Pancakes = Delicious

Growing up my Mom used to make 'egg pancakes' on special mornings. Waking up to a delicious crepe like pancake smothered in butter and dripping with maple syrup is a delicious way to start any morning. The thinner batter than regular fluffy pancakes also makes it the perfect medium to create shapes and creatures of any kind. Hence the makeshift dinosaur creatures I threw down in the pan this past weekend.

Mom's Egg Pancakes

2 Eggs
2/3 Cup Milk
1 Tbsp Sugar
Pinch of Salt
Enough Flour to make batter the consistency of cake batter.

Slow down and smell the Tulips

Living in a climate that often provides at least four months of blowing and snowing cold, can leave a girl feeling a bit drab by the time the third month rolls around. In an effort to pretend spring is just around the corner I picked up some stunning little tulips.

Do you remember puff paints?

After struggling to find cute dinosaur t-shirts for my son, I decided to put a little something together with a classic- puff paint.

Shadow Box Metals

While cleaning out an antique side table my husband and I inherited, I came across three military metals that once belonged to my husband's great uncle. Too gorgeous to pack away, I knew I had to find a way to display them. I purchased three shadow boxes from Dollarama and a mens long-sleeved military-inspired shirt. Using the material from the shirt, I covered the backing of the frame and the mat using a glue gun. I then attached the ribbon from each metal to the covered backing. Take a look...

Cafe au Monthly

My absolute favorite coffee Transcend has come up with a coffee subscription. A different pound of coffee is sent each month. Mmmmm... I can almost taste the perfectly roasted selection now. 

$125 for a six month subscription (includes shipping anywhere in Canada)

Stegloar!

A dinosaur obsessed two year old inspired me to dust off my sewing machine this morning. A few alterations to a stuffed pig pattern, scrap fleece and yarn came together to spawn this stuffed Stegosaurus. ROAR!

Show off!

I often indulge in gardening experiments, crafting days, bakeathons, elaborate recipes, and fashion tests. This blog will be a place for me to show off my little projects. Enjoy!
