I just finished these little portraits for the super sweet Tamara, who is even more adorable and lovely in person than she is on T.V.

So excited about the Jupiter Project’s upcoming t-shirt show. Sneak Preview can be viewed here. I want one of these for both Ila and Sosi.

Our theme over at Small Fancy is “Halloween Freaks“. Happy Halloween!

it’s cozy time

This time of year for me is all about the knitting. It’s hard to not be knitting all the time… This week’s theme at Small Fancy is “Autumn Sweater“.

For all you folks worried about sweet Ila from last week’s Small Fancy (she’s only going 1 morning a week), she’s doing much better at daycare. She  even ventured off  the couch and made me a craft last time.  She points to it all day, beaming with pride.

button rings

Sosi found my button collection the other day and we decided to make button rings after an intense sorting session (oh, she is my daughter!).

We used straightened paper clips (the coloured ones are best), wrapped them around a marker to make a ring, and slip the button on. Super simple and very fun.

some of my favourite things..

pie

I think Thanksgiving has to be one of my favourite holidays, mostly because it is centered around food… in particular pumpkin pie. Sosi shares my deep love of pumpkin pie. I always make her a mini pie, because I know she has a hard time waiting until dinner to have some.

dress

I finished Ila’s dress. It turned out so great, so cute and cozy. I used this pattern here and made a few modifications. I will definitely be knitting more dresses!

loving tree

This is my latest commission. It’s being donated to a local women’s shelter here in Charlottetown, and will be hung in its new playroom.

This week’s Small Fancy theme is “Garfield“.

Happy Thanksgiving weekend  to all you Canadians! 🙂

We got a hamster! His name is “sweetie”. He is adorable and we are all totally in love with him. The only problem is this is about as much as we ever see of him. He either really loves the little house we built him… or he hates us. Not sure which it its.

climbing mountains

climb

This week’s theme at Small Fancy is “Climb every Mountain“. It’s an homage of sorts to our friends Anastasia and Josué who just got back from climbing mountains in Africa (!).

My trip last weekend was so much fun! Even though I was dreading turning 37 (sounds so old), I think I might have had one of my best birthdays yet. I was thoroughly spoiled. I want to thank everyone who made it such a great day, especially my lovely husband who held down the fort while I was away. The kids had so much fun, I don’t think they even noticed I was gone. 🙂
