Hi All, This Wednesday I thought the topic of friendship and spending time with best friends was important- so I thought I would share my visit with one of my best friends Claire. Claire and I met just over two years ago now as co-workers in a summer student research...
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....
Hi All! A couple weeks ago I did a post about strawberry picking, well now it's time for blueberries- which I have to say I love picking even more than strawberries. 🙂 The berries are SO GOOD this year!! They're jumbo sized! and super sweet and flavourful! So...
Hi All! Yesterday all the Bra-makers ladies piled in a car and headed up to New Hamburg for our work social. What is in New Hamburg you may ask? Only the most amazing antique sewing machine collection you have ever seen! We were greeted right away by Carl and his...
Hi All! Today for throwback thursday I have a little sleep set I made for my sister a couple years ago. The top is the free Sorbetto top pattern, and the bottoms were a pair of pj shorts that I cloned. Super comfy, super simple, super sweet! I made it out of...
Hi All, Mom made some shorts!! Super cute little bike shorts in a nautical fabric. And they fit really well too- she even wore them in a sailing race! - shorts selfie! Mom used the Jalie leggings pattern, and some of the nautical swimwear fabric I bought at Ann's back...
Hi All, I won't waste time talking about my hiatus through July, other than to say that I've been working on a very exciting project - hint hint!! But today I have a special supper Sunday - a supper from the garden- my mom's garden that has been amazing this summer!...
Hi All, This post is going to be about one of my absolute favourite early-summer activities: Strawberry Picking!!! I decided to make this a Wellness Wednesday post because I believe that it contributes greatly to my wellness! What could be more health promoting than...
Hi All, I thought I would call this Sunday "Summer Sides Sunday", a name created most ingeniously by my mom for all of these side-dish posts that I've been doing. And I figured that after a winter of soups and roasts that I haven't really shown you much of all the...
Hi All, So if you didn't know, I joined the Vintage Playsuit Sew-a-Long, which is a sew-a-long hosted in the month of June by Girl with the Star Spangled Heart. It's a very open sew-a-long in a 'chose your own adventure' style, where everyone picks their own pattern...
Hi All, I just realized that this is an extremely long over-due post. If you've been over on Beverly's blog, or if you have recently checked out my sidebar, you may have noticed a couple shiny new buttons! How COOL are these!! Beverly designed them and I turned them...
Hi All, Today is a Mom Monday, meaning that I have a project from my mom! This one was pretty simple- an applique project on an old sweater that had a stain. You know when you have an old sweater that you like and that has potential, but it's a bit boring and has a...
Hi All, I thought I would continue the trend from last Sunday and show you another salad. This salad is a summer staple in my house, and there is usually a batch of it kicking around in the fridge at all times for lunches or to serve with dinner. It's super simple to...
Hi All! So as promised here is my new hair! Blonde Ombre! It's not quite as dramatic as some of you might have expected from this sneak peak I put out on Monday. :p I didn't go the full blonde! - Just the tips! I have always really liked the look of ombre or dip/dyed...
Hi All!! I'm super excited because today is my BIRTHDAY!! YAY I'm 23!!- so about halfway to becoming the crazy cat lady I am destined to be! I also wanted to say sorry for my entire lack of posting last week! Things have just been really crazy busy, with friends,...
Hi All, It occurred to me this Sunday that so many of my dinners in the past I say "and serve with a nice side salad", but I've never talked about what salad I serve. I actually eat salad almost every night, and it isn't always the same salad- there are slight...
Hi All! It's the end of #MMMay14, I can't believe just how fast this month went by! I think I want to make this a bit of a staple, maybe not outfits everyday but perhaps a me-made outfit of the week- My-Look Monday? maybe 🙂 on with the looks! DAY 25 On Sunday I...
Hi All! I have something new and exciting for my blog! A light box! You know those amazing, bright, no-shadow, cool background pictures that you see on other blogs? Well I can do that too!! I got the idea from my friend Claire, who asked me how I took my pictures for...
Hi All! Today I have a guest post for Wellness Wednesday- my guest being my mom! She read this book back a couple of months ago and has been raving about it ever since! So here is her report! Jumpstart Your Metabolism by: Pam Grout "Oxygen- contracts our muscles,...
Hi All! Two posts in one day- check me out! Today I'm going to share this lovely and seasonal drink recipe that I just came up with, that I so originally called Rhubarb Ginger Gin Fizz! The first step to making this drink is gathering and stewing your rhubarb. This is...
