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...
Hi All! Remember my last MMMay14 Round-Up, the one where I said that I was going to be more on top of this whole picture taking and uploading thing? I lied. Well, I suppose it is always better late than never! And here is my Week 4 Round-Up! DAY 18 This was the Sunday...
Hi All! I'm back with another sewing project, and this is one that my mom made me! You got a sneak peak of it last Saturday when I included it in my #MMMay14 Week 3 Round-Up- but here it is in full detail! A lovely nightie (with matching sleep mask of course)! Made...
Hi All, Since I've been spending all my time on bra-making these past weeks, I've been thinking more about quick dinners and the dinners that I make when I'm a little short on time and still want something tasty and healthy. I think this is one of my main go-to meals...
Hi All! Here is my week 3 round-up of me-makes, and this was a really busy week for me- so busy that *confession time* I staged these pictures (except for the first day and the last) because I forgot to take the pictures everyday.. I know shame on me- but I promise...
Hi All, Today I took Beverly's class on Coverstitch machines! - I had never used a coverstitch machine before this, so everything was really new to me- and I have to say- wow- if I could even afford to have a wish-list with things this expensive, a coverstitch would...
Hi All! Week 2 of MMMay was a very busy week for me! It was filled with lots of bra-making, lots of driving and best of all lots of mom & me time! And this is what I wore for my busy week! DAY 4 A Lazy Sunday spent packing with my mom...
Hi All! This supper sunday I have a BBQ treat! I LOVE salmon, especially from the BBQ in the spring/summer. I knew it was time for this recipe when I went out into the garden and our garlic chives had come up! This is a heavily modified recipe from the WEBER Real...
Hi All, I am so excited to be participating in Me-Made-May this year! And this is my first weekly round-up of outfits! It is a short week, as May only started on Thursday- but here are my first three days of MMMay! Day 1 Taking Fin out for a walk with mom- it...
Hi All! Today's Throwback Thursday is one of my first successful projects- and my first vintage pattern make! I made this dress when I was 16, so almost seven years ago now *cries silently*, and this is a picture of me wearing it when I just turned 18. (There...
Hi All, I do realize it has been a while for Wellness Wednesday, but here I am -back at it- and what I wanted to share with you today is a super healthy lunch that I have been obsessed with lately! I call this 'The Bev Sandwich' because when my parents went down to...
Hi All, I thought I would share a little bit of what I did this weekend! I had a fun weekend with my sister and friends in Toronto. First thing on Friday was the Creativ Festival! Where my sister and I met up with my friend Claire. We all had fun looking at mostly the...
Hi All! This Throwback Thursday I wanted to share something that I did in my third year of University: Vogue Charity Fashion Show (VCFS), which, as you can imagine from the name, is a charity fashion show hosted by a university club. I'm going to warn you right now-...
Hi All! Supper Sunday again- and this one is a tried-and-true favourite! I LOVE this, and it is great crowd pleaser. I think of it as a more posh lasagna to feed a crowd - because you can be all "shells stuffed with artichoke hearts and ricotta". lol The original...
Hi All! This Throwback Thursday, I have a slightly more recent project than last week's TBT , but this was also a project made for me by my lovely mom 🙂 And it is this coat, made from McCall's M5513 about 5 years ago: I consider this my more 'dressed up' winter...
Hi All, This is going to be a bit of a random post today- but I thought I would show you my dogs new hair cut- curtsey of the Erin&Mom dog salon. You may have seen my dog, Finn, featured in some of my past pics- he is a fluffy little white bichon frise-...
Hi All, I know I have been terrible with Supper Sunday's - I've missed two in a row- there has just been so much going on! But here I return- and with a pork roast! Now you may notice that this recipe is remarkably similar to the lamb recipe I posted in...
Hi All, I'm no longer on dog sitting duty since my parents have returned from the sunny California! And of course with them they brought me some lovely gifts: A little clutch wallet, matching panties, california dates, and -drumroll- the new american BurdaStyle...
Hi All, So I thought I would start a new thing- TBT (throwback-thursday, for those not in the know), where I will show you a sewing project from my pre-blog days. I'm thinking that quite a few of these will be made by my mom, since she has made me so many lovely...
Hi All! As promised here is my latest sewing project! It all started when I received these two items in the mail- which I ordered online after creeping every blogger who has ever sewn drape drape and swooning for hours... as you can see they are already littered with...
Hi All! You might notice that I have a new button in my side bar- and that is the Me-Made-May 2014 button! If you don't already know Me-Made-May is a challenge hosted by Zoe of the blog sozowhatdoyouknow.blogspot.co.uk to wear as many of your home-made...
