Okay, picture this: it’s strawberry season, the sun is finally out for more than seven seconds a day, and everyone is out there making jam, smoothies, or very questionable TikTok desserts. Meanwhile, me? I’m staring at a plastic bottle thinking, “Yep, this needs to become a giant strawberry.” Because nothing says “embrace the season” quite... 

Yes, I made a rustic wooden vase from a log and a few old jars. No, it wasn’t hard. Yes, it’s adorable. So here’s the deal. My garden roses are blooming like they’re getting paid for it. I snip a few every morning to put on the terrace table, but they’ve got teeny-tiny stems. Regular... 

Yes, they’re cement. Yes, they’re mushrooms. And yes, they came out cuter than I expected. This whole thing started with me standing in the garden, holding a cup of coffee and thinking, “This space needs something… weird. Something fun.” I didn’t want another planter or a solar light shaped like a pillow. I wanted mushrooms.... 

Ever wondered what happens when you mix dog food, a canvas, and zero shame? You get wall-worthy art… sort of. So here’s the thing.

Every year, summer rolls in with birds chirping, tea clinking, and… mosquitoes dive-bombing my ankles like it’s their job. We love spending warm evenings outside—board games on the terrace, dog sniffing around, kids zooming past barefoot. And then BAM. One whiff of skin and the mosquitoes invite their entire extended family. We’ve been using those... 

So, I did a thing. I turned my corgi into an artist. Not in the “dog-puts-on-glasses-and-paints-a-landscape” kind of way, but more like “here’s some non-toxic paint, let’s see what happens.” I’ve always been a sucker for sentimental crafts, and this time I wanted something extra ridiculous and heart-melting for my wall.
