Paper flowers seem to be blooming all over the place, so I just had to make my first bouquet for this DIY paper flower card for Mum this Mother’s Day! This special Sunday in May ensures cafes across the country are packed to the rafters + breakfast trays are dusted off for the important morning duties. For me, Mother’s Day is special because… Read More
I have been lusting after gallery walls for a really, really, really long time (as mentioned in this post), and I’m so excited I’ve finally got around to doing one! It was so much easier to do than I thought it would be, and makes this otherwise awkward wall into a bit of a wow space – which is perfect,… Read More
There’s something magical about the start of winter. The sunlight gets more moody + twinkly. The mornings feel fresher. Our homes feel cosier + smell better + excite the senses with crackling fires and glowing candles and fluffy rugs underfoot. If you’re struggling to say goodbye to the hot summer days as winter draws near, here’s some seriously good reasons… Read More
![The 5 minute masterpiece [+ how to do your own!]](https://flickerandflock.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/The-5-min-masterpiece_thumbnail-450x260.jpg)
I have a terrible confession. It’s April, and I’ve had Christmas artwork hanging in our hallway since last December. For someone who is super-organised, this does not sit well with me. My excuse?

I loved reading + imagining + writing my own stories. This love of books – the flicking up of a paper corner between finger and… Read More
My daughter is a little magpie at heart; a lover of all things sparkly + shiny + glam. She also loves to organise, sort + rearrange; open, shut, lock, pull-out, stuff, empty + rearrange [again] any little space or cubby or drawer that she calls her own. What better way to celebrate these personality traits than to create a mini dressing… Read More
Easter is always a generous time of year. We get a four day holiday, more chocolate than we know what to do with, plus it’s the perfect excuse to make pretty bits and pieces like these decorative Easter eggs and the easy make-it-yourself Easter basket I’m about to show you. This year I’ve also decided to craft an Easter egg hunt… Read More
If you’re thinking about adding a little Easter bling to your mantel next weekend, these make-it-yourself decorative Easter eggs could be just the thing! I was actually searching for James Bond-theme props (don’t ask!) in my local Looksharp Store, when I spotted a bag of polystyrene eggs for just $2 and I knew immediately I could turn them into something… Read More

I don’t know about you, but it seems to be baby season within our gaggle of family + friends at the moment! The “absolutely essential” first reaction to a pregnancy or new baby announcement is a champagne toast (as if we need an excuse!), but I also love to send a congratulations card to the new parents (or soon-to-be-parents as the case may… Read More
