiful craft materials creating something from scratch which is very healing. ♥️.
I do a lot of work with children and they absolutely love it, both boys and girls- ♥️I think it should be an essential part of the school curriculum because it completely calms them down and they take great pride in their work. They also respond phenomenally well to praise. ♥️
It’s still raining really heavy and it’s very stormy here. Keep safe and warm lovelies ♥️♥️♥️Xxx

On Saturday we made wreaths, and the purpose of this workshop was to learn how to actually make the wreath base yourself, using vines such as clematis vines from your own garden. ♥️
It was fun but omg does it make a mess! It's also unbelievable how much in the way of materials you use so for both those reasons numbers are very limited on this workshop! ♥️
I will post a photo/reel later of the most amazing giant wreath one of my students made completely from scratch having never done it before. ♥️
You will see why she was absolutely thrilled with her creation! ♥️
Happy rainy Thursday lovelies 🙋🏼♀️♥️😘Xxx

This weeks craft workshops were Christmas Cards and Tags and my fabulous students were more than a bit in love with their beautiful cards that they made, especially the Ribbon and Lace Christmas trees. ♥️
They couldn’t believe that 2 hours went by so quickly and gave me the most wonderful testimonials - thank you lovely students ♥️♥️♥️
I just love making Christmas cards and tags…It was fun to show them some simple techniques which really produce a professional finish whilst still retaining a handmade charm ♥️
I will next post a video of just some of the materials we used…I think all of us could have gone on making all night 🥰♥️
I do also offer these cards as a craft kit so you can make them at home. The kit contains everything you need to make 2 cards with 2 matching tags. ♥️They are £10.50 including free UK postage. Click on the Etsy shop link above or message me to order. ♥️

These are some of last weeks creations from the first of my Christmas Workshops. ♥️
We made these beautiful Vintage style Velvet Bookmarks using vintage jewellery and charms and exquisite velvet ribbons in lots of pretty colours. ♥️
I always encourage my customers to bring their own broken jewellery that has a special meaning to them and we work it into the bookmarks which they then give as gifts. ♥️
We then made these cute Stationery items in photo 2, using Decoupage and pretty Washi tapes, delightful embellishments and ribbons. ♥️
Lastly we made the most beautiful Velvet hair clips using Velvet roses in the softest of colours. ♥️
If you missed the workshop but would love to create any of the above then I can arrange a custom private workshop for you as long as there are 2 or more people. ♥️
I can also do some of the items as a kit or an online workshop. Please message me for more details. ♥️
Happy Monday lovelies ♥️♥️♥️Xx

I just love this corner of Ruby’s room and I’m often found gently swinging in that chair chatting or reading to her. 💕
The funniest thing is, she’s started turning the deer cushion the other way and covering it with a piece of fabric 😮 - do you think Miss Poppet is trying to tell me something!🤭🥰💗🙄
I’m feeling very despondent right now - I’m hoping it’s just the change in Seasons, some life stuff sadness and the fact that I know it’s the calm before the pre-Christmas storm! 💗
I’m afraid I’m going straight from Summer decor to Sparkle as I just haven’t had time to do Autumn with all the House renovations and my Craft Workshops - see stories above - this is my most busiest time of year and we desperately want to finish as much of the house as we can by Christmas plus 2 of my 3 children have December birthdays - seriously bad planning there! 🙄💕
Happy Pink Wednesday lovelies 🙋🏼♀️💗😘Xx

#shelfiesunday 💗
Everyone needs some glitter shelves in their life!🤭🥰
I use glitter a lot in my life, workshops and clubs and wanted some tiny shelves in my craftroom to put all my glitters on.
So I bought some balsa wood strips of wood from @hobbycrafthq and asked Mr Chandelier to make me some tiny corbels to put the shelves on.
I suggested cutting down a bit of the top of some skirting board but he made them from an offcut of architrave instead and don’t they just look so adorable. 💕
@bm_stores sell packs of these little glitter pot sets with screw top lids full of their glitter colours which are amazing value at around £4 for I think 12 jars. I then just decanted my other glitters I bought elsewhere into the empty jars when I’d used the b&m ones up. They work perfectly and I keep any spare or excess glitter in a drawer 💕
I then painted them to match the walls in @Frenchchic paint in Whiter than White and I absolutely love them - they make me smile every time I sit at my desk ☺️💕
How’s your Sunday going lovelies, we’re building a chill nook in our garden so I’m off to help with that never ending job.
Happy Sunday lovelies, may it be full of smiles🙋🏼♀️🌸💕🌸Xx

Craftroom Storage 💗 Tiny trimmings department 💕
Good evening lovelies 🙋🏼♀️💗
It’s taken me years to sort and departmentalise my Craftroom and all my thousands of different craft materials. 💕.
I’m finally there now and just have to try very hard to keep it tidy. This is my tiny trimmings department which is probably one of my most loved departments 🥰. How do you store yours, do you use drawers or boxes or anything else, I would absolutely love to see 💗.
Happy Friday lovelies 💗😘Xxx

It’s an ‘end of summer need to change my displays but don’t want to let go’ kind of day today 💕
On the one hand I’m planning Christmas workshops and actually bought Christmas craft materials today, but on the other I’m desperately trying to find a baby pink climbing rose that’s still in flower, to finish my flowerbed I started work on before the summer! 🥰 omg some serious multiseasoning going on here 🙈
I think I will hold on for another week or so…hmmm…however, I did actually put a Christmas Maileg reindeer on my dresser last week 😮🙈yes really, but I did immediately put it away again - honestly - seriously 😐
I thinks it’s a case of ‘whatever makes you smile’ right now and I so love these pretty pinks 💗🌸💕🥰💗
Happy Weekend my lovelies…#keepthepink 🥰💗Xx

It’s time to say goodbye to the sea and lazy days on the beach 🏝 💗
We have no internet or tv here and can only get phone reception around midnight which disappears by the morning but it’s been very therapeutic and healing.
I’m going to really miss this view and the calming noise of the ocean 🌊.
I’ve been having lots of Earth Grounding which Mr Chandelier finds highly amusing but we all know Mother Nature knows best 🥰
My youngest is about to start senior school and September to Christmas is my most busiest time of year plus we’re still renovating! 😮Gosh it makes me tired even thinking about it! 🥰.
We’ve had the most wonderful weather though haven’t we and I do so hope you’ve had a lovely Summer that’s made you smile lots 😊.
Happy Weekend my lovelies 🙋🏼♀️💗😘Xx

I most definitely have a wreath obsession 🥰. I’m always making and buying them and just my bedroom alone has seven in it 😮🙄 (I didn’t actually realise that until I counted them just now 😮seriously!) ☺️.
I often create intending to sell them, and I do indeed sell quite a lot, but because I make everything with such love to fit the colours of my home, I usually can’t bear to let them go 🥰.
In my defence, I do hold quite a lot of creative workshops, which do include wreath making so I guess they could be classed as ‘samples’ 😮🙄🥰
I have a tiny little shed which stores predominantly wreath making materials, but it does now have a ‘completed wreath no room in the house’ department! ☺️
Do you love making wreaths lovelies, or is it just me? 🥰💜😘

I’m so happy with how this beautiful wooden wall at the beach house turned out 🤍
This is the largest wall in the main living space at our tiny beach house, which we’ve been renovating for the last year. 🤍
I designed this property to have a scandi / boho vibe so I always knew it would have to have plenty of wood, whites and texture. 🤍
Mr Chandelier really didn’t want to install it as from a construction point of view, it was grief 🤦🏼♀️.
However from a design point of view I absolutely had to have it as the property was really bland and lacking in any character 🤍
We used beautiful reclaimed boards with a lovely patina to give that wonderful ‘I’ve been here for at least a hundred years’ feel. 🤍
I started by roughly painting the wall following the grain with @frenchicpaint in Whiter than White. I chose this as I love the tone, have it in my craftroom and when I did a load of samples, it was by far the best paint for staying power when sanded 🤍.
24 hours later I painted the top coat using the same technique, but slightly altering the coverage. I used Slaked Lime Mid by @littlegreenepaintcompany as again, I love the colour and have it at home, plus it has the slightest hint of taupe compared to the Whiter than White 🤍.
I then heavily sanded the wall which yes, was a nightmare job but omg do we love it. Everyone comments on it and it has totally made the room. 🤍🤍🤍
This property will soon be available as a location shoot house, message me for further details 🤍.
@littlegreenepaintcompany paint purchased from @brewerspaints which are fabulously helpful whichever branch you visit 🙋🏼♀️.🤍
Happy Friday lovelies whatever you’re doing, painting or otherwise! ☺️🤍😘🤍😘Xx

I held a workshop yesterday morning @campdenhomenursing to make these adorable Easter bunny pots and everyone loved making them so much.💕They were rightly proud of their sweet creations and thought they looked hand painted 🥰 So very therapeutic. 💗
I then made them again in the afternoon with my Craft Club students and filled them with chocolate🥰 The Mums rather loved them too☺️💗
They are very addictive to make and looked so cute and I loved how everyone does something completely different! I will just point out that it was the adults that used way more glitter!!! 🥰💕
If you would love to attend or have a private workshop with me here in The Cotswolds please message me 💕
My little Ruby won the best Eco Easter Bonnet competition at Primary school today for the most adorable bunny hat. She made it completely on her own from materials we had. Well done Sweetheart!🤗💜😘I will pop a photo on my stories as it poured with rain just as they finished 🥰
Happy Friday lovelies may your evening make you smile lots ☺️💕💗💕Xx

Morning lovelies 🙋🏼♀️💜
How absolutely gorgeous is this beautiful blossom tree. We have a few blossom trees in our tiny gardens and they make me smile so much to see them 💕
This area used to be tarmac 😮 so I designed this charming play area which works beautifully and is just big enough for picnics on the tiny lawn 🥰.
Everyone also loves the swing just to the left of the playhouse, proof indeed that you can do a lot with a small space 💕
We’ve had snow on the school run this morning then bright sunshine and then blizzards today 🥰.
Is everyone ok? 🤍 I have a sad funeral tomorrow so wanted to post some sunshine today 🤍🤍🤍
Happy Thursday lovelies and may many things make you smile today 🤍🤗😘Xx

I absolutely love love love my daughter’s room makeover I did for her birthday. 🤍🤍🤍
She came home from school to find a grown up bed, dressed with the most beautiful @spinkiebaby tulle canopy and giant Pom Poms to hang above this macrame hanging chair we bought as one of her presents. We bought them from @livandprimrose who was so helpful sending out samples at the eleventh hour and making sure I got it all on time 🤍🤍🤍
She was beyond excited (as was I 🥰) as she wasn’t expecting any of it. The chair is just dreamy and the Pom Poms not only look equally as dreamy, but also hide the metal chains. 🤍
She had wanted a bedroom like our Master bedroom but with a bit of a boho feel to it too, as that’s how I’m decorating our tiny beach home and she loves it ☺️💕
It took a lot of secret planning as we had to get a good fixing from a support beam above, for the chair days before and organise and hide a 3’ mattress, canopy and swing seat, seriously hard work! ☺️.
I just adore doing children’s rooms and they’re one of my specialties. I’ve done so many but I will never tire of them as I’m usually allowed to let my imagination run wild and really make them magical. I love finding and making individual treasures that fit the brief and the colour tones and theme. I also love getting carried away with the detail. 🤍😍🤍
I just want to move in, swing and dream. 💕

Hello lovelies 🙋🏼♀️ here is a little gallery of all the Christmas decor which I have to say I was a little sad to pack away 💕
This is the cute Maileg sledge I made for the Maileg House which is just so adorable. All the materials were from @therangeartscrafts and it just needed a quick paint, a few Pom poms, some of their fur trim and a few fabric flowers 💕
I hope you’ve had a lovely start to the New Year and may it be a Healthy and Happy one for us all 💕
Much Love,
Sarah 💕🤗💜😘Xx

I know it’s a little crazy (bit like me! ☺️)but I like to spend this time completing all the half finished Projects from the last few weeks. 💕
Amongst many other things I’ve been making the cutest sledge for the Maileg toys, as you do!☺️🐭💕
Apologies for not posting the video to make the sweet little trees but my phone storage is full and I’ve been deleting apps just to take photos 😮🙄. I have a new phone waiting with a lot more storage I just need to set it up 🙄so wish I was more technical 🥰
Happy Chilling lovelies 🤗💕😘

I’ve been holding workshops to make these little trees and they have been so loved by both the adults and the children☺️💜
I have to say they are a bit addictive and they are so simple to make.
Perhaps I should make a video and have loads more people smile at such a simple sweet craft ☺️shout if you would like one 💜

We woke up to this today and on Saturday too, so very magical.
My little Ruby didn’t have time to make a big snowman before school so quickly made the smallest little snowman pair you ever did see💕how cute are they 🤗💕
It’s absolutely freezing here and our boiler is messing around 🙄not the best time to lose your heat but we do have a real fire and an Aga so at least we have some other heat sources.
Who else has had snow?
Happy Monday lovelies 💕💕💕🤗Xxx

My heart beats a little faster when I go into my craftroom, especially when it’s dark and the fairy lights are on. It’s a secret hidden room which makes it even more magical 💕
I had a little count up of my ribbons the other day and I have around 600+ rolls in every conceivable colour 😮. So why is it then, when I shop @therangeartscrafts these jump into my trolley 🙄. These are just the ribbons I purchased from my last 2 weekly trips, amongst many other things. I can only say in my defence that I needed them 😉Wow! #Love The Range ☺️💕🤗
I’m holding lots of workshops and craft club sessions, and making like mad for my own house, alongside the house renovations so excessive craft materials can always be justified ☺️how about you! 🥰. I do so love Christmas 🎄 what do you love to create for Christmas? 💜
Happy Friday lovelies 🤗💕😘Xx

A little en-suite love today as I’ve never posted it before. 💕It’s been a lot of work and quite a lot of grief, mostly because we moved the wall over and took about 8 inches from our bedroom to make it work 🙄💕
I know it doesn’t sound like a lot, and it was lots of work for Mr Chandelier, but it enabled us to have this lovely set up and utilise this gorgeous old piece of rustic oak from @lakeswoodwork 💕We chopped it around a bit to make it work. It’s so tactile and beautiful and has given us the rustic look and colour we were after. 💕
The tiles are Egyptian Limestone and were from @indigenousltduk and I would highly recommend them for their customer service. The sample we ordered them from was a lot paler but unfortunately, when our order reached Egypt they had reached a different layer in the limestone quarry and our colour tone was darker.
A lot of companies would have just shipped them anyway, but Mark the owner called us and said come and take a look as I know it’s not the original colour tone you wanted. He knew how pedantic I am about colour tones! We decided to go with them anyway as I’d been looking for 2 years and we are really happy with them, they are the most beautiful natural stone. 💕
It is so wonderful and sadly rare to find a decent company that really cares when things aren’t quite right, and I have and will go back to them, and I have recommended them to lots of friends, purely because of their fantastic customer service. 🤗💕
They also have the most beautiful products and visiting their showroom actually makes my heart beat faster ☺️💕
Happy Weekend lovelies 💕💕❤️🤗😘

I’m absolutely loving this #nkuku rusty star garland which I bought from @kikiandbow 💕
I actually bought it for the beach house as it has that scandi boho vibe but I love it so much that I haven’t taken it there yet ☺️even though I think it annoys the family every time they use the kettle ☺️🙄💕
I am going to try and post a lot more style edits as I’m constantly asked where I buy a lot of my interiors from. One friend came round and asked if I could post absolutely everything onto Instagram as she loves it all😮🙋🏼♀️.
Ok I can’t promise that, but I will try harder as houses and interiors are my work, my passions and indeed my whole life. I absolutely love love love talking about anything to do with them so please ask away☺️ 💕💕💕
The Beautiful heart embossed jug is from @therangeuk and is a brilliant size and price 💕
Kitchen cabinets, tiles and Aga from @firedearthuk and they are their Bastide oak range and the tiles have been discontinued but they have very similar 💕
Star tea towel from good old @tkmaxxuk where I like to frequent rather too often ☺️💕
Happy Friday lovelies 🤗💕💕💕😘

We have spent the summer renovating this teeny tiny little property overlooking Swanage Bay 💕.
We affectionately call it The Beach House but it’s just a tiny little 1 bedroom apartment.
We were meant to be renovating and then selling on but we have totally fallen in love 💕. Even when we had gutted it and it was a shell with just hot water to one tiny sink and we had blow up mattresses all in a row we didn’t want to go home. 💕
We now sleep on the sofa bed and just arrive and open up the doors to listen to the sea. We have no tv or internet but have found it incredibly therapeutic, especially after the last couple of years 💕
I’ve decorated in Scandi style and we’re nearly done now just the finishing bits to go. 💕
Happy half term beautiful friends 💕. I hope your week is full of happiness and love 💜💕💜

Summer entertaining is sadly coming to an end but at least we’ve had some wonderful sunshine this week 💕
My littlest went back to school on Tuesday and I’m now entering my most manic time of year with 2 house renovations still to complete 🤭.
All my Creative Workshops and Craft clubs are restarting, alongside my house redesign and renovation work 😮☺️. I am however very grateful to have lots of work which I am truly passionate about, I just need a few more hours in the day or another me clone! ☺️💕
I know it’s going to be a hard few months but I do so love the magic and sparkle that’s on its way 😉💕
I do so hope you’ve had a happy week and you’re enjoying some beautiful sunshine 😘
Happy Friday lovelies 🙋🏼♀️💕💕💕Xxx

I recently posted about the trauma of losing my hair to chemotherapy, and now it’s grown back, how I constantly get told by strangers how beautiful my hair is 😮💕
Well, the wonderful people @johnmastersorganicsuk contacted me after that post and said how beautiful they thought my hair was, how touched they were by my story and could they feature me in their newsletter 🤭💕
Wow! I have had so many sad tears over losing my hair and for the first time in 2 years I cried happy tears. 💕
They also very kindly sent me some of their products for fine hair which I have been using ever since 💕
I started using their products long before I became unwell, simply because I wanted to be as chemical free as possible 💕
I truly believe with all my heart that using their products totally helped my hair grow back to the condition it’s in today, and I have always been a great ambassador for them, without them ever contacting me. Amazing products sell themselves by word of mouth. 💕
Shortly after using the fine hair products they sent me, I actually got told 7 times in one afternoon how lovely my hair was 🤭what a wonderful thing to hear after such sadness and trauma ☺️💕
So thank you @johnmastersorganicsuk with all my heart, for the part you play in making me smile at my reflection again 💕 I love not only your products but your whole ethos and I think the results and unbelievably wonderful compliments I repeatedly get speak for themselves 💕🤗💕
So to anyone sadly losing their hair right now, keep strong, stay brave, give @johnmastersorganicsuk products a try and look at my incredible hair story. I’ll happily answer any questions you have, I’m here for you, just message me 💕
Happy Friday lovelies 💕💕💕Xxx

At last our bedroom is completely finished 🤭💕
We finally had the carpet laid, which we bought @barbersflooring and are so very happy with it 💕.
It was such a ridiculously long project, started a couple of years ago, but this room and our en-suite was such a phenomenal amount of work, with a lot of bespoke building and joinery detail. 💕
The wardrobes were a lot of grief too, 2nd photo, as we were using old internal drawers which we already had. However, they were all different colours and sizes and very ugly so it took many, many hours to get them looking pretty. They most definitely deserve a post of their own ☺️💕
It was the view from one of our bedroom windows, 3rd photo, which actually sold us this house, looking out over the valley at the hills and the little honeypot cottages 💕
Now to finish the rest of the house and our other renovation we’re doing on a tiny little property by the beach in Dorset. What’s your current project, I love talking houses.
Happy Friday lovelies 💕💜💕Xx

How absolutely gorgeous are these beautiful roses my lovely Mum bought me for my birthday from @marksandspencer 💕
Baby pink roses and peonies, or indeed any baby pink flowers, are my absolute favourite and this bouquet was so full I decided to put them in a pretty bucket on my table where they looked so very pretty, and they lasted for ages 💕
I had more beautiful flowers for my birthday too, I have a special friend (J💕) who always buys me baby pink flowers and would often leave me a bunch on my doorstep to come home to when I wasn’t well 💜how lovely is that 💕
How divine is this beautiful weather, we’ve been in Dorset where we’re renovating a teeny tiny apartment overlooking the sea and loving every minute of it ☺️. Hope you’re having some fun in the sun too.
Happy Sunday lovelies 💕💕💕Xx

It’s been a really tough month but these beautiful tumbled marble tiles are finally going on ☺️💕
I am currently running 2 house renovation projects but I haven’t been too well and I’ve had some tough hospital visits and a biopsy, but I am lucky 🍀 strong 💪🏼 and blessed 💕and all is good.
And how very gorgeous is this stunning ladder from @nordichouse which I absolutely had to have. The funny thing is I saw it on Charlotte’s beautiful feed @lottieshousebuild and when I asked where it was from, I already had it in my basket on my computer along with some other delightful products from Nordic House. I didn’t realise it was the same one as it looked quite different ☺️💕
My family now think I have a ladder obsession as I’ve bought 2 in the last month😮🙄☺️💕
Happy Friday lovelies 💕💕💕😘😘😘

Would you like to make some of these cute Easter bunny cards, they’re so very quick and easy to do💕
I made them for my family in a hurry to catch the post so they got them in time 💕
Just get an Easter serviette and cut round whichever motif you choose, bunnies and eggs are the obvious choice ☺️
Separate and peel back the extra layers of tissue so you’re just left with the top one, and then stick onto a blank card with pva glue or similar, being careful not to tear it as you stick down 💕
Delicately add a thin layer of glue on top of your motif and sprinkle the tiniest bit of glitter to add a little Easter Sparkle and voila ☺️💕🐰
I so wanted to make up a few kits but as always, my house renovations take up all my time 🙄I am doing two of them now, one is business, so more than a bit manic 😮☺️💕
Happy Good Friday lovelies 💕💕💕Xxx

How absolutely darling are these faux macarons which I commissioned from the lovely Juliet @prettythingsstudio.co.uk 💕
I probably drove her mad with my perfectionism of the exact tone each colour had to be ☺️🙄💕.
However, she took it like a professional and just got on with it and here they are looking so divine and real, and I absolutely love them thank you so much lovely ☺️😘
Greengate lovers will spy some luscious products in abundance thank you #ashtonemporium 💕but we will save those for another delicious post ☺️❤️🥰
How gorgeous is this sunshine after last nights strong winds which literally snapped the head off one of my faux bay trees 😮yes really!🤦🏼♀️Hope you didn’t get any damage.
Happy Thursday lovelies 💕🤗💕😘💕🥰

This little corner is missing someone today 💕. I know they need to go to school but I am a bit sad not to have my little shadow around, constantly asking me for food ☺️💕. Are you missing yours yet or is it too soon ☺️💕
Changing the subject somewhat,💕 Thank you so so much for your wonderful and kind comments and messages on my last post 😘❤️😘
I am so overwhelmed by the love you have shown for my hair and my story, and I’ve had so many beautiful messages and comments which bought lots of very Happy tears. I also had something special happen which I will share with you soon 😘❤️😘
I read a while ago that a lovely lady was searching for her ‘tribe’ on Instagram. Well I know I’ve certainly found mine ❤️you are just the loveliest, sweetest bunch ever and I love you and your beautiful homes and thank you for being a part of, and following me, on my somewhat mad creative life of house renovations and a whole lot more ☺️💕💕💕
Happy Monday lovelies 💕💕💕😘😘😘Xxx

So I’m running to the post office the other day in the wind and rain and this lady walks past me and stops in her tracks and said “you have beautiful hair”. 💕 So I stopped and turned round studying her face to see if she ‘knew’ but she didn’t ‘know’ and I thanked her for her beautiful comment and told her I had lost my hair during chemo 18 months ago and this is how it has grown back💕I think a lot of it is down to the @johnmastersorganicsuk products I have used since then 💕
To my surprise, I get told how lovely my hair is nearly every single time I go out and it always shocks me because mostly, the wonderful kind compliments are from people that don’t know that I lost it and when I tell them how much their comment means they are amazed. If I am completely honest I felt so ugly for so long and much as it makes me so very happy to hear such compliments I just want it back to how it was, swipe to see. 💕The second photo is just as I was starting to lose huge clumps of it and there were tears behind those sunglasses but I wanted a photo before it all disappeared💕
I am ok now, and full of positivity, and I have been messaged a lot to ask if you can see the face behind the account so this ones for you Amanda @holly_lodge_home and all the other lovelies who’ve asked - better late than never💕💕💕😘😘😘

This lovely old school desk has seen a lot of action with all the homeschooling we have done 💕
I am actually nervous about my little Ruby going back to school and I will really miss her being with me 24/7 like when she was small. 💕. She has been a really good girl this time around, just getting on with her work each day and finishing by lunchtime.💕. We have only had a couple of minor issues, unlike last time which was really stressful, but then we were having to do all the teaching as well 🙄💕.
The children will be fine though and they need the social interaction too 💕
I hope the sun is shining for you today 💕Happy Sunday lovelies 💕💕💕Xxx

Happy Valentines Day lovelies 💕💕💕
May it be full of Love, Happy and Calm, unlike the past few days in my household 😮.
I’ve had the most awful week, first I was locked out of my car in a car park in the snow until help arrived. Then, I went home and was cooking dinner when Mr Chandelier slipped whilst doing some plumbing and we not only had a flood situation with water pouring through the lighting from above, onto our settee and carpet in one of our two completed rooms 😔but worse still Mr C burnt his hands and had to go to hospital 😢. Seriously, how rubbish is that, and two of my three children were seriously hard work too! 🙄💕
Anyway, in the scheme of life it’s ok, we’re all ok and tomorrow’s another day right ☺️💕
I did of course have to have some ‘therapy sessions’ in my Craftroom making lots of pretty Heart Wreaths to help with the stress of it all ☺️it had to be done didn’t it! 🥰
Happy calm Sunday my lovelies 💕💕💕Xxx

I made them in their favourite colours ☺️Which one is your favourite 💕💕💕😘

Some cute rustic little bird hooks for you today my lovelies 💕
I will put them into my Etsy shop today 💕
I don’t know about you, but I find it really tedious to put all the items that I sell online. It’s such a faff to photograph and edit, describe and list etc.,isn’t it 🙄💕I would much rather be making an Angel than be on a computer ☺️💕
Prior to lockdown, I had so many visitors to the house with all my workshops and friends and customers coming and going all the time, that so many items sold without listing which was rather fab ☺️💕
Now however, I literally have a cupboard full of items that I need to put onto Etsy and I keep finishing more for the queue 😮I would love to hire somebody for just that job but it would sadly take away the profit with the time it would take ☺️🥰
Never mind, perhaps I will do some in between cooking the Roast beefy dinner today...Hmmm...my fire is calling me...☺️💕😍
Have a calm and chilled Sunday my lovelies 💕💕💕xxx

How absolutely darling is this beautiful handmade dress that fits the Maileg ballerina cat perfectly 💕
I bought it for Ruby’s birthday and found it at a local market just before the latest lockdown. Definitely an heirloom treasure for me ☺️💕
I bought it from the sweetest old lady that makes clothes for Barbie, that also fit Maileg, and I had such a lovely chat and rummage amongst all her wonderful items. 💕
There are so many skilled people, just like us, who are mostly just hidden away making exquisite items for their ‘kitchen table’ business and I absolutely love seeking them out.💕
I am currently trying to finish renovating the smallest office on Instagram - yes really, you will laugh so much when you see it ☺️ - alongside finishing my Craftroom and En-suite. I also have a huge business renovation project which I am planning, yes I do that for a living too 😮🥰 and I need to finish my latest Valentine Hearts kits for my lovely customers 💕
Gosh, it’s exhausting just thinking about it all sometimes but I guess I had better get on with hadn’t I ☺️or I shall be in trouble ☺️.
Happy #pinkwednesday darlings ☺️😘💕💕💕Xxx

We woke up to a beautiful snow scene today 💕
It’s really quite magical and we are off to do a bit of sledging before it goes, as last time it was not deep enough and I don’t want to get in trouble with a small person ☺️💕
Did you have snow too? 💕
Happy Sunday lovelies 💕💕💕Xxx

I’m working on a Craft Kit today for some cute hanging Valentine Hearts 💕💕💕
It’s lovely to have the sun streaming in to my craftroom although it was rather cosy to have the fairy lights on and the rain beating on my sloped roof in my tiny craftroom yesterday, whilst I worked on finishing the renovation in here☺️❤️🥰
Are you making anything today? Happy Thursday lovelies 💕🌷💕🌷💕

I love my Aga ❤️ I really do, even though every time the gas bill comes in, I am reminded that we could have a yearly holiday for the amount it costs to run 🙄☺️🥰
It was the first thing we installed in our house renovation, but much as we adore it, there have been many times when we have questioned if it really earns its keep 🥰.
The food it cooks is really divine, it has to be said, although some might say it takes so long, the fact that you are starving could sway your judgement ☺️🥰
But where would I stand and lean, how else would I dry the school uniform on a Sunday evening, where would I dry all the items that I paint, especially during one of my Creative workshops and what about all the wet coats and shoes when it’s pouring with rain,🤔Hmmm...the list is endless, and once you have an Aga you never want to live without it it’s most definitely a lifestyle,🤔so I guess it stays for now ☺️❤️🥰
I have to do some really awful admin now, which I really don’t want to do, but I don’t want to start the new week with it on my list so I’m just going to get on with it. However, the fire is alight and I’m snuggled on the settee doing it so that will help. 😊
How’s your day going 💕Happy Sunday lovelies 💕💕💕Xxx

OMG😮 we have very almost finished renovating our bedroom 😮☺️💕 All we need now is the new carpet once the shops open again 🙄💕
And double OMG 😮 how absolutely divine and beautiful is this gorgeous faux reindeer hide from @coxandcox for which I asked Santa for Christmas 🥰. I’m so in Love, It’s so unbelievably realistic, swipe to see a close up of its scrumptiousness 💕💕💕
I have most definitely earned it though, as this has been by far, the worst room in the house to do. It had so many windows and doors, alongside lots of very detailed building and carpentry work.
It also had a lot of problems that needed to be resolved and the resolution always involved ludicrous amounts of work 😔
However, thankfully Mr Chandelier is a Builder and Carpenter and he’s done a beautiful job but it has taken us such a very long time. It has taken up such crazy amounts of my time as well, as I am both the designer and the decorator and both Mr C and I are perfectionists, even though we try not to be 🤦🏼♀️☺️💕
I will keep posting the different angles and work we have done and you will then understand why it has taken such a long time. It’s probably taken just under a year of doing it as and when we can and has been a real labour of love 💕💕💕
Perhaps I will post the wardrobes next ☺️.
Happy Friday lovelies 💕💕💕🙋🏼♀️Xxx

I have finished painting my bedroom chest of drawers - Yay, 🥰and after a bit of deliberation, I chose a combination of different handles, including the crowns and pink glass flowers we all loved, alongside some diamanté and mercury glass. 💕
I am so happy with how it turned out, and so is Mr Chandelier (he has really embraced the pink in this house 🥰) and it means that my bedroom is so nearly finished 😮Wow,😁all I am left with is painting a very large mirror to match the drawers. 💕
I have wanted to paint it for such a long time and it was always going to be pink and heavily distressed, but it was just getting the right pink. I used Pink Ground Estate eggshell by @farrowandball as their eggshells are very durable and hard-wearing which swung the decision really, in their favour, of that colour. 💕
The last photo is the ‘before’ both of the chest of drawers and approximately halfway through the refurbishment of this room, so it was taken amongst great chaos🙄which is out of shot.
As you can see from the ugly breeze blocks, we took a big pipe out of the ugly boxed in corner, which we removed. It made such a big difference.
This wall used to have Ikea wardrobes along it and we re-used and I transformed the ‘internals’ which I will post soon.
It was definitely the right decision to move the bed and it’s also good feng shui I believe, which is even better ☺️💕.
I have also been making some pretty decoupage office accessories this week, as a gift so I’m pleased it’s a bit warmer as I had to hand deliver them. 💕
Have you made anything this week my lovelies, hope you’re doing ok 💕💕💕
Happy #pinkwednesday lovelies ☺️💕💕💕Xxx

How adorable is this Maileg Hanging Egg Chair that I finally finished making at 10.30 last night ❤️
I used a Mache Egg which I bought @hobbycrafthq and then painted it with @frenchicpaint chic paint in Whiter than White. I then added the trimmings, cut some faux fur for the seat, added a cushion, some little beaded hearts and a tiny rose gold crown on top ❤️👑❤️
I was so excited to show Ruby as we had chosen all the trimmings and materials together, but obvs she was in bed. I knew how much she would love it, so much so that I seriously considered ‘just seeing if she was awake’ until Mr Chandelier persuaded me not to 😮☺️🥰
She did of course, absolutely adore it when I showed her this morning and I did of course, have to hang it straight after breakfast! ☺️❤️🥰
Maileg mouse however, is not quite so amused and is looking marginally irritated at how long this photo shoot is taking ☺️. She does look rather comfortable though, I would love a grown up one for me☺️❤️🥰
Happy Friday lovelies 💕💕💕Xxx

These were the last decorations to come down yesterday. They were in my bedroom either side of the bed and just before midnight last night, I ran round the house taking and laying everything down like a mad woman 😯, although Mr Chandelier would say that’s normal for me!☺️🥰
It’s funny because Mr C did roll his eyes a little and ask me why I needed holes in our just finished bedroom ceiling when I asked him to put the hooks up for me. However, when I was taking them down last night, he asked me “why can’t they stay up all year as they don’t look Christmassy”!
Hmmm...what can I say to that really, as baubles are very Christmassy ☺️. However, I have promised to do something similar for Valentines as he clearly secretly loves the styling ☺️😁😍
I am in trouble with a small person though, for not finishing a certain project although I did finish the chest of drawers so it’s not all bad ☺️❤️
Happy Wednesday lovelies, hope you’re doing better than me☺️❤️❤️❤️😘😘😘Xxx

My kitchen currently resembles a dusty paint workshop right now as I’ve been painting an old chest of drawers for the last 48 hours. 😮
I’ve used @farrowandball Pink Ground and done a heavily distressed finish. I was sanding away just before midnight last night and Mr Chandelier came down to keep me company. When I asked him what he thought he said, “it looks lovely but I don’t understand why you would pay £50 for a pot of paint and then sand it away” 😯Ooh 😯, what can I say! 😂☺️🥰
Everywhere is in a complete muddle, and I need to take down all my decorations today and finish the painting as it is very chaotic, especially when I’m cooking as it’s all over my island. 🤦🏼♀️
Oh, and I need to sort home schooling out and finish yesterday’s project as someone will not be amused...hmmm it’s going to be a long hard day I think 🤦🏼♀️
I can’t decide which handles to use what do you think?
It’s going in my bedroom and I love the pink flower handles but I’m not sure how many I have without some major rummaging ☺️. I also love the crowns but only have 4 and I do love the diamanté’s but I have them on all my wardrobes and small doors in the same room. Hmmm...perhaps I will use a combination ☺️, but I need to wait for Mr Chandelier to come home with a drill I can use first as he ‘borrowed’ my drill and then all his tools got stolen Christmas week 😒
I really hope you are doing so much better than me lovelies or you are in big trouble ☺️😘, if there is anyone out there that doesn’t have order, please let me know I’m not alone 😯☺️🥰
Happy #pinkwednesday lovelies 💕💕💕Xxx

I so wanted to make loads more of these and I bought so many materials @hobbycrafthq but there are just not enough hours in my day.
At least I made a couple 🥰 and they were such fun ❤️🥰
However, positivity and creativity as the lovely @pinkfrenchvilla said to me today, all is not lost, swipe left for today’s project ☺️hmmm...what do you think I am making today, it has nothing to do with Easter btw ☺️❤️😘Xxx

Happy New Year my lovelies ❤️
It’s time for new projects and new beginnings now. Time to take down all the decorations and create lots more corners to make us smile 😊
As most of you know, it has been the most traumatic couple of years of my life to date 😔and I love you all for your beautiful heartfelt messages and the kindness you have shown, and continue to show, with all the private and public messages ❤️❤️❤️. They really make me smile and feel very loved and I thank you from the bottom of my heart 🥰❤️😘
I can hear my beautiful niece in my subconscious mind when I am sad, when she said to me recently “positivity Auntie, not negativity” and she lost her Mum, my beautiful sister and what a wonderful example she is 🥰❤️🥰
So, onwards and upwards, I have sooo many projects both on the go and lined up for this year and I can’t wait to share them with you 🤗some of which are very exciting indeed 😮🥰.
I suppose I had better start the momentous task of taking this lot down, hmmm... I am already thinking about Valentines and Easter 😮, I know, I know I’ll be quiet now ☺️❤️❤️❤️😘😘😘

Who says it has to be a snow man when it can be a snow lady 🥰
I took this secret snap through the trellis of my little Ruby Blue telling her dolly all about her little snowlady ❤️ so adorable 😍❤️🥰
Did you have more snow than we did, as you can see there was just enough for playing with!

Click the link in my bio if you would like one, or another of my Craft Kits and then click the ‘shop’ tab then click through to my Etsy shop 💕
Well I am sad to say that these are the only Christmas decorations up so far 😮, yes I know it’s bad isn’t it but I have a had lots of orders, 28 in the last week so I’m trying not to feel like a failure. 😔
My littlest however, is not impressed at all, especially as the tree has been sitting outside the front door still in its netting for 10 days 🌲😮😮😮🎄yes, really!
I guess tomorrow is another day - I must try harder to squish more hours in ☺️
Hope your Christmas decorating is going far better than mine ❤️❤️❤️😘😘😘

Today’s messy Craftroom ☺️💕
This is what my Craftroom desk looks like every day from around mid September until January 😮☺️💕.
This is just one area, there are little Projects and Creations covering every square inch of my little Narnia Craftroom 😮☺️💕
But I do create for a living, and it is Christmas, and I am doing a whole house refurbishment, so surely allowances can be made in the tidyness department don’t you think? ☺️💕
I had almost finished my special little rooms refurbishment and then this happened...like it had anything to do with me.....hmmm... ☺️
Mr Chandelier stands at the entrance and just shakes his head in despair, 😐 I don’t think this room is going to be clear anytime soon to finish it do you? ☺️💕
Have you made anything lately? 💕💕💕Xx

So very glad we did our fireplace renovation as one of the first jobs in our house refurbishment, as we are really needing to light it daily. Just love the heat it gives off and wishing I could have one in my Craftroom as that’s where I can be found day and night at the moment making up all your lovely Craft kits and orders ☺️💕
Wishing all you lovelies you a cosy, warm and snuggly day 💕

So this is the other wreath I have for sale, which has the cutest little frosted birds, along with frosted eucalyptus, pink and white roses, a pink linen bow and some very fine sparkly wisps entwined amongst the foliage. It is £38.50 with Free UK delivery.
If you would like more info please click on my bio link above, then click on the ‘shop’ tab and then click through to my Etsy shop 💕
I have photographed it on the bedroom side of my finished en-suite door! 💕
Yes, I did say finished 😮sadly just the door, not the en-suite 😔but we are seriously getting there now and are on the home straight ☺️hmmm... watch this never ending space ☺️💕
It is absolutely freezing here, and I had to stand at the school gates delivering all my Craft kit orders to all the lovely Mummies that bought them. But I’m not complaining, because I’m very lucky to have work right now, especially work that I love with a passion. It is unlikely my creations will make me rich with money, but I am definitely rich with love for my work and that means more to me now than when I was younger, and had very high paid jobs ☺️💕
Have a lovely weekend my lovelies and keep warm and cosy 💕💕💕Xxx

It’s all about the wonderful world of Maileg today 💕
I have had this most adorable @mailegworld advent calendar for over 10 years now and those cute little advent doors are still making us smile every Christmas, all these years later ☺️💕
I have been collecting Maileg for around 15 years and these lovely scaffold board shelves are for special toys just like that 💕
The gorgeous soldiers are part of a Maileg soldier skittles set and can you spot the sweet brown bear and the knitted soldier, they are all Maileg too. 💕
Although it is expensive, everything is beautifully made with high quality materials and it really is one of the most delightful brands I have ever come across. 💕
My children have all had them as Birthday and Christmas presents for many years and they will all very much become treasured inheritance toys. I even built them all a house, which resides in Ruby Blue’s room☺️💕
I have yet to come across anyone who doesn’t love it,☺️ do you have any Maileg? 💕
It’s freezing here today and I am very grateful for our renovated fireplace and double sided woodburning stove 💕
I do so hope you are keeping warm lovelies, have a lovely evening 💕💕💕Xxx

How many lantern houses is too many lantern houses 🤷♀️💕
I keep looking at them on all these beautiful online shop feeds and wanting to buy more. However, I have them here in my lounge, which I will move into the kitchen for Christmas. I also have 3 of them on the landing and 2 more in my hallway 😮
Ok ok, when I count and say it out loud it does sound like a lot but I just love them so much and I think they look fab and magical, especially when lit ☺️. How many do you have?
By the way, don’t you just love how the picture on the wall fits in with the decor ☺️. It was made by my 9 year old last year on the computer at school. She thought of it and created it completely on her own - they were all different and they framed them and sold them to raise money. Such a lovely idea 💕
I am feeling a bit sad the last couple of days, not sure why but I think a bit of everything probably. I hope you are all doing ok. I am going to do some crafting now and make up a load of kits I have sold so that will make me smile 😊
Happy Wednesday lovelies 😘😘😘❤️❤️

Morning lovelies, these Shabby chic hooks are for sale and have just gone into my Etsy shop. 💕
They are £28 including Free UK postage and if you would like more photos and info then please click on my bio above, then click the ‘shop’ link then click through to my Etsy shop 💕
I am like a little Santa elf at the moment and am constantly crafting and making like there’s no tomorrow.
I feel as if I have been set free right now, and I’m loving shutting myself away in my little craftroom creating lots of magic and sparkle ☺️💕
I am finding it very therapeutic to work with such beautiful materials to produce pretty things. I think everyone should create if they can, especially right now with the world in turmoil 🤔as it’s very distracting and you most definitely get lost for a while in a little creative bubble.
Have a lovely day 💕💕💕Xxx

I absolutely adore this corner of Ruby’s room as this is where all the bunnies, dolls and teddies have tea and get put to bed 💕
We have had so many wonderful stories and much fun in that tent, and it is quite magical at night with all the fairy lights on. It was my older daughters originally and I will most definitely be keeping it as an inheritance toy...although I am tempted to put it in my room when Ruby grows out of it...seriously, I would love to hide in there quite often ☺️❤️🥰
I hope you are doing ok at the start of this next lockdown. I am always up for a chat...Mr Chandelier says I talk far too much, I don’t know what he means 🤔, really, but it’s good to talk 😉💕
Have a fab day lovelies 💕💕💕Xxx

It’s all about horses today ☺️...this cute Maileg one and these sweet little children’s coat hangers which I have finally finished and put into my Etsy shop today 💕
These are my last two at present, and they come as a set of 2 for £20 for both of them, gift wrapped and Free UK postage 💕
If you would like more info, click on my bio above and then click on the ‘shop’ tab and then click to go through to my Etsy shop 💕
I have so many half finished projects and it’s lovely that I am starting to finish them all. Do you do that, start lots of different projects and then have utter chaos ☺️🥰
I think it’s because I buy such a lot of craft materials and when I bring them home, I am so excited to play with them that another project begins that very second that I take them into my craftroom and I start pulling loads more materials out.
Unfortunately, it’s usually interrupted by having to cook dinner or something equally as boring and so even more chaos ensues ☺️❤️🥰
Happy Wednesday lovelies, pink or otherwise 💕well I had to get some #pinklove in somewhere didn’t I ☺️🥰❤️😘

So I have been making some Halloween garlands both for us, and to send to my eldest daughter at Uni and for my nieces and nephew ☺️.
I don’t really do much in the way of Halloween decor because it’s not really pretty enough for me ☺️.
However, I thought if I added a bit of pink linen and white glitter then it could earn a place on display ☺️💕
I can’t believe half term is nearly over, and that can only mean one thing...we are heading full on into Christmas 😮😉☺️🥰
Happy Friday night lovelies ❤️❤️❤️Xx

First of all, thank you all so so much for the love and kindness and your beautiful heartfelt comments on my last post. It was truly heartwarming to receive such love and support from all of you ❤️❤️❤️
I have been doing a lot of creating for my friends lately who have, as usual, been extremely kind and given me so much love 💕
It has been very therapeutic to make for them without any time constraints, choosing colours that I know they love, struggling not to add pink if they don’t have that same #pinklove ☺️ and smiling when I find that special flower or material that I know and hope will make them gasp, picturing their faces when they unwrap the baby pink tissue paper and they see it for the first time 🥰
They never expect it and that’s what makes it even lovelier isn’t it. Don’t you just love giving and making someone smile, you can’t beat it can you, especially when they know you have put so much love into it 💕
I have lots more to make for them all 💕but I have so much work on now as Christmas is my busiest season so I think they may all just have to get them as extra special Christmas presents 🥰
The twig wreath base is from @theworksstores and some of the flowers are from @hobbycrafthq both of which are like therapy stores to me ☺️❤️🥰

Warning 😔 very sad post below 😢
At the start of the summer holidays, I had a beautiful Brother and a beautiful Sister who very both very special to me 💕. Now I have neither.
My sister suddenly lost a lot of weight and went to the doctors to have a blood test. It was discovered she had an aggressive cancer and within 8 weeks she had passed away.
Two weeks later, my brother had a heart attack, went into a coma and then passed away the next day.
Whilst all this was going on, I was having a biopsy for cancer, as the tablet my doctor had put me on after recovering from breast cancer last year, is known for causing cancer elsewhere in the body. Yes I know, crazy isn’t it. By the way, my instinct told me very, very strongly not to take it. Thankfully, this time it was clear, but had I not jumped on a symptom straight away it could have been a very different story. Last time I left it for some months before getting checked out.
I wouldn’t normally post such deeply private and devastating news, but I really wanted to reach out because both my sister and I, didn’t go to the doctors straight away, even though our instinct told both of us there was something wrong. So if this post helps or saves just one person’s life then that’s an amazing special thing.
So if anyone reading this is, like my sister and I, scared to go to the doctors for fear of the worst, please please go as my sister may still be here and I would not have needed chemo and radiotherapy.
If you want to reach out I will be here, you can private message me if you would like and I will do my best to give you strength and some love to go and seek help ❤️.
To anyone going through cancer right now, I found the book Radical Remissions, which I discovered on here @radicalremission to be the most incredible source of strength for me personally.
And for all those beautiful people who follow me and I interact with, I am so sorry to have stopped posting and commenting on your wonderful posts. I have really missed you and I look forward to catching up with you again. So much love to you all ❤️❤️❤️Xx

This is our teeny tiny alleyway of a garden, swipe to see the before 💕
As you can see, it was just a very ugly, narrow strip of wasteland that we weren’t sure what to do with until I saw a beautiful pink porch swing on Pinterest. 💕
My mind was made up, I wanted a pink swing too 🥰.
So, we sourced this beautiful quality @alexander.rose.furniture swing seat from EBay for just £38 as it was damaged. We then repaired it and built a small pergola to fit the space, put fencing up for privacy, built a load of log roll flowerbeds (see last photo), filled the beds with baby pink roses and pretty flowers and put some slate chippings down 💕
Now, we have the most wonderful, albeit tiny, space where we can sit and catch the evening sun, see the village church in the distance and listen to the sheep 💕
I truly believe that any space can be made into something wonderful, no matter how small. Sometimes, small is better as you can really focus on the details so don’t despair if you only have a teeny tiny garden, just dream big ☺️💕🥰
Have a fab weekend lovelies 💕💕xx
