I have really struggled with feeling like my decorating options are super limited here. I find prices to be insane for almost everything and often feel like very little is worth it. Finding basic (and cheap!) options to fix up myself has been the best way to go for what I'm after. I actually made this fabric and yarn wrapped lamp way back in 2020, but as we know life got super weird super fast and I didn't post it at the time. I'm sharing this easy DIY now because I'm still happy with it and it ... Read More

City Fireworks Hoop Art
I love (and greatly miss!) summer fireworks. There's something really special about getting together as a community or neighborhood and watching the explosions of colour in the sky. Some of my favourite fireworks memories are of watching the spectacular show Pittsburgh always put on in the middle of the city. They would be set off from a barge in the river and the combination of tall buildings, booming light, and oldies playing is something that has stuck with me. I made this fun City Fireworks ...

Puffy Hexagon Pincushions
I swore that I wasn't going to be constantly running around with activities, but with four kids it was pretty much inevitable. My girls have various after-school activities--gymnastics and swimming are weekly and then there's the less frequent special events. I love that they're able to do them, but I honestly get bored waiting sometimes. I usually bring along a bag of stitching projects to work on and I have found that I really enjoy (and am protective of) this stitching time. I was getting ... Read More
Pom Pom Trim Spring Clutch
Spring is making itself known with sunny skies and warmer temperatures. The heavy coats have been packed away and lighter clothes are making their way out of the closet. With a change of season, I always feel the need to change up my purse along with my clothes. I didn't have anything that screamed spring to me, but I did have a zip pouch and pom pom trim and this Pom Pom Trim Spring Clutch is the happy result. This post first appeared on the Expo International blog. Supplies: plain ... Read More
Peekaboo Earrings
There's nothing better than those first few warm days of the year, especially after a rough winter. I feel like I've been in heavy clothes for forever and had to go digging for lighter things to wear. I needed some lighter and brighter accessories, too, and tried out my favourite peekaboo crafting style in the form of earrings. These Peekaboo Earrings are super lightweight and give you that bright pop of colour that we all crave. This post contains affiliate links. Supplies: Cricut ... Read More
Felt Bunny Spring Hoop
Scott and I realized a while ago that we had been decorating our house in bunnies without realizing it. We had four large prints in our dining room that featured bunnies and there was some sort of bunny presence in almost every room. I had pet bunnies as a kid and have always loved the animals, but hadn't intended to decorate my house in everything bunny. However, once we realized it, it felt like our duty to run with it. We don't have any bunny anything in the flat, so the warmer weather seemed ... Read More
