A few weeks ago I had a major “I could make that” moment when one of my coworkers handed me a pen. It was free pen she’d gotten from the campus copy store, and the entire body of the pen was paper. It was lightweight, had a wonderful feel to it, and looked pretty […]
cardboard marionettes – Go Canucks!
First of all, ladies and gentlemen, I must apologize. I am still trying to get caught up on various projects after the whirlwind of moving, and I’m afraid I’ve gotten a bit lazy with the blog in the past couple weeks. I shall endeavor to get back on track with timely updates. It seems […]

easy peasy redecorated coasters
Today, dear readers, a quiz: What’s the first thing you do when preparing to move? Is it: A) Calmly assess your packing needs and begin to look for boxes. B) Book a moving van and start sucking up to your friends. (“Oooh, you have such impressive biceps! I bet you can lift really heavy stuff!”) […]

smooth-edged, hidden-hem patches
Sometimes life is about laziness, sometimes it’s about busyness and sometimes it’s about delayed gratification. This week it’s about all three.

paper orchids AND spiralled paper roses
We’re moving soon, and I’ve been slowly going through all my stuff, organizing and paring down. When I say “stuff” I largely refer to crafting supplies, since that’s what most of my world is made of. While sorting through all that “stuff” it came to my attention that I have what might technically be referred […]

paper plants
All of my houseplants go through a sort of trial by fire. Or trial by neglect, to be more accurate. If they can withstand my general gardening ignorance and sporadic-at-best attention, they get to stay. If not… well in that case there isn’t much of them left anyway, is there? It’s not that I dislike […]
