July In Pictures

It has been a busy month! Here's what we've been up to...

Enjoying a walk and a pose at Corstorphine Hill

Polly Pocket

There are dozens of brilliant DIY and craft blogs on the internet bursting with fun, useful and inspiring projects. We loved Cathe Holden's quirky notebook idea (www.justsomethingimade.com) and decided to give it a go for our very first Make Do And Mend post. It's a great way to adapt a normal notebook but would also work well on old books.

When visiting the bright lights of London, there are so many sights on the city's skyline that you could be forgiven for forgetting to look down. But next time you visit the big smoke make sure to check your feet - because the Little People are everywhere.

All That Glitters...

Add a little sparkle to your Monday morning with our latest DIY manicure. This is great fun and means you can coordinate a quirky, stylish nail varnish to any outfit.

Pasta Paradise

We've been hiding indoors this week to escape the stormy weather and decided to share with you one of our favourite rainy day recipes. Whether you've had a busy day at work, feel exhausted from the gym or you just can't be bothered cooking up a storm in the kitchen, a quick and easy pasta dish is always a winner.

Happy Fourth of July

Wishing everyone in the United States and Americans across the world a very happy Independence Day!

If you've ever visited New York, either in reality or in the movies, you're going to love this. I LEGO N.Y. is an imaginative look at life in NYC, cleverly constructed entirely out of Lego.
