DIY Doghouse – Keep your pets warm this winter

Looking for DIY doghouse plans for a larger breed dog? This DIY dog house (with free building plans), is perfect for our Berner and would easily fit labs, golden retrievers and other breeds in the 100lb range.

London has introduced new bi-laws where anyone caught leaving their dogs outside for an extended time in the cold can and will be fined. I am 100% on board with this – I abhor animal cruelty – BUT Miss Lacey is a Bernese MOUNTAIN […]

Handmade Gift Challenge – Who doesn’t need a charging station?

What do you gift someone that has everything? Chances are a DIY charging station (or two) would be a welcome addition to most homes and for most anyone over the age of 8. Today I’m sharing the plans as part of the #HandmadeGiftsChallenge on Instagram.

🎶 Good morning, good morning! 🎶 (in my best Debbie Reynolds voice)

DIY King Size Bed

Take it from me, building a bed – even a DIY king size bed with upholstered panels – is NOT as difficult as you might think. With plans from Rogue Engineer as my jumping off point, I was able to build this Rachel Ray knock-off for about $255 US!

Do-It-Yourself Rummoli Board

Do you remember Rummoli from when you were a child? I used to play with my grandparents and it was a treasured memory I’d like to revisit with my kids. This DIY Rummoli board is made with ¼” mdf and some spray paint, and will last for years – so they too can share the fun with their kids!

My parents recently brought out their Rummoli board from 1940. It’s a Copp Clark paper version that my Step-Dad used to play […]

Make Your Own Beeswax Wraps

Canada is implementing (or trying to implement) a ban on certain ‘single-use plastics’ by 2021; things like straws, plastic plates, cutlery, bags and stir sticks to name a few.

Side Yard Surprise

This side yard makeover “before and after” isn’t very dramatic – but it wasn’t very expensive either – and sometimes elbow grease is all you need to transform a space.

This was the side yard at my parent’s house. Like any side yard, it houses pipes and hoses and the air conditioner as well as miscellaneous outdoor items that wouldn’t fit in the garage. (I’m pretty sure I tipped the garbage can over – not my parents – this will […]

DIY Guinea Pig Hide

Using a few pieces of scrap ¼” plywood and a bit of imagination, my daughter and I created this ADORABLE DIY guinea pig hide VW bus for our fur-babies!We have been having so much fun over here!

We have two new additions to our family: Chanel (Tri-colour) and Pixie – Miss Maddie’s new guinea pigs and they are ADORABLE!

This started because Maddie wanted to foster dogs – and I told her we absolutely would – but I needed to get some […]
