Valentines Day Cards : Cute Animals Edition


Do you remember how much fun Valentines Day was when you were a kid? When you got to eat cupcakes in class, make mailboxes for your cards out of pink and red construction paper, and spend hours picking out the perfect set of Valentines cards to give to your whole class? I don't send a lot of Valentines these days, other than to my sweetie the boy, but I do love Valentines cards! Personally I have a weakness for punny, nerdy cards starring adorable animals, so here are a few of my favourites in case you're still in need of a card for a special someone!

I don't know if any of you have ever watched the show Twin Peaks, but if you haven't, you really should--murder, intrigue, love, madness, creepy visions, tables full of donuts --it has it all, and is one of the best shows I've watched in a long time. Luckily a lot of other people love it too, and have created some awesome art that you can look at and make yourself. Hope you enjoy some of  my favourites!

29 Leaps: Comment Love

DSCF1690

I thought for something fun to do for the 29 Leaps project (see my post about it here) that I'd share the comment love to 29 of my fellow bloggers. I'm usually more of a reader of blogs than a commenter, unless I really force myself, although I know how inspiring it is for me to get comments on my posts. So I've made some comments on all of these blogs in the few weeks (this took longer than I thought it would for sure)  to help share the love! If you're inspired to do the same, please let me know in the comments!

I won't lie, it was a bit difficult commenting on 29 different blogs, and I even took the last few weeks to do it. But I know I appreciate the comment love, and I hope others did as well:) I'll also be sharing my adventures from our mini vacation this week, so stay tuned!

The Last Unicorn - Handmade Lovelies


































Have any of you seen the movie The Last Unicorn? I have it on today as I'm working away at home, and am remembering how much I loved it when I was a kid. I started looking around to see if anyone had made any items inspired by the movie. Here are some of my favourites.

Modded My Little Pony --amazing !

A Little Sherlock Holmes Love

I realized lately that A LOT of my reading, show-watching and movie-watching has revolved around Sherlock Holmes. I've recently read The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes, and the boy and I went to see the new Sherlock Holmes movie last night, which we'd been waiting to see together, since we'd gone to see the first one when I first moved to Guelph, which was just a little over two years ago this month. Time certainly flies!

At any rate, I'm going to share some of my favourite Sherlock Holmes related images and crafts, since I'm so obsessed of late!

Some of the book covers and art  for Sherlock Holmes books are amazing

Plus, Robert Downey is pretty full of awesomeness!




I've also been watching the BBC Series, Sherlock on Netflix, and it was pretty darn good as well!




Also, what's not to love about Sherlock Holmes inspired crafts? I love this felted soap, detective beagle pillow and moustachioed cowl !

Thanksgiving Table- Inspiration Ideas

We're having a person or two over for Thanksgiving dinner this year, and I've been thinking of some ways to make the table pretty that won't take me a lot of time and that express my love of all things fall! I've done some pretty fancy ones at my parents house (tried to find the pictures, but failed for today--will hopefully share on the weekend) but simple will definitely be better this time, especially due to the size of my table! Here are a few ideas I've found so far for inspiration.











What's your favourite way to dress up a table for a fancier dinner?

Happy October! Free Autumn Desktop Background

I was feeling really inspired by the coming of autumn the other day as well as wanting to spruce up my desktop background, so I thought I'd make up a quick desktop background out of one of my recent photos. I'm a sucker for backgrounds with quotes, and I thought this one was fitting! The quote is "Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower" from Albert Camus.



Click the link above to go the correct background size. Save the image to your computer and set as your desktop background. Then enjoy!

Tea Time : Sickie Edition

I'm sick at home today with a cold that has knocked Zen and I out, and am mostly just drinking tea. So needless to say, tea has been on my mind today. So I thought I'd share some pretty tea related pins from Pinterest.
