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.

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!
