Thrifting Treasures

Here are a few of the things I have picked up recently. a small Samsonite case, some melmac dishes and a laundry hamper.

The quilt top in the first pic was actually my great, great grandma's, and was recently given to me to finish and use :)

Also I got a few picture rails from Ikea to do the forward facing bookshelves for the girls- I like it, I just need a few more so I can put all their books up!

Slow Cooked Tomato& Arugula Crostini 

I went on a Gwyneth binge a few weeks ago and then got busy and neglectful, so before heading to the grocery store this past week I went through the book, picked out some recipes and made sure to get all the ingredients so I would have no excuses.  But lets face it I probably will find other ones :)

I made this recipe for an appetizer for dinner with our neighbours, It was pretty tasty and easy so I will definitely be making these again!

Spring Forward

Happy Monday! This weekend was the dreaded spring forward time change and it's killing me! Luckily this week is March Break so we are able to be a little lazy and take time to adjust.

How was your weekend? Ours was low key, coming off a pretty busy week, Clifford and Kate were away, so it was just me and the two littlest. We were homebodies and got in some baking and pasta making. I was obsessed with making the mini pies that were featured on Skunkboy Creatures, mine were a bit bigger, not nearly as pretty - but totally delicious!

Hope you all have a great week - gearing up to the drink fest that is this Saturday :)

Fun with Modge Podge!

A Craft Challenge with Modge Podge? Sign me up! This month on Craftyminx there is a fun craft challenge. Each week she is posting a craft supply and you do with it whatever your little heart desires!

I had a ba-gillion (ba-gillion is not a number - Happy Ending's anyone? no..) ideas and then ran out of time, so this is my submission - a  little fox collage from scrapbook paper and modge podge on my kobo case (kobo's are the Canadian equivalent to Kindle)

I kinda love it :) You can see some past Modge Podge crafts here and here

Abe's 1st Birthday> Pirate Dolls

I'm making these pirate dolls for the take home at Abe's party for the kiddies :) Although, I kind of like having a whole pirate crew around the house, so I may make more! They are based on the Black Apple Doll pattern and  inspired by the pirate dolls on dee*contruction.
