So for those of you wondering what the material, mentioned here, was for; here it is!  This sweet apron was for a dear friend of mine whose birthday was on monday.  Using all vintage material I wanted an apron that really suited the vintage theme and my vegetarian friend is amazing in the kitchen so an apron [...]

I love sunny mornings.  The girls woke up a little bit earlier than usual this morning and I didn’t even mind because the sun looked brilliant flooding through the windows.  And am I the only one who loves a good breakfast?  We sat down to a breakfast of scrambled eggs with cheese, a banana, whole [...]

You know it’s going to be a good day when it begins with a dance party with a 3 year old! And indeed it was.  Yesterday my sister called and said that she was taking Ruth and I out for Red Lobster since she was going to miss both our birthdays.  YA! While anxiously awating [...]

I recently became an Aunt again, to a lovely little niece (which you can read about in more detail here) and the gift that Andrea (my sister in law) requested was a sling/ wrap for the baby.  Everyone loves the sling I use for Thelma and I always get several compliments.  What people don’t know [...]

The number three has always seemed like a small number but today the number has never felt so BIG.  In grade school 3 was my favourite number when I appeared third on the class list, and of course just like everything Margo and Thelma touch in my life, Margo has changed the significance of the [...]

So if you take four friends, plus the desire to craft, and add three children… this is what you get! I absolutely love these ladies and the afternoon was fantastic.  Introductions starting from the far left are, Vanessa, Lindsay, and Erika.  Lindsay brought her son, Jack, who’s birthday is only three days after Margo’s and Margo was thrilled. Jack [...]

Well, I promised you a post on a craft day with friends, which was just lovely, but will have to wait because I am far too excited at becoming an Aunt again! On August 9th at approximately 6: 45 Alaina Maria Turner was born at 6 lbs 14oz to the beaming parents Andrea and Philip [...]

There is something magical about date nights.  Last night Matt and I went to the the Keg, where we enjoyed amazing food and a great atmosphere.  Although, I think my favourite part of the evening was the walk home from downtown.  The breeze was perfect and there is something about the fresh air that initiates [...]

Ahhh, is there a better way to spend your Saturday night than with a pair of scissors and some amazing vintage fabric?  I think not. Since I don’t have a sewing machine at my house I decided that I would get everything cut out and ready to go, but now all I want to do is sew [...]

I have two incredible sisters.  Ruth, my younger sister, still lives in Windsor and we have awesome times together.  Lately, Ruth has been coming over and we cook a meal together. Well, last time Ruth cooked the meal and I sat at the kitchen table and watched her… but generally, we cook together.  This is [...]
