No big announcements, just a custom order :)   I’m working on an order of 55 mini boxes for my dad’s cousin’s daughter’s baby shower.  If you understood that, it means my third cousin.  She might be once removed, but I’m not sure. We don’t know if the baby is a boy or a girl, so we’re doing half of each.  The boxes are all made, and now the stamping is done. Just a scalloped circle to cut out, in pink and blue for each box, add the ribbon and I’ll be done. I’ll keep you posted on the progress, and this weekend I’m hoping to start some Christmas cards, and work on some more of the custom orders I have. Happy Friday!...

Hey Pumpkin!

I have to admit that Halloween is not really my favourite holiday.  As a kid living in Northern Ontario, we always had to have a costume that over a snowsuit (seriously).   It may not have always been snowing, but it was always nippy out.  If your costume didn’t fit OVER the snowsuit…it had to go UNDER, which meant no one actually knew what you were when you rang the doorbell.  No kid wants to explain over and over again what their costume is. I do love, however, this Halloween stamp.  Maybe it’s not so much Halloween, but it’s definitely a Fall stamp and super cute. I made some simple gift tags and they’re...

Bookmarks back from the dead

My vampire bookmarks have been doing quite well in my Etsy shop, with 3 variations, plus a few werewolf bookmarks,  they’ve sold well.     However, it seems there’s another untapped genre of mythical creatures…zombies!  My friend Karin of KarinSF asked for some zombie bookmarks and gave me full creative power over the design, colours and quotes.  This was a bit tricky since I’ve never actually read a zombie book. I contact my sister, who involved her fellow Zombie-loving friend and they provided me with a list of memorable and recognizable zombie related quotes.  It was a group effort and I’m very pleased with...

Knitting: not just for old people.

While I often feel I’m an old soul, I have fully embraced my desire to knit. I’m ready to receive the “oohs” and “ahhs” and the “YOU made THAT?” Initially taught by my Italian grandmother (Nonna) when I was younger, I couldn’t purl to save my life and shoved the needles through the tight stitches with such force it’s a wonder I never punctured my hand. I put the needles down for many years, and have recently picked them up again. I’m great at knitting scarves; they’re straight and simple. I upgraded to cable knitting, not as hard as I thought and very impressive. Last year I graduated to circular needle knitting and created my Latte...
