Our local Business Excellence Awards were tonight, and as I was nominated in the Young Entrepreneur category we attended the “do”. It was a nice excuse to get dressed up and out for the evening, although I didn’t come home with any awards. I fully expected not to win, although I felt honoured to be nominated. [...]

This won’t be true for all of you, but around here it is the time of year to bundle up and do whatever it takes to stay nice and cozy. I can help you with that if you have some kids to keep warm! I have added some new warmies to the shop this week, [...]

In support of my fellow crafters who are negatively impacted by the new American CPSIA regulations, I wanted to participate in a giveaway that Swistle is hosting. I am not directly impacted (yet – our government has the potential to be equally ridiculous), being in [...]
I heart thrifting
Posted in Etsy shop, craftyness, day to day, news, projects, re-purpose projects, recycling, sewing, shop updates, studio stuff, thrifting on January 28, 2009 | 4 Comments »
It has been pretty quiet on the crafting front since Christmas, but after a very successful thrifting trip on the weekend I am beginning to get my motivation back.
Some sweaters waiting to become pants, skirts and hats. I have almost perfected my cutting technique so that I can get a hat, a pair of pants [...]
about a dog
Posted in everything else, the girl on January 27, 2009 | 2 Comments »
This is Zac. Zac is a very nice dog who belongs to my parents, and who has been living at our house since the middle of December. The thing is, I am not what you would call a dog person. I don’t hate them – I grew up with dogs in the house, I have [...]

While doing a puzzle:
S: Mommy, where dis one go? Mommy, where dis one go? Mommy, where dis one go? Mommy, where dis one go?

In the kitchen:
The Splendid Table’s How to Eat Supper: Recipes, Stories, and Opinions from Public Radio’s Award-Winning Food Show
I bought this book on the recommendation of amy at angry chicken, and I am just as thrilled with it as she is. This is one of those books that will make you a better cook, even if [...]
play is the word

For Christmas this year, Will and I decided to make Stella a play kitchen. We talked about it last year, never got around to it, even though I bought her play food and dishes for it. We talked about it again around her birthday, never got to it. One of the reasons we found it [...]
my big three
Posted in day to day, everything else, linky links, projects on January 13, 2009 | 3 Comments »
I am still feeling the ”new year, fresh start” thing, but unfortunately haven’t had much time yet to do any of the things I had planned for the month of January. My plans were to do a lot of re-organizing in our messy house, some planning and brainstorming for the year, some business stuff, my taxes…not ambitious at all. Riiight. [...]
just the thing
Posted in day to day, everything else, linky links, news on January 5, 2009 | 7 Comments »
Today has not been the smoothest of days, in large part because we have a barfing toddler in the house, but I found just the thing to cheer me up when visited one of my favourite blogs – Cozy Memories. Sonia has passed onto me a very nice little blog award: About the award : [...]
