I don’t know how - I don’t know when But at some point this pile of wood will magically turn into a table that looks an awful lot like this: We’ve needed extra eating square footage for an eternity now so I’ve been eyeballing a million and one different farmhouse/ harvest tables for just the right … Continue reading »
This past weekend I officially landed on the other side of 40. I won’t lie, the day started off a bit rocky. I woke up giving myself a “hoo-ha” pep talk of not being shaken, moved or bothered in any way shape of form. Then I cried. A little 5 minute pity party cry. The … Continue reading »
I usually keep pretty quiet about my kiddos. I’ve mentioned why before, but in the three years this blog has been alive, I’ve written special posts about two of my three children, my oldest Jessica and my youngest Drew. To this day they are still two of my favourite pieces and the one about Jess … Continue reading »
Last week the weather was so nice, I decided to swap my indoor chores for outside ones. We are still picking away at the inside, but my art work project is completely driving me crazy and all the junk we’ve been pulling out has been obnoxiously sitting on my front porch. So it was time … Continue reading »
One of my favourite things about living on the west coast is all the beautiful foliage we get to look at. We may put up with a lot of rain, but we sure do get a whole lotta amazing greenery around us. Just south of us, for the month of April, our lovely American neighbours … Continue reading »
We are now on round 2 of my cheap crafty modge podgy photo artwork awesomeness, and I have to say I think this project HATES me! I have no idea what my problem is, but I honestly can’t seem to get this thing to go my way. This time I was even slow, careful and … Continue reading »
A few months ago we gained a sweet addition to our family…a little schnauzer puppy named Aspen. He’s smart, loveable, cuddly and adorable, but lately I’ve noticed I’m developing some serious feelings of jealousy towards him. This is how he spends most of his day: Lounging around like he has all the time in the … Continue reading »
I am beyond excited about my latest project. Like – slap myself silly and call me Shirley – excited. But I can’t show it to you, because I ruined it. Yep totally ruined it. And even though I ruined it which should make me ridiculously angry…(which I was for about 2 seconds)…I’m still still up … Continue reading »
There were two things I was very sure of when we bought our house. 1. I really wanted to paint everything white. 2. I really wanted white plank floors. Im not sure what it is about white floors, but I love them! So clean, quaint, and depending how you decorate, a little funky. I think … Continue reading »
I snapped this photo yesterday while I was getting ready for work. Oh ya, roller on my vanity! That’s right, cause you never know when you may want to paint something whilst in the bathroom! I consider myself a fairly honest girl. But I wonder if I may be holding back a few tidbits of … Continue reading »
In two months 40 will be upon me. I’ve asked it to hold off a bit, until I can get a few things straight, but age is pushy, bossy and waits for no one. And from what I hear 40 is the most domineering of the ages. Let’s just say you don’t want to go … Continue reading »
Kicking is really what should be in the title…but in good conscience I couldn’t say that. I would sort of be lying. Because flailing is really what I’m doing these days. From one thing to the next. Forget busy…no siree…I’ve completely by-passed busy and gone straight to flailing. When asked ”How are you doing?” No … Continue reading »
I don’t really get spare time…I like to tell myself I do, but I don’t really. However, if I am able to squeeze a teeny tiny morsel of time to myself I occasionally read, write, or google research myself to death. And then sometimes I just waste it. Like today. But look what I created with … Continue reading »
Every now and then a project comes along that forces me to put on my bossy pants and remind everybody who’s in charge. Of course obstinate inanimate objects have no idea what they are up against when they start messing with me. I’m a working mother of three, who’s almost 40, and stays up way … Continue reading »
January…it’s the time of year that makes us all reflective and resolution-ish. Fancy, ambitious lists start floating around with important dos and don’ts that will no doubt make our lives perfecto. For some strange reason this particular month also makes me feel like I’ve been a good for nothing lazy bum over the last 365 … Continue reading »
You may or may not have noticed things have been less than busy around my little ole blog. I know I had high hopes of making furniture and getting on an overly ambitious renovating timeline that would have us painted, re-done, AND decorated for Christmas all before Halloween. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again….SHA-HA Right! … Continue reading »
Of course hang your toast up! In fact hang it up everyday or things could get crummy! Okay the gig is up. That title makes no sense and what I said about it isn’t funny at all…but I like luring you into long overdue posts with obscurity…or lying…which I’ve done…but promised to never do again. … Continue reading »
Well it’s official, we have moved. Finally! Phew! What a whirlwind! I never want to move again, EVER! I use to think it was kind of exciting to move. When I was 21 I moved from one side of Canada to the other, all by my lonesome, knowing only three people. I thought it was … Continue reading »
Project Mayhem is officially over, and I gotta say I’m kinda glad! I’m tired and my plate is filling up quickly with other things that need my attention. Writing daily has been a great challenge for me and I’m glad I did it, but now I’m ready for it to be over. Here are a … Continue reading »
I am so excited to give you all a sneak peak of Jenn’s new jewels for the summer! She’s been busy, busy, busy, making a whole lotta fabuloso stuff that will completely knock your socks off! So not much chitter chatter today…just lots of jewellery eye candy. Lets have a looky-loo shall we! It’s all … Continue reading »
