Sewing: Racerback Dress
So, about 2 weeks ago I was at a BBQ and this one girl had on this awesome racerback dress. I didn’t know her and she was busy with her two kids, so I didn’t want to intrude. Yes, lululemon. Drats. Why? Because it’s likely sold out! I fell in love with lulu’s in the sun dress. It’s adorable and functional. Could I find it? No. What did I do? I made one (well, kinda). What You Need a racerback tank a skirt you like…

Recipe: Banana Chocolate Chip Nut Muffins
Banana nut muffins are delicious – this time, I added in some chocolate chips. These banana chocolate chip nut muffins are so yummy. I started with my mom’s banana nut muffin recipe – it’s delicious all on it’s own. Oddly, though, here in Alberta I can’t get the tops as dark as she did in Ontario. Different oven, maybe. Different altitude or climate. Who knows. Either way, they taste just as good. Ingredients 1 cup of sugar stick of butter 2 large eggs 3 large…

Recipe: Chocolate Banana Donuts
A few weeks ago I purchased about 12 bananas and let them rot. This is one recipe I was excited to try – chocolate banana donuts, or well, sort of donuts. This was my first time using my donut tin and I leaned a lot! Tip one, don’t fill them too full (or very full at all, for that matter). Ingredients 3 medium large ripe bananas 1/2 cup of melted salted butter 3/4 cup of brown sugar 1 large egg 1/2 cup of peanut butter…

Project: Boler
Something new and exciting is happening here at 3ten.ca! About 2 years ago we purchased a 1972 Boler – a fiberglass vintage trailer made in Canada. It’s awesome. We are resorting it to fit us. Totally custom. Totally rad. Boler The process is long, complex and more work than either of us thought possible; however, once you start you can’t really go back. You could quit, but where’s the fun in that? These two pictures are what she looked like in the beginning. We’ve only…
