Creative posts about my design work
With Christmas just around the corner I wanted to tell you about a few new things in stock. It’s been a busy fall collecting materials in the midst of covid with supply issues. Although some items won’t be here in time (terrazzo for the little tables…sob). Many other suppliers went over and above to get me the things I needed. Thank you Gordon Fabrics and The Clockery! I also made a few new things to fill in the gaps.

Last week the new terrazzo collection officially launched. An exciting time! Much anticipation and work led up to this point starting a couple years ago when my curiosity with terrazzo first began. Initially the plan was just to do the tables using terrazzo tiles but I struggled to find good sources. I considered using regular glazed tile but with stores closed due to covid there was no way to get my hands on the material before buying. I’m pretty picky when it comes to tile. I was reluctant to let the idea go so I decided to try and make terrazzo myself. In the end it opened up more opportunities to use the medium in new and unexpected ways.

With the warm weather finally returning, it’s a great time to spruce up our summer wardrobe! I don’t know if you’re like me but I like to purchase clothing and accessories from all kinds of sources. Let’s be honest, most of us can’t afford to buy from the prestigious brands all the time so we have to fill out the rest of our wardrobe with more affordable pieces. Enter, the pre-loved option. Right now one of the biggest fashion trends out there. It’s been slowly growing over the last few years with backlash against unethical foreign labour and the vast accumulation of wasteful fast fashion. It’s now cool and responsible to buy second hand 🙂 – Here’s a few tips for buying pre-loved.

Things have been a little quiet on the social media platforms so far this year, but don’t be led to believe I have been idle in any way. The opposite is in fact true and I’m excited to tell you all about some new happenings around here!
It’s that time of year again, the Railway City Arts Crawl. Although it was two weeks ago already, I think anytime is a good time to be inspired by art. And local at that!
It felt like there were quite a few more artists this year, or perhaps we just visited more locations than last year, I’m not sure. But along with some familiar friends there was also some new work that caught my eye. Continue reading “Railway City Arts Crawl – year 2” →
It started with the usual pinterest search for halloween costume ideas. Somewhere along the way Abi got the idea of being a hawk or eagle. Bella fell in love with the beautiful sweet fawns and Eva didn’t even need to look at Pinterest, Continue reading “bears, fawns and birds of prey” →
This week marks one year since I started my blog, opened my etsy shop and stepped in to the business of making and selling. In some ways its unbelievable a year has already passed but when I think of all that has happened I am surprised it has happened in only one year! Continue reading “One year” →
June was recovery and follow up from the big pillow order, July blasted past with going and coming to various little holidays with our family, and August seems to have disappeared before my very eyes. Isn’t that how our Canadian summers seem to go? I will drink in the last couple of warm days that September brings. But, oh… I do love fall. It might be my favourite season.
