Ready And Waiting

It’s been over 5 years since I played this waiting game, but it still feels all too familiar, like it was just yesterday.  This whole pregnancy I’ve had this notion in my head that this being my 3rd time around, it would be easier.  The labour and delivery part.  I had myself convinced that it […]

The Craft Cabinet – Summer 2012

Sometimes the best things are those that are done at the last minute, thrown together spontaneously.  That certainly proved to be the case with the first installment of The Craft Cabinet.  Jules and I are typical textbook over-thinkers, but when you have less than 4 weeks to throw together an event, lest one of the […]

DIY No Sew Leather Pouch

I get a lot of questions on my leather pouch tutorials I’ve done here and here. Mainly it involves sewing leather and how easy or difficult it is to accomplish. I will admit that if you don’t have at least a somewhat decent machine, sewing leather can be a challenge and very intimidating.  So I […]

Daily Style – Summer Days

Our last days of summer have arrived. I’m set to wake the kids in just a few minutes for the first day of school and I’m a combination of mixed feelings about my littlest one starting Kindergarten.  In the last week I haven’t been doing a lot of “getting dressed” other than in shorts and […]
