Delicious Cucumber Alphabet

What can I say? Ryan is passionate about typography and I’m passionate about cucumbers. And yes, I totally ate every last piece after we took the pic.

The Flora to My Fawn(a)

Someone needs to take this freezer paper away from me. Or else find me some new colors of fabric paint. In any case, I present this, my second freezer paper stencil project.

Freezer Paper Fawn

Okay, so maybe I didn’t make that hoodie from scratch like I said I would. But I did buy this hoodie in the men’s department for $8 and then alter it a little. I took in a bit on the sides and under the arm so it wouldn’t look like I have massive shoulders. And […]

Very Hush Hush

Last summer, an artist named Cathy Terepocki opened up shop here in Nelson with designer Tracy Fillion, in an airstream trailer in a back alley. Okay, it’s only sort of a back alley as it does have a name (Herridge Lane) and is also occupied by one of the best restaurants in Nelson, All Seasons […]

The book Harmony on the Palate, which is […]

Spicy

One on the many organizational accomplishments of the weekend is this new magnetic spice rack. I know, the whole magnetic spice tin thing isn’t news by any means. Maybe even a little played out. But it’s still genius. We put them up on the side of our fridge. I wasn’t going to label them because […]

Things I Want to Make (But There’s a Good Chance I Won’t)

1. Some variation of this embroidered “messy tablecloth” by AZEdesign
Why I love it: it’s so perfectly embroidered to look like a complete mess
Why I won’t be making it: no patience for embroidery, at all
Why you should make it: so you can have me over for a dinner party

2. A smaller sized version of this cascade […]

Etsy Store

 
I just couldn’t throw it out. It was a huge vintage poster from a school in Kaslo, with a scene of a park on one side and a kitchen on the other. The walls of the kitchen were a delightful pistachio colour. A friend of ours saved it and others from the trash and passed […]
