Landscaping part deux

| at 10:34 AM


Well I'm starting to visualize what my front entryway is going to look like once this project is done. The bottoms of the walls are being banged in, levelled and placed and things are starting to move! Maybe it will be done by the beginning of next week? hmmm.. doubtful, but I'm hoping :D


ps.. my neighbor behind me is starting to paint their vinyl again. Last year left it painted only to about 10ft above ground level. Leaving the back of the house 2 colors (beige & grey) the sides grey and the front 2 colors also (an atrocious mix of yellow & grey). Hideous..

Mayhem on Cedarwood..

Labels: , , | at 9:46 AM




Hey ~

It's not very often I write about myself, but there is quite a bit happening over here at the moment. We've planned two huge projects for the year - the first being our front landscaping, second being our kitchen (to be done late October).

So the landscaping work finally started yesterday after many delays due to our MISERABLE summer weather (BOOO!!). OMG - I didn't realize it was going to be so disruptive to my lifestyle. We have NO front lawn (we are regrading it), we've taken out many small/mangy bushes and are replacing them, and worst of all there is no access to the front door (thankfully there is the garage door). Our garage door is open full time so the workers can access the hose & freezer for the food/beverages, so I'm not so comfortable leaving the house for extended trips with the kids.

I'm not even sure if the mailman (or woman - a vacation sub) will want to deliver my mail (I wouldn't).. hopefully she'll leave it at the garage for me (crossing fingers). I have lots of goodies coming this week and don't want to miss it - one being a fabric for an order on hold.

I can't wait for it to be done! It will be so BEAUTIFUL! yay!

I'm rockin' a new idea.. items of the day!

| at 6:03 AM


Good morning to all my followers.. here's a little incentive to follow me on Twitter.. I'll be posting items of the day on a discount. Enjoy the savings? Why not purchase another item and save on shipping?


My first item of the day is the subdued coaster set in Erin McMorris's Wildwood fabric of Forest in green. It is beautiful & classical.. it might not stand out in the sea of wild popping colors of my store, but it is truly one of my favorites!


Happy Shopping!!

Cozy Coasters

| at 7:00 AM



Hey everyone! Its a beautiful day here in Montreal. I've been sitting outside enjoying popsicles with the kids (mmmmm... and yes it is only 10am)


Well I've been concentrating my biz lately to focus mainly on comfort items... eye pillows (mmm dreamy) and coasters (ahhhhh... coffee/tea). This is not to say I'm not interested in other items. These are just the things that I've been whipping up lately.

I've been contemplating wether or not to sell my coasters in sets of two or four. I'm worried that sets of four might price wise be a little daunting.. maybe people would rather in sets of two so they can mix & match, or maybe they only do coffee with one friend? Maybe I should offer both? Any thoughts would be appriciated.

Well heres to summer - which seems to be here (at last)!!!!

Cheers,

Tara

Pillow Madness!

| at 9:14 AM



So I finally got around to working on a project for myself and I'm so happy and excited with the results. My husband even loved it??!! Weird, usually he couldn't care less or questions me about how much it cost him (LOL).


Anyhow, these fab pillow covers were a cinch to make, totally sparked up the room and were made in gorgeous fabric which I ordered months ago, but was afraid to cut.

If you need any advice on how to make these envelope pillow covers just check out this site:
