This is where I’ll be today - working on projects and updating my website. Feel free to bring by a coffee whenever works for your schedule 😉

Why have only 3 projects on the go when you can have a million? Here’s a preview of a baby blanket I’m making to donate to Peace Arch Hospital who will pass it along to a mother and baby in need. It won’t be ready in time for Mother’s Day but one day I hope it makes a new mom and her baby feel extra special and cozy 💛

The product of yesterday’s patience - sunsets and squiggles

This outside in the sun 🙌🏼

I don’t know what happened to this post from earlier but here it is again 🤷🏼‍♀️ My favourite natural/low toxicity/organic skin care products are up on the blog today! I wrote a bit about why I switched up my routine and about how much I loooove all these products!

Today marks the 5 year anniversary of the clothing factory collapse in Bangladesh that killed over 1100 workers.

I’ve been making an effort this past year to shop as ethically and sustainably as possible. It’s been hard being a student with no job or income but I’ve been thrifting and consigning in an effort to vote with my dollars (or lack thereof) to end fast fashion. I’ve also tried my own hand at making clothes (waaaay harder than I thought it would be). •
I just wanted to bring the #fashionrevolution to your attention. If you can’t afford the 100% ethical/sustainable clothes you can still thrift, consign and, if you’re feeling extra crafty, make your own clothes! If nothing else, just make educated decisions ✌🏼

The hammer. An essential part of most DIY projects. Including soap making.

There’s a super easy DIY up on the blog today showing you how to make cotton rope baskets (as seen in my last post). You know where to find the link!

My room is vacuumed, my coffees been drunk, job applications have been sent out, the rain is pouring, and there’s a new TGIF post up on the blog. Happy Friday!

Blog edits, fresh coffee, good tunes. No better way to start a week of vacation 🙌🏼 #mybedmycoffee

The fun things about creativity is that it changes with the seasons. Winter means knitting and making things that cozify a space, spring means brightening and lightening 🐥🌸🌷

Moodboarding for a new look on the blog. I’m in the very early stages of change making but I’m having so much fun applying the things I’ve learned over the past 11 months to my own life and designs. #nerdalert
