Happy Easter

Today I got to my grandsons Pj's for Easter. I like to be the Gramma that has the fun things and traditions so this year I thought we would do Pj's and Pinata. We were trying to figure out what type of pinata to get because I wasn't into them smashing the Easter bunny for candy! So we thought we would go traditional and do a Donkey. Its full of candy and toys. This is going to be a blast tomorrow!

Hoppy Easter to all!

This is what happens when you work from home...

Sometimes working from your home can have its advantages and disadvantages. The one disadvantage is the kitchen! Periodically I find myself wondering off, leaving a project to go see what's new in the kitchen. So while being distracted by needing a snack I found a book my friend gave me.
 
 
 
 
 
 
I was not looking for a detox book but the recipes looked so yummy! From my last blog I talked about my kalelicious that I got at the Kensington Market. It was so yummy that I thought I would buy some kale and try the Kale Chips Recipe in this book. They looked so yummy and tasted great before going in the oven.....
 
 
 
It was a simple recipe of extra virgin olive oil and sea salt. Tasted rather nice. Well I learned that parchment per is not the same as wax paper and smoked my house up. Got it out before it started to burn. They cooked for about 12mins and tada .
 
 This is what came out! Out of 2 beads of Kale was a cereal bowl of "chips". Well I am not sure I did this right but they did not taste as good cooked! They were extremely dry like dirt! Also made my house stink for hours! I was not thinking that the smell would be so strong because of it being a sea water produce. Not for me. I will stick to eating my Kale in smoothies...
 
Cheers

Sun Filled Weekend

What an amazing weekend to take off (sort of) and just travel around the city. After meeting a lovely lady early Saturday morning for an alteration fitting it was off to visit The Kensington Market. What an amazing artist spot to go and tour around watch the people, shop at Essence of Life Health Food store, and get delicious corn tortillas at Perollas. Then we stopped into Moon Bean coffee shop for lattés and a delicious treat! After that we decided to continue our day with a trip to BJ's Supermarket on Gerrard St. where you can get the best Samosa's. Just to keep with the flow of the craziness of the day I then decided to give my doggies there spring hair cuts!

 
 
 This is what a weekend off of sewing is for me!
How do you spend yours!?

Time to change the Home Decor

Spring has arrived! Now is the time to get your Home Décor items in before it gets to late... There are so many colours and styles to choose from this year... These curtains are for a client who has extremely large wide windows and all 13 of them had to be attached together to make several different sizes of panels . These could have been done custom style but because of time constraints she went with manufactured and we altered accordingly! Either way they look amazing. Feel free to contact me for all your Home Décor needs.

Have a great weekend!
