• Fall Scarecrow and Crow - Free Crochet Pattern

    Fall Scarecrow and Crow Amigurumi – Free Crochet Pattern

    23 September 2024 - By 

    If you caught some of my previous posts, you know how much joy it brings me to decorate and create themed bookshelves. From dinosaurs, to food, to every season, it is so much fun to change up this space and create a little bit of magic. I especially love decorating the shelves with handmade items that I have crocheted. I was so inspired by one of our favourite Fall books, The Scarecrow written by Beth Ferry, that I created a garland of scarecrows and crows inspired by the gorgeous illustrations of the Fan Brothers. If you love these unlikely friends…

  • Free Printables: Vintage Turkey Art

    3 November 2023 - By 

    Gobble Gobble! If you have seen my previous posts (Vintage Dog Art and Vintage Halloween Art), you know how much I love to decorate with prints for the holidays. Continuing on this trend, I have compiled artworks that are perfect to add a special touch to your Thanksgiving decor. Or if Thanksgiving has already come (like me in Canada), I think any of these would be great to decorate a kitchen area or as part of a curated gallery wall alongside various other animals. As always, these printables are free to download, so feel free to use them as you…

    3 October 2023 - By 

    Children’s books are magical to me. Not only are they filled with magnificent and whimsical illustrations, most also have the greatest stories with the loveliest heartfelt messages. Every time I read one of these stories with my child, I am always in awe of the books’ powers to wonder and to create the best heartwarming feelings.  I love collecting seasonal books and really enjoy putting together themed bookshelves. Here, I thought I would share some of my favourite fall books in the hopes they inspire you and bring warm cozy feelings to you and your family. Goodbye Summer, Hello Autumn…

  • Sweater Weather

    27 September 2023 - By 

    Crisp fall mornings are back and it is finally time to get cozy in your favourite knitted sweater. As the temperature has been dropping, I’ve recently pulled out my sweater collection from the back of my wardrobe and it has been so nice to finally be reunited after this long hot summer. I’m positively ready for walks on fallen leaves, rainy mornings, and any apple orchard.  I don’t tend to wear a lot of colours, in fact, I mainly wear shades of black. However, I do love a print (typically on a black background) as well as different shapes and…

  • Skull Doily

    Not quite your grandma’s doily

    26 September 2023 - By 

    Doilies. I love doilies. Count me in as loving “grandma-chic” or “grandmillennial” style. To me, there is something so pleasing with mixing traditional style with a sleek modern twist and I love to use this approach for decorating my home. This can be seen through my choice of artworks, furniture, and decor items, especially if they are homemade, like doilies. When I started crocheting a few years ago, I had no idea that making doilies would quickly become one of my favourite thing to craft. I especially love making seasonal ones for the holidays (I have so many Halloween ones…
