Button Tufted Camera Bag

Button Tufted Camera Bag

I want to baby our camera. Does anyone else have this problem?

You see that? Button tufted interior. What luxury! Nothing but the best for my camera…
So, yes, this is a little over-the-top. For a camera. It’s just that I want something that I can throw in my purse so I don’t have to be worried [...]

DIY Mugs

DIY Mugs

I really love these monogrammed mugs (”D” and “I” are from Anthropologie; “Y” is from Fishs Eddy via D*S)
My mom had the idea to do-it-herself with the white mugs she already has.
I found these fantastic rub-on transfers (via DesignMom):

There are all sorts of colors and styles here.
I emailed them to ask if they were waterproof. [...]

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

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

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

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 [...]

Baby Giraffe

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 [...]

About

Britt McMaster is addicted to cucumbers. She and her husband, Ryan, live and work in a tiny apartment in downtown Vancouver, BC. Both Ryan and Britt love to write lists of all their ideas on action sheets, and they have pages and pages. They write especially quickly after they've each had a dry cappuccino or two. Most of those fanciful ideas will stay on paper, but Cucumbersome is Britt's platform to try some out.
