strawberry fields forever

Hooray, summer is officially here! We celebrated this past weekend with some late strawberry picking at Emma Lea Farms. I had my little helper Cedar with me, filling (and sometimes un-filling) the buckets. Now comes the task of deciding what to make with all our berries (although they are pretty darn good plain)… ideas?

I captured one of my favourite mommy moments recently - Jasper and Cedar quietly sitting side by side creating some art. Ok, technically it was big brother making the art and little brother watching intently at the colours being splashed on the page, but heartwarming nevertheless.

Hmmmm… what to get for father's day coming up? I know, why not check out the latest gift guide in this month's issues of Today's Parent Magazine or Domino Magazine. Oh wait, what do you spot there?… looks like my cufflinks! Both the bike cufflinks and canoe cufflinks made the list for both publications. Hooray, a happy Monday indeed!

happy birthday jasper!

Today my cute little guy… correction, my cute big guy is 4! Yes, he is officially a “big boy” now... he has made that very clear. Happy Birthday Jasper! xoxo

Summer brings so many good things, one of them being weddings! This month, I have two new cake topper designs -  a floral set and a trees set (similar to the heart trees, but without the hearts). Check them out in the shop here. I am busy in the workshop coming up with more designs, so hopefully will post more over the coming months. Happy Monday!

just breathe

These past weeks have been busy, busy, busy… design work, craft work, chasing the kids… a bit of a whirlwind. Being in Vancouver though, I feel lucky that nature is around every corner… lots of perfect spots to just stop and breathe.

a punch of colour

An update today on those laser cut felt pieces I was experimenting with earlier this month (see here). I combined the pieces with some laser cut bamboo pieces to make colourful  flower brooches. Now it is just a matter of photographing them for the online shop...
