My orange photo for today is of a pair of slippers that I recently made. This is the yarn that my sister picked out for her slippers, and she totally adores them, but I wasn't the biggest fan of working

This lovely cardinal is embroidered on one of my mum's favourite Christmas pillows. She adores these bright birds, and I fell in love with the fun design and swirls of this pillow when she pulled it out

I recently received some awesome sock yarn as a gift, and I've decided to start making a pair of socks for myself. This one is just a regular vanilla pattern off the top of my head using Patons Kroy yarn

I recently received these fantastic gifts from a friend, and they totally made my day! I've been looking forward to trying out some new sock yarn, so these came at the perfect time and have given me something

When you receive flowers, they need to be shown off in a special place. These ones are in my room now and make me happy every time I see them!

Since winter really hit here in Ottawa, I've been interested in all the different textures and sights that the season has to offer. I decided fairly early on to create a collection for myself of some of

I've started a new project making a pair of fingerless mittens for a friend. Their hands are much bigger than mine, so getting the right sizing is probably going to be the most difficult part of the whole

Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. September 2015. I love the landscape around Las Vegas! I think the intense contrast of the sky and the land lends to the feeling of stark exposure and barrenness, while keeping

Georgetown, Malaysia. August 2017. A matcha latte that I thoroughly enjoyed while out one night in Georgetown. It was too pretty to resist!

After a prolonged break in order to adjust to our new life back in Canada, I am now back and online again! A great deal has happened since I last posted and I intend to eventually get all caught up, but
