I’m not a big fan of wedding favours, to be honest. On all these bridal sites they list ideas like commemorative keychains and magnets with the happy couple’s names and image emblazoned upon them like some bizarre “I was there” wedding tourist trophy. Plus getting all that stuff manufactured somewhere is going to be some [...]

A Farewell to Christmas – leftover candy canes & paper gift packets
January is a bleak time of year. Christmas is over, New Year’s is past and it’s a looooooong wait until Easter. (Fortunately, in BC this year we finally got an official holiday added in February – a long weekend called Family Day. But there’s still all of January to get through.) It usually takes me [...]

Advent calendar plus fake mantelpiece!
So, I’m sorry about the total lack of blog post last week. To be fair, I was a little busy. Desert Bus for Hope ran for 152 hours and raised over $443,000, and it sort of kind of looked a bit like this: That’s the incredible Desert Bus 6 poster created by official Desert Bus [...]

Convention prep – buttons and bag inserts
It’s one of those little those little truths in life: there are never quite enough pockets. Whether in bags, backpacks, pants or other clothing articles, there are just never quite enough pockets not to be shuffling your fingers around the bottom of your bag, looking for whatever small item has gotten lost in the depths. It’s bad [...]

galaxy fabric – MAKER OF WORLDS
So, long and slurred story short, I finished this blog post earlier, came home and drank a bunch of beer to celebrate the fact that it’s Friday and screw everything that has been irksome and difficult about this week, and now my will to write a cohesive introduction has been almost entirely annihilated*. So here’s [...]

quick, colourful gift tags
A couple weeks ago we had a sort of “unbirthday” party with my relatives for all the spring birthdays we’d been too busy to celebrate together as they happened. I made a couple small sweet hair accessories to give my cousins, and made gift tags for everyone’s goodies. The party got scheduled a bit last-minute, [...]

pooping paper bunny basket
Easter. Bunnies. Chocolate. Somehow in the very weird evolution of all things holiday, these three things came together. Ok, so the Easter Bunny delivers countless chocolate eggs to little boys and girls, but what’s a rabbit doing with eggs? Where’d he get them? I’ve spent the past several years studying and then working at a [...]

- Moral of the story is, avoid venues in Central Saanich. WISH WE'D KNOWN THIS IN FEBRUARY. Gah.
- Sounds like they're kind of hard-assed Puritan dicks & don't have a lot better to do, since not much happens in Central Saanich. >_<
- Learning more about our wedding liquor issues. Seems the problem is w/ Central Saanich police, who have different rules from everyone else.
