Runs on Coffee and Cream

I'm having a hard time believing that January is just about over. This month has been all about new things and new beginnings; we've been organizing and decluttering, I've been buying new fabric and starting new sewing projects for cons, and I'm trying to organize my life with an in-depth planner.

New fabric!

More new fabric! How great is the Homer one?

The start of my addiction to planner stickers.

A winter walk at Bell Park.

That's a frozen Ramsey Lake in front of me.

The turtles are getting so big.

Logan being super adorable but a really bad assistant in the craft room. He believes all fabric and envelopes are for him to lie on.

I hope January was a great month for you! I'm excited to see what February has in store.

September flew by but I'm doing everything I can to enjoy this season. I'm eating all things pumpkin, baking, burning fall scented candles, and snuggling on the couch with kitties.

Sunset down at Pier 4 in Hamilton.

A Pumpkin Spice cupcake to start the day!

I'm so happy I found these chocolates. They were delicious and now they're gone from stores. I can't find them again!

Another little pumpkin for my collection.

I forgot I bought these last year during a sale. The vanilla pumpkin marshmallow candle is easily one of my favourite scents.

New fabric for upcoming shows.

Some easy and delicious cookies.

Getting fancy for a wedding.

How cute is this tiny personal-sized wine bottle?!

September was a great month. Now to see what October holds!

Hello! Since my last Etsy update I've been busy taking more pictures and posting new products up on Etsy. Pouches and totes are filled up in my shop!

Hello! I hope your weekend is going great! I'm here to share with you my fandom favourites that I'm loving this week.

1. TeeTurtle just released the cutest Toothless t-shirt design. It makes my heart melt.

3. Dooney and Bourke released their Star Wars: The Force Awakens bags for Disney and, oh my, I want them all!



5. Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens game has been announced and arrives in stores this June. I love the Lego games and since I loved The Force Awakens so much, I cannot wait for this game!


What fandom news are you loving this week?

I've been trying to use up scraps that I have all over my craft room for pouches and cat toys. At this point, I almost need to order more zippers. I sold so many pouches last year and I have some major restocking to do.

With Fan Expo being over, my sewing has slowed down a bit. However, I know Christmas is around the corner so I need to keep my Etsy shop updated and there's the possibility I might do a couple of smaller holiday craft shows too.

I've been slowly adding new items to my Etsy shop. Keep checking in randomly for more new items!


I've also bought some new craft supplies which is always such a lovely feeling. Receiving an envelope stuffed with zippers in all the colours of the rainbow makes me happy. Plus, the new fabric I ordered is too amazing!



Keep checking my Etsy shop and Facebook page for updates!

Last weekend has me excited for other Summer plans we have this year with family and friends. I hope you had a good weekend!

What to buy? I'm so excited to get my hands on some new fabrics. A new year is upon us and there's lots of craft shows and comic conventions coming up. I'm beyond excited to start sewing again for these shows! Though, there are a few other items that are tempting me...

I started sewing about 6 years ago and since then I've had a crazy addiction to fabric and patterns. I could spend all my paypal earnings in etsy fabric sellers' shops and I pick up every sheet and fabric that looks like it's from the 60s or 70s that I find. A few years back my obsession with buying vintage, second-hand sheets hit me hard... sheets from my childhood, sheets my brothers had, sheets I wish I had. I currently have an overflowing, bursting at the seams book shelf full of fabrics. I can't pass anything up, especially the vintage, second-hand items, because you never know if you'll find it again.

I recently went across the border for shopping so I had to hit up Jo-anns for some character fabric. It's hard to find them in Canada.



Lately, I've been hitting the jackpot finding sheets as well!




Once Christmas is over I have to start sewing like crazy... I want to start building my inventory for the 2 large comic conventions I do in the Spring and Summer. I'm so excited to start fresh in 2012 and really push myself in my sewing.
