You got a bit of a sneak peak of this mobile a few days ago, but here’s the close ups! Since the baby is going to live in our room for the first several months, I wanted a mobile that we would also like to look at. I’m loving how it turned out! I don’t

Pretty, right? I’m kind of obsessed with the new barnwood desks that I constructed for us last weekend out of very old wood from Minnesota. And I did it all without any woodworking. I don’t own any power tools (or even a manual) so these were made from planks of wood, as we bought them.
This week has been crazy. I’m tagging our Canadian tax software like crazy. I had a full day wedding out in Fort Langley on Saturday. And I spent all day Sunday redecorating the office and constructing barnwood desks (barnwood sourced from an old shelving unit I bought from an awesome craigslist seller for $40). A
So, this project didn’t start out specifically as a man cave project. However, in the end, that is what it turned out being… and I pretty much love it. You can’t really make beer labels ethereal, can you? I did this project on the same day that I did project coasters take 2, because it
Last June (…the 2011 June…) I posted about my very first Pinterest inspired craft: coasters! That was just a sneak peak and I promised I’d put a tutorial up soon. Unfortunately, in some France-induced excitement last summer, I deleted my memory card and lost all the step-by-step images. But, never fear… yesterday I undertook project

We have medium-sized renter plans for our kitchen (which I showed you for the first time a couple of weeks ago). The colour is going to change. The table is going white. We are doing mis-matched colourful chairs. The first such chair is the white one you see in the picture. This chair was free
When I arrived in Edmonton I was super keen. I had been scrambling to pack up in Toronto, so I hadn’t had much time to craft or to bake. I already told you about my fun Christmas gift wrap, and all the other crazy things we got up to over the holidays, but I only
I’m back! The move went as well as could have been hoped for and we’ve been buzzing around Edmonton and Lloydminster at about a million miles an hour! Things will be pretty light around the blog for the next couple of weeks, but today I want to talk about this year’s wrapping. I’m obsessed with
Happy Monday friends! This is my third last “Monday” for the indefinite future. Or, I guess every day will be a Monday, depending on my mood! Given my waking up at 5:30 everyday in the last week, including weekends, because I am SO.EXCITED.ABOUT.LIFE I tend towards the no days will feel like Mondays. At least
I made a craft last night. Coasters! And I’m super excited about them! The inspiration came from here (I love pinterest), but I took a more personal route and the final result looks like this. Awesome right? A more detailed step-by-step about my first foray into the wonderful world of mod podge is coming in
