Planning our Backyard Oasis
One of the advantages of a new build house is that it is a blank canvas – you have a lot of freedom to create exactly the home you want. The landscaping is no exception. When we bought our house (from plans) I started dreaming about the backyard oasis we could create. It looked a
Create a Bird, Bee and Butterfly Garden
When we moved into our house we decided we wanted to create a bird, bee and butterfly garden. Not only did we want to attract these beautiful creatures (and help save the bees!) but pollinators would help increase the yield of our fruit & veggie gardens – I call that a win-win. Our
Office Makeover Reveal
A little late, but my office makeover for the spring One Room Challenge is done! I was so close to finishing in six weeks this time, but alas, other projects ended up taking priority (which I’ll be sharing soon!). Remember what our office used to look like? Dark! Cluttered!

Office Makeover Week 5: Casey Makes a Mess

How to Sew Curved Quilt Blocks
Some of my favourite patterns include curved quilt blocks. I love curves, and maybe because I started sewing curvy blocks early in my quilting obsession I’ve never been scared of them…but a lot of people are. I get it. Curves can be intimidating. But they don’t have to be! My secret weapon to sewing curves? PINS.
DIY Floating Shelves tutorial
If you checked out our kitchen renovation you might remember that I totally convinced Chris to replace one of our cabinets with floating shelves. I did not think he would go for it, because…you know…cabinet space…but he did! Winner! We decided to do the shelves before we did our tiling so we made sure
