toasty times

The air is crisp, the light is thin, and toasty times are coming. I am starting to make a list of my fall projects.

Has anyone made homemade marshmallows before?

bobbing apples

With Canadian Thanksgiving just around the corner, floating apple votives seem like an extra good idea.

That Martha thinks she's sooooo clever.

unexplained urge

I'm not sure why, but I feel compelled to throw a party where I can hang foofy looking things from the ceiling...what does this mean? Help!

egg creatures

The countdown is on! Easter is only 3 weeks from this Sunday. I plan to get started on these little guys asap. This is going to be so much fun!

That Martha has done it again.

Why does Martha think of everything before I do?

Meet my new favourite craft knife...I think it's beautiful.

dear martha

Dear Martha (Stewart),

You and I have always had a love/hate relationship, we both know this is mostly because I am jealous of you. When Josh and I started talking about painting 123 house a few months ago, and he professed his undying love and commitment to your line of paint, it added salt to my wounds. However, I am willing to move on...for now.

Thank you for your well edited line of paint available at Lowes. I was not a believer until recently, but I admit, I am impressed. The quality of the paint is outstanding, and the colors are gorgeous.

This week we began painting 123 house, and we love it, we absolutely love it. Martha...we love you!

p.s. Please feel free to stop by anytime.
