DIY - Christmas "for your mistle toes"

CNND9HCG7M8X  -I got this idea from Pinterest and thought it was a cute gift for friends/ extended family.  On Pinterest the "for your mistle toes" note was attached to the nail polish, but I liked the idea of putting it in a little clear plastic bag and finishing it off with a bow.

Painting - watercolours

I found these as I was organizing my room, they are small watercolours I made while in university. There are around 50 in total, and chose 7 to share! Each one is either a depiction of something that happened to me, someone I knew, or something that was said during a conversation that really stood out for me. 

Art - what does it mean

Flying and crying

Sleeping and snow plow

Fire - what would you grab

Dentist - no coverage

Best kind of party attire

DIY - Birch Candles

At my parents cottage there was a fallen birch tree, so I gathered some of the wood and made these tea-light candle holders!  First I used the mitre saw to cut the wood to a desired length, then used a drill with a 1 inch drill bit to make a hole at the top for the tea-light.

Finished Birch Candles :)

Design- T-shirt

Here's a T-shirt I designed! Inspired by migrating birds in the fall.

Painting a School Logo

In November I had the pleasure of painting the school logo for Luke Mettaweskum School in Nemaska, Quebec on their gymnasium wall. I am very pleased with how it turned out and happy that now the students can show off their pride during school events and tournaments. 

Finally done painting the school logo!

DIY - Wood Earrings

DIY - earrings made out of a maple tree branch. 

Used a branch cut from fall pruning. Then used a miter saw to cut the branches - so that it's a nice smooth cut. I used a small nail to hammer in a hole into the branch piece and then used wire to attach it to the fish hook earring.

DIY - Christmas Flower Arrangement

DIY - Made 4 of these flower arrangements as house warming presents for Christmas 2011. I used  small boxes from the dollar store that I lined with plastic so that the water doesn't leak through, oasis foam, red roses, white button mums, red spray carnations, spruce and cypress tree branches, pine cones that I spray painted gold, and red and gold small ornaments (found at the dollar store). I attached wire to the pine cones and hot glued wire to the ornaments so I could stick them into the oasis foam. The spruce and cypress branches and pine cones I found outside - why waste your money buying them when they're right outside ;)
