For the last few years we have been making up batches of these spice blends for family and friends, at first we thought they were just being polite when they tasted some of our recipes with them and the first time we gifted them, but it’s safe to say it’s like Christmas every time IContinue reading “MASON JAR SPICE BLENDS”

VINTAGE CHAIR WREATH STAND
It’s no secret I LOVE DECORATING MY FRONT LAWN FOR HALLOWEEN! It’s not that I love Christmas any less, however Canadian winters puts a damper on outdoor decor.

DIY FABRIC ICE/HEAT BAGS
You will need 2 pieces of 100% cotton or flannel cotton fabric cut each to 8.5 x 11, I use both equally but find the flannel extra cozy on the skin, but in general I don’t like flannel fabric much as the print distorts easily ( maybe its just me) Up cycling old flannel pajamasContinue reading “DIY FABRIC ICE/HEAT BAGS”
WOOD BLOCKS FOR ALL AGES
