Here in Canadaland, Thanksgiving comes early. It seems strange to our American neighbours, but this coming weekend, not even halfway through October, we will be sitting down to a stomach-bloating meal of turkey and mashed potatoes and all the other traditional foods. My husband and I are hosting Thanksgiving dinner this year, so I thought […]

clothes peg closet organizer
I never liked cleaning my room as a kid, but I did like organizing it. In fact I’d usually procrastinate on actual cleaning in favour of organizing one small drawer or corner in fastidious detail. At one point in my teenage years I not only alphabetized all my books, I also put little numbered and lettered […]

Halloween party decorations
I must apologize for the fact that it is currently Monday, not Thursday, and this post was meant to be up on Thursday. It’s been a crazy week just passed and it’s only going to get worse as we get closer and closer to Desert Bus. Speaking of which, there are going to be a […]

DIY glasses-and-moustache disguise
It occurs to me that if I’d taken all the time I’ve spent on small, bits-and-pieces Halloween-y costume pieces this year and put it together, I could have actually had time for making a proper, full on costume. But then I’d have had one costuming blog post instead of three. Plus I’ve discovered a brilliant […]
