Crafting on the go made easy with the Cricut EasyPress Tote

March 19, 2019

It’s no secret that crafternoons are one my all-time favourite weekend activities, especially ones where you add some wine and cheese, good music or a movie and your friends and turn it into a girls day – what’s not to love?! It’s one of my favourite ways to spend my Sunday afternoons.

I have quite a few friends who are Cricut-crafters as well, so we will pack up all of our machines, pick one person’s house to hang out at and watch some movies all while crafting the afternoon away. The only downside to having a girls craft day is finding creative solutions to transport your craft supplies.

DIY cozy winter hats with removable pom-poms – Cricut iron-on

February 26, 2019

When it comes to coats, especially winter parkas, I always try to find ones that are in fun colours. I was really bummed out when my mustard yellow winter parka needed to retire and I had to buy a new winter jacket this year.

I searched high and low to try and find a jacket in another fun colour, but despite my efforts I couldn’t find anything that wasn’t black, white, grey or burgundy. (Is it just me or are there too many jackets in the same boring colours?!)

I ended up picking up just a plain black parka and after my initial sadness wore off I realized there is a bright side to having a neutral jacket – accessories.

St Patrick’s Day: DIY shamrock coasters, glasses, straws and backdrop – Cricut Maker

February 12, 2019

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I’m a sucker for any sort of themed day or holiday. With Valentine’s Day (literally) right around the corner, I’m already starting to think about what’s next… St Patrick’s Day!

One downside to all these holidays is that sometimes the decorations can get pretty expensive, especially if you’re the one hosting the party. Today’s post brings you 4 different and affordable DIYs to take your St Patty’s bar cart from ordinary to extraordinary! (Too cheesy?)

Note: since there are 4 DIYs in this post, it is an image-heavy post.

Winter trends: the teddy coat

February 6, 2019

(Three posts in one week? I’m on a roll guys!)

As much as I hate winter weather, it is my favourite time of year in terms of style. I really do hate having to dress for the weather, but at the same time I’m all about oversized sweaters, tons of layers, boots and big jackets. If I could get away with wearing turtle necks and knit hats in the summer I honestly would.

I don’t know about you, but one of the winter trends I’ve been obsessed with is the teddy coat.I just love the cozy and cuddly vibes that teddy coats have – and now that I think about it, I guess that is where they get their name from.
