    What did you do this past weekend? Us – we attended the Farmfair International. Just in time to kick off the CFR week. Farmfair International Horse Ranch Competition and Stock Dog Competition.

    Photos: First Snow 2013

    First snow 2013 looks like winter is here…and I think it’s here to stay! Two days ago the grass was green and the sun was shining. Then 15 cm, or 6 inches dumped down on us. The dogs love the fluffy white stuff. First Snow 2013 Here’s Lily running no the paths though the weighed down trees. Such a little rascal, this one – she eats her body weight in snow each year. I mean, it’s like she thinks it’s a snack or a treat.…

    Tutorial: Bow Tie

    Bow Ties!! On a recent trip to Las Vegas…okay – January…I found some of the most unique bow ties and I know my husband has always wanted one. It wasn’t silk but it still had a sticker price of 178$. Ah, no thanks. In July I decided I would tackle the bow tie. I finally got around to it! The template I use is Martha Stewarts but I DO NOT follow her directions. For one, her directions are wasteful (I find) and the fabric has…

    Halloween Loot Bags

    No Tricks – Only Treats Last year I didn’t plan for Halloween like I should have. On the 30th I realized we didn’t have any candy…on my way home from work I stopped at the 7Eleven and grabbed a bunch of full size chocolate bars (our stores aren’t open 24 hours like in the states…I wish!). I paid just under 30$ for 16 pieces of candy. Sheesh! At least I had something, right? This year – far different story. Our local grocery store has a…

    Tutorial: Neck Cowl

    It’s fall – time to stay warm. The list of things I can make for myself (or for women in general) is endless…but it’s hard to find things to make for a guy. This neck cowl is perfect – as long as you keep the fabric and colours masculine. What You Need 2 pieces of fabric that measure 30 inches by 9.5 inches matching thread serger sewing machine an iron. So – the easier thing to do is not cut the fabric in half –…
