Snap

There. That’s me. It was crazy warm just over a week ago. I stupidly didn’t take any pictures because I was too busy having fun. I am a sun baby, what else can I say?

Evolution of My New Apartment

Previously, I used to document things along the way, corner by corner, project by project. Living in an extremely small space (for my standards) has made me feel like I am not quite ready to...

April

My kitchen from last weekend. I am posting this to prove I am still alive, enjoying life and do sometimes snap pictures of things other than Nan. I have become (or always was?) an obsessed pet...

Something To Keep The Spirits Up

I sometimes feel bad when I post about my travels or weekend trips – but then I shake my head a little and just move on. I can’t and will no longer be able to post just about home stuff. My life...

Frozen Waterfalls

Along with my theme of embracing winter and warding off the Ontario blues, I got out last weekend. It was magical.

Nature-FIY! I want my apartment to feel like I am outside.

But I am inside. Outside. Inside. You get it. Here is a roundup of all the things I want in my apartment ASAP. Craft day needs to occur ASAP. Lot’s of ASAP’s in my life right now. Painted leaves....

I AM BUYING YOU

I need this reminder in my home everyday. So I am buying it this week. Print by Sandi Falconer of Dead Weight

Small Corners and Objects

Like I said earlier this week, my place really is squared away like I would like for me to ‘share’ my whole apartment yet. And frankly, there is parts of my apartment that I may never share (here’s...

The Black Hole of Winter

I fell into it. The black hole of the Canadian winter. It’s been weeks since I have posted – the crickets were only getting louder. Life has been speeding forward -there has been snow (relative to...

Pressure

“We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.” – Jawaharial Nehru January is a...

How I Work – A Work Space In Transition

Buzz has started in Toronto about the Interior Design Show 2013 (IDS13) and what we will see. IDS13 has put together a cool concept exhibit and contest about how YOU (or we) work. The exhibit...

January Slices

We moved!!!!! And this is our new EMPTY apartment. Nan’s ear is amazing. And it gets a lot of attention. Why is it like that? Well apparently it is super common for sheppards to have their ears...

Inspiration for My New Nest

I am in full fledged nesting mode for my new space. I have secretly been squirreling away ‘inspiration’ images on Pinterest – I felt so sneaky every time I pinned an image to my secret board....

New Digs

So if you follow me on Instagram or Twitter, I have alluded to the fact that I am about to get a new place – a very small, quaint studio apartment – but my own place. It took awhile to find...

Let’s Get Lost

There is something that makes me incredibly uncomfortable (duh: anxiety) when I get lost. Or at least when I know I am starting to get slightly lost. Getting lost isn’t a big deal. We all know that...

Slices

Well that’s me in a nutshell, what about you?!?

DIY: Simple Natural Holiday Wreath

I wanted to create some really simple, easy (for someone who likes making stuff I am always looking for a way to make my projects quicker) and cheap. This month and next are all about budgets. I...

Holiday Gift Guide: For The DIY-ER In Your Life

Last year I did a holiday gift guide for the DIY-er and I thought it might be fun to do the second edition – 2012. There are always lots of new funky things that you can buy that crafty, handy,...

Craft Preps

Tonight I got my act together and began gathering materials for my holiday crafting/decorating. Since I am in my temporary digs, I don’t want to go overboard so I did my best to think of a few...

Other Para Paint Projects In The Works

A little teaser – although I haven’t posted much regarding my participation on the Para Paints BlogCrew, I promise I have been doing a few things, just none are quite ready to share! I can’t really...

Open Roads

I love Of Monsters and Men. They are playing next week in Toronto and I didn’t manage to secure a ticket to either of their shows (yet!). I am crushed and hoping the fairy ticket mother comes out...

Camp Dish Box – A New Lease On Life

For as long as I could remember my grandmother used this old banged up, homemade box to house all our camping dishes and cooking related supplies. I wrote about her melamine camp dishes here. It...

Transitions From Fall to Winter – WINTER DIY Roundup.

There. I went there. It’s post Halloween. Pre-snow filled streets. Holiday music has started in some stores (or so I’ve heard). I need to wear a hat and mitts to walk the dog. So basically it is...

Last Minute Halloween Pumpkin Fix

Oh Meagan… You never learn do you? I have to put a disclaimer out there and say off the hopper that I ALWAYS have good intentions. It was me that suggested we stop for pumpkins mast weekend when my...

Snip

Things I have snapped lately. Or in this case, small ‘snips’ of my days… The last Junction Flea of the year I bought the Canada print Manual Labour Coffee. A must at the Flea. Plus they were...

Weekend Getaways

As an attempt to keep my gypsy self in Toronto for awhile after I returned from my summer out west, I made a commitment to myself to try to get out of the city every and/or most weekends. I have...

Rain + Coffee + Quiet = Crafting Adventures

Man oh man, have I ever been lazy lately when it comes to projects. It’s embarrassing. I sort of feel like I should remove all the tags that say “DIY” with my blog for the time being. But that...

Big Sky

It’s magical. I have been thinking about it a lot lately. Is it odd that I am already thinking about driving out there? I should be sick of long distance driving solo. But I am not. Canada is a...

Cottaged.

Am trying my best to escape the urban crunch every weekend. In September Nan and I scooted up to a very good friends cottage in Parry Sound. Nan got involved with some sweet cottage fire napping...
