2009-11-24T21:27:17Z

I made this birdie bookmark for my Wellie (it's a camp term; she's not a boot) for her birthday. My friends really love and appreciate when I hand-make things for them, which is AWESOME because I LOVE making things for them. This bookmark was mad...

It was our 1 year anniversary on November 2nd and I wanted to give flowers. Who says the boys always have to give the flowers to the girls? I wanted to be the flower giver this time. However, I didn't technically end up giving flowers. I gave...

This onesie was a custom order made for my friend, The Twizz. She has a friend who is expecting a baby very soon. He also happens to be a preacher. Awesome idea. This was really fun to make. I tried a new technique that I'm really happy with; i...

Here are four examples of my fall line, which is available at Fresh Baked Goods in Kensington Market (Toronto). Each piece is unique: the fabric leaves that I've appliqued on each shirt are different, as are the buttons. These short sleeved shir...

Because of Camp...

2009-11-05T19:12:24Z

I used a combination of silk screening and embroidery for these t-shirts that I made as retirement gifts for my past camp directors, Topaz and Zoic. The phrase I used on the shirts is one that I used in a video that was made of staff and alum...

My First Quilt

2009-11-05T19:04:00Z

One of my dear camp friends had a baby at the end of August. I started this little quilt for her baby while she was still pregnant and managed to finish it 3 weeks after the baby was born. Not too bad, for me! I've never made a quilt before, so ...

Stamp It

2009-11-05T18:53:29Z

While on mini-vacation this past June, my sweet guy purchased a stamp set for me that I fell head over heels for in a little shop in Montreal. The set has a number of birds laced with some appropriate plants/leaves/shrubbery. Last month I put the...

Green Pea Necklace

2009-08-17T17:08:16Z

I have this great red bead necklace that I found at a second hand store in Uxbridge a few years ago. Besides the perma-old lady perfume smell it has, it's a really cool necklace; the beads are large and I love its length. However, I found that, a...

Piglet & Pooh

2009-08-10T02:53:14Z

Friends of mine got married a few weeks ago and the bride had me embroider two hankies (his and hers) with this image of Piglet and Pooh on them. This one is my mock up; the actual end results are almost exactly the same, but with the names of th...

Ottoman Empire

2009-08-10T02:42:30Z

My roomies and I are growing up. It's true, we are. We're doing home improvements (and by that I mean, cosmetic changes. We don't use any tools more than those that help us hang things on walls). It started with re-doing the downstairs bathroom...
