As a young child, I always had a creative passion for arts and crafts. The funny thing is I never realised it growing up; it just was how things were. I always made useful and creative things from scratch and really enjoyed painting. My own journey officially started when my husband and I purchased our first home. Then lockdown happened… It allowed my passion to grow as I was then cooped up at home so I found myself finally having a little time to indulge my design interest on the side. I immediately tackled the nursery (having a new born during Covid is hectic) as well as a Big Boy Room for my 4-year-old son. I must admit though that it took way longer than anticipated.

I slowly started my power tool collection which was liberating to finally be able to create things properly myself and to see how the ideas that had been in my head could manifest in reality.

If something I post or create can bring inspiration or help someone else to discover their interest or make something they want into reality, then I feel like my work has purpose and I have been able to give back a little of what I have received.

DIY Mom Tip

As a mom of two boys at home, no matter what anyone says, time management is unpredictable. If they are old enough, let the kids help! It keeps them busy while you are busy. Allow them to feel helpful and know that they are doing something important (even if you just pretend to give them an ‘important task’ to help you finish).
