A New Necklace

I found this lovely necklace on Etsy and have to share it with you.  It’s called ‘Swooping silver bird necklace’ from seller lunetmuse.  Lunetmuse is also Canadian, which is a perk. I bought some earrings for my wedding too, but you don’t get to see those yet. xo Saree  

Handmade Beginnings – It’s About Time!

I’ve had this book, ‘Handmade Beginnings’ by Anna Maria Horner, on my wish list forever.  I love all the projects on Anna Maria’s site, so I went for it and bought the book this past weekend.  I know exactly what I want to make too.  Remember those new fabrics I was showing off from Innocent [...]

Home Renovations

A and I bought our first home, built in 1923, in December 2009.  It isn’t located in our preferred location, but it was within our price range and is in a nice old pocket of downtown.  Because we are just starting out though, we didn’t have a lot of extra money kicking around for renovations.  [...]

New Fabric Has Arrived!

I got my order from Fabricworm today and I’m so happy with the fabrics I selected.  I got Habitat, Innocent Crush, and Heath.  The colours look great together.  I’m not sure when I’ll get around to making this quilt, but I love looking at the fabric! xo Saree

Moby Dick Sweater

I was browsing Design*Sponge in December and saw this post for a gift guide- revenge of the nerds.  Being a nerd, this gift guide was right up my alley.  I spied this awesome Moby Dick sweater from Out of Print and had to have a look on their site.  Out of Print has a wide [...]

CSA Food Box

Since the New Year, A and I have been trying to eat more healthy and consume less ‘stuff’.  This isn’t a resolution, and would have occurred anytime of year, but the decision just happened to occur following New Year’s.  We had already banned the purchase of meats since the summer (although this doesn’t prevent us [...]

Baby Onesies!

This isn’t a post of a project I did, but I bought some really great baby onesies on Etsy at the shop Caustic Threads and had to show them off.  Two of our friends had babies recently and in a search to find some onesies that were ‘just right’, I stumbled upon Caustic Threads.  I [...]
