Cross Canada Etsy: Toronto, Ontario

Scott went to school in Toronto, so he is a lot more familiar with Canada's biggest city than I am. I feel like it's the New York of Canada. Big and bustling and busy, full of culture and creativity. I am not a city girl at heart and I max out at about a weekend in the city, too many people for me...but I always enjoy the time that we spend there

Pauper's Bounty

I am so in love with this!  The designs here are playful, feminine, and budget minded!

Beautiful silk ribbon embroidery on a variety of mediums! Plus Bumblebees make me think of spring.

The Vintage Cabin

Really interesting vintage home decor and accessories. The kind of pieces you just don't find anywhere else.

Peculiar Potions

The packaging is what drew me to this handmade bodycare company!

Lies & Pixel People

I lied, I am not done with 2011. I don't know how but I totally forgot about this Christmas present until I was scrolling through my cell phone pics (what cell phones aren't the professional way to capture your work? Only lazy people do it that way? I swear I hardly ever do it...no that was another lie).

I made these pixel people, inspired by a friend who was making them as gifts, for my sister in law..same one I made the Rosalie Scarf for..There was a definite theme to her gifts? If you picked up on it you can't lie about never having seen Twilight. I just outed you. 

This little Bella and Edward were framed in a mini embroidery hoop for her to use as a tree ornament or whatever she wants really. They were really fun to plan and make - Martha did a whole thing on cross stitching pixel people, so you can learn more there!

Crochet Moccasins

More from that cheapy pattern book I picked up!  

I used felt to make the top pattern and sewed it on.

Button Fish

Put together a little collage for the babies room. 

Embroidered fish with button heads...kinda regretting putting the little smiles on there...should of stuck with just the eyes, but oh well!  They're still pretty cute :)
