Candy Corn Scissors Pouch

I will never apologize for loving candy corn. I look forward to candy corn season every year and keep a stash in the house. It didn't occur to me to check and see if I could get candy corn in New Zealand until the season should have started--you can't. If I had realized this sooner, we probably wouldn't be here. Well, we all know that's an exaggeration, but this is still a big deal! I'm getting a bit of my candy corn fix by making as many candy corn crafts as I possibly can, like this fun candy ...

Rainbow Row Houses Tea Towel Embroidery

So much of my crafting inspiration comes directly from my travels. I've never travelled and *not* come home with fresh ideas that were a direct result of where I'd been. Whether it's unique craft supplies, skylines, or embracing a new culture, creativity and travel go hand in hand. This rainbow row houses tea towel embroidery is just one example of how I've brought our travels into our home. This post contains affiliate links. Supplies: tea towel (preferable in a neutral colour--these ... Read More

Sir Edmund Hillary Quote Embroidery Hoop

Sir Edmund Hillary Embroidery Hoop

You would be hard pressed to find anyone in New Zealand who doesn't know who Sir Edmund Hillary is--he's on the $5 bill! I will admit that I didn't know who he was until I got interested in Mt Everest during my late 20s--Hillary, along with his sherpa Tenzing Norgay, became the first confirmed climbers to reach the summit in 1953. That alone would have made him an icon in New Zealand, but he went on to be the first person to reach both poles and summit Everest. He was well known for his ... Read More

Felt Ice Cream Cone Scissors Pouch

Felt Ice Cream Cone Scissors Pouch

I've never been much of an ice cream eater--until the awesomeness that is New Zealand ice cream became my norm and now I might have a problem. I used to be adamant that ice cream is only for summers, but it's fully winter here and I had a bowl of cookies and cream last night (with chocolate sauce) (and a marshmallow). This fun Felt Ice Cream Cone Scissors Pouch is making me super happy right now with far fewer calories than my bowl last night. This post contains affiliate ... Read More

Statue of Liberty Embroidery Hoop

Statue of Liberty Embroidery Hoop

My first visit to New York City was for a school trip during my senior year of high school. We did all of the standard school trip stops, including visiting the Statue of Liberty. I absolutely fell in love--so much so that I returned for university the next year. My school was downtown and I spent many an evening wandering down to Battery Park  and just watching the Statue of Liberty stand proud. If I were able to visit NYC tomorrow just for a day, I would go say hi to Lady Liberty. I ... Read More

City Fireworks Hoop Art

City Fireworks Hoop Art

I love (and greatly miss!) summer fireworks. There's something really special about getting together as a community or neighborhood and watching the explosions of colour in the sky. Some of my favourite fireworks memories are of watching the spectacular show Pittsburgh always put on in the middle of the city. They would be set off from a barge in the river and the combination of tall buildings, booming light, and oldies playing is something that has stuck with me. I made this fun City Fireworks ...

Welcome

about me

I’ve wanted to be an archaeologist, in theatre, a judge, and to run a museum. While I try to decide what I want to be when I grow up, I spend my time crafting and exploring the world. Read More…
