PROJECTS. All Natural Lip Balm. The week leading up to the new year wasn't exactly how I had pictured it.
It was the last week of the boys winter break. I had envisioned walks around downtown looking at the lights, taking down the Christmas tree together, continuing our holiday baking marathon and maybe even a little post Christmas mall browsing. But alas, none of those things happened. The flu happened. Or rather, what I guess must have been the flu. Thankfully, I had made a big batch of lip balm the week before Christmas to give as little handmade gifts to my girlfriends. GOLD LEAF PAPER MACHE BOWLS. So, I think this might be my favorite DIY to date.

Posted by Taylor Oakes The past 2 years have been pretty expensive for me.
I graduated school, moved out of two different apartments in Toronto, spent a year and a half doing long distance in my relationship, moved across the country, bought (another) dog, bought a house & paid off 4 years worth of student loans. *exhale* So yeah, needless to say, last Christmas I gave my family love (aka: nothing).

HOW TO: ILLUSTRATE IN TEN STEPS. 7th May 2013 I’ve always been intrigued (and slightly baffled) by the process by which illustrators create their beautiful imagery, so I’m very happy that one of my all time favourite artists Kelly Smith (aka Birdy & Me) has agreed to shed some light on her process – from the first idea all the way through to the finished piece.
For those of you out there not familiar with her work, Kelly has the type of talent that most of us can only dream about – the ability to create whimsical and yet life like imagery that merges fashion and beauty to perfection. In short she draws life as we would all like to live it, full of flowers, pastels hues and perfectly tousled waves. Her illustrations have been commissioned by an awe inspiring number of magazines and brands, including Vogue, Net-a-Porter, H&M and Elle, and she is just about to publish the second book in a series entitled Sticker Fashionista.

And it seems many designers would agree – given the amount of raffia that adorned heels, clutches, waists, pompoms, pencil skirts and just about everything else on the S/S12 runways. I love that it adds a subtle tribal accent to a classic outfit, and the texture is great for making jewellery and embellishing clothes. A couple of months ago I made a pair of raffia soled flatform sneakers and had plenty of raffia left over. DIY CIRCLE SKIRT. 26th July 2012 Another half hour DIY sewing project coming right up!

To make a 2-tone necklace, cut a long piece of rope and wrap two different colors of embroidery thread around its own bobbin. Tie a starter knot along with the two colored threads you are using, leaving at least 3 inches of slack, Tape down the slack to a flat surface or safety pin it something that will help keep it in place (feeling nostalgic yet?). Lay the color that isn’t being used (shown here in purple) in your left hand, along with the rope, and hold them taut. Take the active color (shown here in red) in your right hand, pass it over the rope, loop it under and back through the opening. So Sew Easy Sewing, free patterns, sewing clothes and accessories.
