The following is a list of all entries from the projects category.

Tiramisu!

The onesies that we made for Paul and Gen went over quite well at the shower, especially the tiramisu one. So I made up a few more and listed them on etsy (See link in sidebar).
In honor of this new listing, I want to present the tiramisu recipe that inspired the onesie.
This recipe is from […]


Onesies

Our friends Paul and Gen just had a baby boy. They named him Dario (Rio for short), isn’t that cute? Paul and Gen are Italian so we decided to make some Italian-inspired onesies for Dario. We had all the supplies from the time we experimented with freezer paper stencils. We brainstormed a bit and came […]


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 […]


Blue Dot Test

Have you ever wondered why some people like bland, unseasoned food? Ryan and I err on the side of overspicing. We love rich espresso, dark chocolate, kalamata olives, aged white cheddar, garlic, chili peppers, curry, and dry red wine. This, we just discovered, is because we are non-tasters.
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 […]


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 […]


Baby Giraffe

This is the giraffe that I made for a baby gift. We have to ship it off right away but I thought I’d post a picture because I’m pretty proud of this, my first attempt at a stuffed animal. I really love the ones I saw at Wren Handmade, but they were $60 each. One […]


Music for Everyone

For the last two months that I lived in Calgary, I worked in the coffee shop in the main library downtown. One day, on a break (from the hard job of doing the Times crossword with my co-worker and occasionally making a latte or two), I wandered into the basement and found a rack […]
