Hi All!! Can you believe it's only a week until the start of Bra-A-Week?! I'm SO EXCITED by all the response that I'm getting to this Bra-A-Week Challenge! and since there has been so much response I decided to make a Flickr group and a group Pinterest board to better...
Hi All! Today I have a really simple and quick Tipsy Tuesday DIY! If you are anything like my family and wine- you may also have a stash of corks somewhere in your house. If you are one of those people who doesn't hoard everything and throws your corks away after the...
Hi All! Can you believe that it's 2015?! How crazy is that! This year I have one main resolution- and it is pretty specific: I want to make one bra every week. Now, in the hopes of actually achieving this, I have thought this out a little more. FIRSTLY: I will only be...
Hi All! I have a new Tipsy Topic! Trinkets- specifically wine charms! You know when you're at a nice party drinking wine, and you set your glass down to go to the bathroom, and when you come back there are 2 more wine glasses on the table that could be yours? Well...
Hi All! So close to Christmas! Can't believe it's only 4 more sleeps! I thought I would share one of the gifts I made this year! For my wonderful friend Kaitlyn 🙂 I had my friend Cael (expert of all homemade bath products) come over and help me put these all...

Hi All! Today I wanted to do something different and show you a little hometown hidden gem- and no- Hamilton, Ontario is not actually my hometown, but it is the town that I call home now! And I've definitely found a gem! - my new favourite little cafe called 'the...
Hi All! It's time again for a Tipsy Tuesday. With this one I'm clinging to the last bit of Fall that I can manage to hold onto- and I'm doing that with a Pumpkin Spice Martini- because really, how much more fall can it get than anything pumpkin spice? This is a...
Hi All! I hope you're all getting into the fall spirit! I have been soaking in the cool evenings and colourful changing leaves- I forgot how much I love fall. One of those fall experiences that I have been definitely been taking advantage of is apple picking. And the...
Hi All! Today I have something really cool for Throwback Thursday! Instead of a throwback to a project that I've sewn, I want to show you a throwback WAY further in time! I've been sitting in on a couple classes at Bra-Maker's Supply and in one of the classes we did a...
Hi All, Last weekend one of my best friends Kaitlyn invited me out to go hiking. I got up at the 'Sunday crack of dawn' (8 am) and headed over to meet her at the trail for 9:15. It couldn't have possibly been a more beautiful, sunny, crisp and just overall glorious...
Hi All! So the big reveal! My corset! I wanted to split my corset posts into these two posts because: 1. there was WAY too much information on making the corset for one post, and 2. Because I wanted to highlight my friend who is an up-and-coming boudoir...

Hi All! Today I have a guest post from my sister- who made some Crabapple Liqueur!! --- I first tried this liqueur at the farm (Mom’s friend’s farm where she keeps her garden) not sure what to expect, but it turned out to be a sweet-tart treat! I couldn’t believe it...
Hi All, This Monday mom surprised me by cloning one of my favourites- a pair of undies! I've had these undies for a while and I love them, super comfy boy short style, and with the lace edge leg they're great for having a smooth edge that doesn't show through clothes....
