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 […]
thank you cards… and an engagement!
Well hello everyone, and happy 2013! As you may have noticed, the blog went on a little unplanned hiatus. (Which sounds like the name of an exotic flower, doesn’t it? I think we’ll need to have a post later on about crafting hiatus blossoms.) Many things happened, from having surprise houseguests to being behind on […]

Child’s Play charity dinner dress and Piranha Plant bouquet
In just under an hour I’ll be headed to the Child’s Play Charity annual dinner, a fancy-dress event that my friends and I go to every year. It’s become a tradition of mine that every year for this dinner, I make my own dress. And it’s also a personal tradition that every year I swear […]

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 […]

Desert Bus 6 Craft-Along!
So, I’ve been a little busy. Just a wee bit. There’s this thing called Desert Bus for Hope – it’s an online fundraiser that runs 24/7 for a week, and me and some pals have been doing a bit of work preparing for it. Y’know, just a bit. And when I say a bit, I […]

Garruk’s Companion plush
I’ve come a fair ways from simple (but adorable) baby Myr, and thank goodness, because if I’d been asked even a year ago if I could make a Garruk’s Companion plush, I probably would have laughed despairingly, wishing to be capable of such a thing, yet knowing it was not so. But practice, boys and girls, makes […]
