If you're looking for a positive and newly crafty way to improve your outlook on your life then you could use a 'Good Things' jar
I originally saw this idea on Pinterest, and thought that it was such a great thing to begin in January and all you need is a jar!
Everytime something good happens to you (little or big!) write it on a note, and put it in your jar!
I can't wait to see at the end of the year all the great and wonderful and good things that have happened to me and to reflect on them, let me know if you're trying this too!

it goes on and on and on and on!
This day in England is Mothers day, or Mothering Sunday.
A day to cherish our mothers, but remember- you don't need a special day to cherish your mother, they're beautiful diamonds in our hearts that should be admired always!
Maybe things with your mum aren't so peachy, maybe you have an Aunt, Grandma, Sister or friend that has been a mother instead! Let them know how thankful you are to have had them when it felt like we had no one.
Mothers treasure kind words more than fancy presents, a home made card says so much more than a shop bought one- everyone will tell you that, not just mums!
If you want to get your mama a little something but are out of cash or time , watch my 2 minute video on how to make a foam boquet of roses.
All you need is:
Foam (colour for the flowers, and green for the leaves)
Scissors
Pipe cleaners
What you don't need:
Glue
£$£ a lot of money!$£$
a creative 'flair'
1. Cut out a strip of foam and keep one edge of the strip with a straight cut edge, make the other side kind of wavy to look like petals
2. Cut out a doughnut shape foam (circle with a hole in the middle) and cut the edges kind of wavy, so they look petal-like
3. Take a green pipecleaner (this is your stalk) poke it through one side of the jagged strip and wrap the strip up tightly, secure it in place with the doughnut shaped part pushed up and over the rolled up strip
4. Cut out a leaf shape (2 per flower should be enough)
5. Poke the leaves through either end of another green pipe cleaner
6. Wrap this around the stalk pipecleaner (the one attatched to the petals)
7. Gift it to someone, or keep them for yourself, on your jewelerry table, dresser, window ledge, wherever!
Happy Mothers day to everyone!

Mothers day! Time is running out...
Friday, 16 March 2012
So Mothers day is this weekend and you just glanced into your purse and moths fly out.I know the feeling
We have all been there!
Never fear, I have a crafty project in order-
If you're real crafty, you can make it all yourself! (I wish I had, but I didn't realise they'd be so darn simple)
If you've got less time and a budget of a grand total of £2, then mosey on over to Morrisons and pick up the kit for £2 in the crafts section:
Here's the super quick video, to show you how I did it!
Instructions are as follows:
1. Cut out a strip of foam and keep one edge of the strip with a straight cut edge, make the other side kind of wavy to look like petals
2. Cut out a doughnut shape foam (circle with a hole in the middle) and cut the edges kind of wavy, so they look petal-like
3. Take a green pipecleaner (this is your stalk) poke it through one side of the jagged strip and wrap the strip up tightly, secure it in place with the doughnut shaped part pushed up and over the rolled up strip
4. Cut out a leaf shape (2 per flower should be enough)
5. Poke the leaves through either end of another green pipe cleaner
6. Wrap this around the stalk pipecleaner (the one attatched to the petals)
7. Gift it to someone, or keep them for yourself, on your jewelerry table, dresser, window ledge, wherever!
Top tips:
About six flowers makes a nice boquet
You can add glitter if that's your mamas thang'
you can present them in a little wicker-spring time basket (available from florists)
You can spray them with perfume so they're scented like flowers!
If your mum asks why they're not real you can be real slick and say:
''Because, like my love for you- these flowers will never die''
Happy crafting!
