I have a lots of jobs.
On Tuesdays and Wednesdays, I moonlight as a jewellery maker at La Belle Dame in Flat River, PEI. And while we specialize in memorial jewellery to heal the hearts of mothers, fathers, other family members and friends, we offer a beautiful selection of customizable pieces as heirlooms.
Here are a few beautiful options!
Initial and Crystal Sterling Tag Necklace
Tender Heart Necklace
Family Meditations Bracelet
Simplicity Cuff
Most of the pieces can be customized with hand-stamped initials, names and/or birth stone crystals.
So, with Mother’s Day is just around the bend, be sure to show Mum you Love her with a special, custom, handcrafted gift straight from the heart!

…well, that’s a fib – I’ve done quite a few DIY projects over the year, but this is the first project I will be blogging about!
For this project, you’ll need:
– skirt, any length
– elastic
– thread
– about 30 minutes!
I bought this 80’s/90’s pleated and frumpy skirt a few years ago at Value Village knowing that I loved the material and would, one day, find a moment to revamp it to fit my style. I had ambitiously cut it to a more up-to-date length, then left the project for one reason or another leaving this skirt with a raw edge. I stumbled upon it when going through some of my sewing items last week and decided it was high time to give it the fresh look it (and I) had been waiting for!
Though I don’t have an actual ‘before’ shot taken at its full length, here’s what it started of as when I revisited it this week. Just try to imagine what it looked like as an ankle-length skirt; something a bit like this.
Step #1: Cut the skirt to an inch longer than desired length. Turn the hem up an inch and sew all the way around the bottom leaving only a small gap.
Step #2: Measure a desired length of elastic to comfortably fit around your thighs. Put a safety pin on one end of the elastic and use it to help you string the elastic into the gap and through the hem. Make sure you pin the opposite end to the outside of the gap so you don’t lose it within the hem.
Step 3: Sew the ends of the elastic together and sew the small gap closed.
Step #4: Practise your gracious acceptance speech, because you’re going to be getting a lot of compliments!!

What a fun afternoon!!
I had the opportunity to work with one fabulous and beautiful model, and two fantastic and talented photographers on an outdoor set. It was a very crisp -11 degrees C, -19C with the windchill, and our brave model worked through the cold to deliver a gorgeous product.

I worked on such a fun set this morning with photographer Matt Zambonin and model/roller derby goddess Tammy MacEachern! For the makeup, I was inspired by the fabulous new Red Rock ‘N Roller Derby crew and what I imagine these tough ladies are going to be enduring over the next few months with elbows flying while skating at high speeds. Showing distinct individuality, each of the girls comes up with a derby name and signature style of clothing and skating.
You can check out more info on their facebook page.
I’ll be posting photos from today’s shoot as soon as I can!

Days like today are my favourite!! Crisp, cool air and warming sunbeams. The perfect temperature to clear your lungs while your winter jacket and gloves can keep you toasty warm.
It’s the first winter we’re experiencing in our new home, and it’s days like this that make me so happy to be a country girl!
Here’s what my day looked like…
