What makes for a creative birthday party idea? Trying something new! Anybody who knows me knows I’m always up for trying a new craft. In the last few years, macramé has made a comeback, so it automatically piqued my interest. Then, a friend I knew back home, Natalie Renae, published a macramé how-to book called […]

There’s nothing more cozy and homey than a Christmas tree covered in handmade ornaments. Christmas is one of my favourite times of year – not for the gifts; that’s actually my least favourite part. Rather, I adore the homeyness a Christmas tree brings to a space. Twinkle lights are also my jam. I have the […]

Looking to implement a cash budget? Try making these adorable DIY reusable cash budget envelopes. A couple of years back I attended Financial Peace University at my church back home. It was a life-changing 10-week eye-opener to money. I’ve still struggled with budgets and money management since acquiring all that knowledge, but I’m determined to […]

Have you ever been to a Paint Nite?! Let me tell you – they’re such a unique, fun, and crafty night out! I had heard about them before but never had the opportunity to attend one. Until my friend Chelsey invited me to one tonight! It was hosted at the Cheesecake Cafe, which is an […]

This year halloween was a total bust, but we did make super cute DIY Halloween treat bags to try and save the holiday. I’ll be honest though, I didn’t dress up. We didn’t even carve pumpkins. I asked, but my sister said no. Apparently they were rotting already. Unfortunate. These super adorable little candy bags […]

Looking for how to keep in touch with your friends when you’re all going in separate directions? Start a traveling notebook! My excitement for the project is through the roof. The last year has brought so many changes. One of my best friends moved across the pond to England, I moved across the country to […]

These eco-friendly reusable cotton makeup remover pads are a great alternative to disposable ones. My sister decided to go the cloth diaper route with Baby A. Since that decision, we’ve been trying to see how many things we can find a cloth alternate for. We’ve made the diapers, the diaper liners, the diaper inserts, baby […]

This weekend I trekked to Banff with my family. It’s about 4 hours away from Edmonton, so a pretty good chunk of time in the car…. perfect opportunity to make another one of these cute little bunnies. Crocheting in the car made the road trip go by so much faster. Thankfully, I don’t typically get […]

I am far from good at sewing. My mom once made my sister’s grade eight graduation dress. I stood in awe at the fact she was capable of making something so awesome. I tried to use her ancient singer for years. It hated me. Never once did it co-operate. A few weeks ago, I attempted […]

We’ve been doing all the last-minute tasks prior to his arrival, including a fun winter maternity photoshoot with my sister. Next on […]
