the button on the front came from a tin of old buttons that came from my grandfather's house. I love sorting through old buttons! Lots of treasures to be found.
The collar in action. And a Christmas Tree!

never grow up
I hope everyone had a great holiday season! I'm back to work after a relaxing 4-day weekend at my parents' house up east. While I was there I put in a request to my personal seamstress (mom) to see if she could help me out with a detachable peter pan collar. These sweet round collars are everywhere and a necklace-style one is an easy way to add one to any tops or dresses you have with a crew-style neckline.

chai latte
I came across this recipe on Pinterest (where else?) for instant chai latte mix. This would make an easy Christmas gift for co-workers and acquaintances. It would look especially cute packaged in a mason jar with a square of fabric on top, and my custom tag (see below) tied on with twine.
Ingredients
1 cup Nonfat Dry Milk Powder
1 cup Powdered Non-dairy Creamer
1 cup French Vanilla Flavored Powdered Non-dairy Creamer
1-½ cup White Sugar
2-½ cups Unsweetened Instant Tea
2 teaspoons Ground Ginger
1 Tablespoon Ground Cinnamon
1 teaspoon Allspice
1 teaspoon Nutmeg
1 teaspoon Ground Cloves
1 Tablespoon Ground Cardamom
½ teaspoons White Pepper
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine all ingredients and mix well.
In a blender or food processor, blend 1 cup at a time, until mixture is the consistency of fine powder.
Transfer the blended mix to a new bowl and continue processing the remainder of the ingredients until all of the mixture is finely ground.
Stir to recombine the processed ingredients.
To serve...
I uploaded a printable PDF here. It's 6 labels on an 8.5x11" sheet, with light grey lines for cut lines.

candy apple
Remember the Kijiji chairs I posted about? these ones?
I love them but I don't love the rusty old metal legs. So...
Much better, huh? I only did one since it was starting to rain. And it turns out spraypaint fumes don't make you feel too hot when you have a hangover. Who knew?
