I have found that my kids ask a heck of a lot of questions but they ultimately come down to three basic answers--yes, no, and maybe. Often that answer depends on how much coffee I've had when they first ask. I created this fun Yes No Maybe Mother's Day SVG that is perfect on a coffee mug (or anything else your kids may see!). Add in the checkmark if you want or just point to the answer as you sip away. Make sure you head to the bottom of the tutorial to find out how to win a Cricut Explore Air 2 ... Read More

Handmade Gifts Inspired by Travel
I love travel and I love handmade and I know I can't be the only one. It's fun to get souvenirs and gifts during your travels or when someone brings you one back, but I think it's extra special to actually make a travel-inspired gift. I've rounded up some of my favourite handmade gifts inspired by travel that I've made over the last few years. Any of these would be great for the traveler in your life! I'm obviously madly in love with Scotland and I know so many other people are, too (and ... Read More
Yarn-Laced Snowflake Ornament
Sometimes the simplest ornaments look the best on the tree. I love this Yarn-Laced Snowflake Ornament because the Cricut Maker does most of the work and my kids can help put it together. The most difficult part of making the ornament is choosing which colour sparkly yarn to use (and it has to be sparkly!)! This post contains affiliate links.

Mind the Gap London Underground Felt Ornament

I wanted a piece of London on our Christmas Tree and made this fun Mind the Gap London Underground Felt Ornament to remind me of London when I'm not there. This post contains affiliate ... Read More
Faux Leather and Felt Candle Ornament
Candles are forever connected to Christmas Eve for me. When I was growing up, our Christmas Eve service always ended with everyone singing Silent Night while the lights were turned down and our candles were lit. While we used paper wax catchers and not fancy candle holders, my Faux Leather and Felt Candle Ornament brings a touch of sentimentality to our Christmas tree. It even sways gently, so the candle does the felt equivalent of flickering. This post contains affiliate ... Read More
Pom Pom Trim and Sequin Pillowcases
We can't get enough bright and cheerful colours right now. The girls asked for some new colourful bedding, but as we're in this flat temporarily we don't want to go too crazy with that kind of purchase. I did, however, make them these super cheerful (and easy!) personalized Pom Pom Trim and Sequin Pillowcases that really brighten up their bedding and room. This post first appeared on the Expo International blog. Supplies: plain white pillowcases Franky Pea Pod 3/8" Pom Fringe Trim ... Read More
