I’m still avoiding the quilt project from February – I know, I know…but I really just was not cut out for them. So instead of worrying about it, I scoured through my Pinterest Crafting and Sewing board to find something new for my March project. This GOOOOORGEOUS Anthropologie inspired ruffled pencil skirt from Elizabeth Ave won – I’m sure you can see why *heart eyes* I knew exactly what fabric to use because I’ve had it in my sewing room for over a…

**Disclaimer: Jord provided the Captain with the gorgeous watch below for review purposes. However, this has not affected my review and all opinions are 100% honest and my own.

Coachella Shorts #brotherinnovis #brothercanada #thesearethedays #Coachellashorts
When I saw these shorts made by iCandy Handmade, I was immediately in love. In fact, I went to the fabric store the very next day to grab embellishments {I’m trying to be responsible and use up fabric I already have…I know, sad!} and purchased the pattern from Striped swallow Designs so that I could get started right away. Now let me tell you – the pattern is ridiculously easy. Which is probably why it took me ALL night to figure it out.…
Sometimes shoes come with boring laces…and sometimes you just get sick of tying them. Or, like many parents, tired of waiting for what seems like FOREVER, for your kid(s) to tie theirs. U-Lace has solved the problem in the most fun and customizable way! This is probably my favourite design and I am desperate to get Jonah a pair of high tops so I can copy it. Ha! For now though, he’ll have to just enjoy the fun orange and…

T-shirts, T-shirts, Ra-Ra-Ra! #sewingfun #brotherinnovis #brothercanada #thesearethedays
Brother Canada provided me with a Brother Innov-is NQ3500D machine for trial purposes, but all opinions expressed are solely my own and do not necessarily represent or align with the views or opinions of Brother Canada. I’m feeling a little jipped ~ how have I spent all these years not knowing that making shirts could be so easy and fun? Now that I know, it’s all I want to do. I’ve discovered a new love for knit fabric as is…
Recently this beauty came to live at my house…in my living room to be exact. And she is lovely! As luck would have it this is my busiest time of year, so I haven’t been able to spend hours and hours figuring her out. BUT do not fret, I have next week off {the first week of June} and she will be mine….ALL mine! For now I started with something basic using my Girl Charlee Knitfix Fabric from November and…
Ready for my thoughts on the last two Julep boxes I received? {Read about November and February Maven Boxes Here} The American Beauty Maven Profile was changed to Modern Beauty for the March boxes. It was precisely for this reason that I chose not to skip the March box. I was not a huge fan of the multiple polishes each month {can get excessive quickly} and was THRILLED they were going to be changing it up with more full…
I’ve already done a Julep review once before, but seeing as I still haven’t cancelled my subscription and managed not to skip some months in time – I had 4 beautiful boxes waiting for me at the condo. Yay to my sister in law for bringing them back for me {she went at a different time}. Wanna know what I got and what I think? Well, okay… First things first – Julep made some changes to the American Beauty maven…
In the car the other day I noticed my lips were looking a little lack-lustre, so I reached for my lip gloss and that’s where it happened. My A-ha moment {Oprah style}! Remember how I couldn’t remember which product came in one of my Julep boxes? Well I totally know now….it was the lip gloss that I keep in my car! {which is why I couldn’t remember….I couldn’t find it lol and forgot I kept it in the vehicle}. Similar…
