In the cold harsh Canadian winter- there is nothing better than a cozy beanie to keep your head warm- and as an avid crocheter, I find many crochet hats very inadequate. They can be lovely and pretty with lacy stitches- but often, when it comes down to wearing them...
Mmmmm, I have to say that of all the soups, this one is my favourite. It is so tasty, warming, and filling- and full of one of my favourite and least glamorous foods- beans. I just love beans, the taste and the texture, and they are the main ingredient in this...
Hi All, this Soup Sunday I have a bit of a different soup, something that I had never made before but I really enjoyed!- Wonton Soup Now I would say that this soup is more of an appetizer soup, as there aren't very many veggies involved, and fairly small servings of...
This weekend I got into the Christmas spirit!- and I started off with some felt ornaments- aren't homemade decorations just the best! I love making these, sitting watching a favourite movie and doing all the little stitches- placing the beads and laying it all...
Only my third Sunday into Soup Sunday and I have already failed. No soup and dunkable companion this week, this week is Lasagna Monday (notice my post title rhymes- I'm just that cool). But really- what's a girl to do when she is craving some cheezy delicious...
I must apologize, I have been very late with this post, and I finished this project a little while ago. In fact you have already seen two sneak peaks of this project in my past posts! (from my sewing room tour) (from my Boretski Gallery post) So I am finally...
This Soup Sunday is a classic soup, one of the heartiest, tastiest and warming soups of all- Vegetable Beef-, with one of the tastiest dunkable companions- the cheddar biscuit. This soup should almost be named the 'anything and everything' soup because you can put...
Around this time every year, if I am attentive enough, I will remember to start the best 30 day process -the process of friendship cake. Friendship cake is one of my grandma's recipes. It takes 30 days to make, and it is usually started in late November so that it can...
Finally a fashion sewing post!- and I think this is definitely one of the more interesting and cool things I've made. I was looking through all my patterns, trying to decide what I should make, and I came across one of my older Burda World of Fashion magazines (one of...
This past weekend, hanging at home with mom, we decided to do a little shopping at my favourite place, Boretski Gallery. It is a little shop in downtown Belleville, close to my hometown, that deals in everything vintage and fabulous. I don't know if I have yet shared...
I was at home this weekend, enjoying the wonderful chill of fall, and one thing that made my weekend just that much better was a lovely bowl of homemade soup. There really is nothing better than homemade soup, especially when it is fall, when your mom made it, and...

Hello- So I know I promised a fashion sewing post... and I do have 3 of them planned out, it has just been really dark and dreary lately and not so good for taking pictures of the things I have made. So instead, I will fill this gap with the CUTEST craft project...
A couple of weekends ago, my sister and I went to the Creativ Festival in Toronto- a convention of sorts for all things creative including: sewing, quilting, beading, knitting/crochet.. etc. As much as I do love all things sewing, I was completely side-tracked by all...
So now that Halloween is over, and the long winter is ahead, I have decided to prepare for my inevitable hibernation (not wanting to leave my bed ever) by making myself a new duvet cover. My old duvet cover had a pretty flower print on a white background, but was...
♫ It's the most wonderful time of the year ♫- yes Halloween! As both a sewing and Halloween fanatic, I can declare that this is indeed the most wonderful time of the year, a time of year where you can dress up however you want, in whatever costume, and you...
Here it is! , as promised, this post is going to be about those fabulous curtains/window-coverings that I showed in my sewing room tour. These were made with the help of my mom, who is a little more experienced at sewing household-y things than I am. So after...
With my first post I thought I would show off my new sewing room. After recently moving into a new apartment with my sister I finally have a sewing room! It is so nice to have my own little space where I can have my machines set up and ready for whenever I am!...
