About Me
A fresh new catalogue will always make me smile, a tall glass of lemonade signifies the start of summer. I will never underestimate the power of a post-it note. I love anything old, and with a story. I'm always up for a challenge. I love traditions especially when it comes to family & friends. I laugh when I'm nervous. I believe gyms are for sweating not make-up. I think crafting brings people together. That’s me, in a nutshell.

Craft and Create… Charming
Indeed, I love me some social crafting. For the past few weeks my pal Alyssa and I have been meeting up mid-week, post work to channel our crafty side. We typically start off the evening with a run and finish … Continue reading
Craft and Create… Green Stone Bracelet
It’s been another book infused week and the crafting and creating has been…well…lacking. But, a few weeks back I assembled this green stone bracelet. A contrasting combo of a recycled dainty women’s gold watch band, a rough, faceted semi-precious stone … Continue reading

Craft and Create… Jazzed Up Sweater
We all have one… an old sweater. The ugly sweater you received as a gift. The Christmas sweater. Even if you don’t, you at least have access to a Goodwill or second hand store filled with sweaters, which is exactly … Continue reading
Craft and Create… YARN-ING IT UP!
As if I couldn’t get any more obsessed with all things fiber related… I went out and found myself another hobby…this time it involves yarn. Last week I taught myself how to knit. Well, truthfully, I’m still in the midst … Continue reading
Craft and Create… Christmas Party Outfit
Okay, I know this may seem ridiculous…it’s October and I’m already planning a Christmas party outfit. BUUUUUUT, to be fair I just discovered we have a hospital Christmas party at the U of A, which I’m told is kind of … Continue reading
Craft and Create… Still Stuck on the Maxi Dress
Hey y’all! I’m sad to say I haven’t had an opportunity to craft anything up this past week. Probably a combination of long weekend laziness and craft closet explosiveness to explain my lack of crafty spirit. But not to worry… … Continue reading
Craft and Create…A Dress for Thanksgiving
With my sewing machine carved out of that closet, yes, the same closet I was telling you about yesterday, I thought I would take advantage and whip up a dress for Thanksgiving. Lately, I’ve been feeling like I’m in a … Continue reading
Craft and Create…Fall Top
Okay, first off I apologize for the over the top, hamming it up, hand on the hip photo of me in my new shirt at the bottom of this page. It’s a bit much. But it’s a good shot of my most … Continue reading
