Best Dog Ever! (a DIY photo frame)
I have the best dog ever. Actually, I’ve always had the best dog(s) ever – every single one of them – I’m using “Best” as a class, not a singular achievement. I mean, don’t we all have the best dog ever? Time to celebrate it – and use up a bit of scrap wood in […]
Fallen Log Succulent Planter
I’m so excited to share today’s post – it is one that has been on my wish list to make for 3 years now. THREE YEARS! It was about 3 years ago that the city cut down some dead trees on the walkway behind my house. Look at that! I walk by this everyday as […]

Small Closet Organization (on a budget)
Miss Chloë got ripped off in the closet department – but in our defence, we didn’t know we were having two kids when we built. As it was our builder hadn’t incorporated a linen closet into our home, so we had to use part of – what later became – Chloë’s closet. It’s a single […]
