    • ✂️ Let the making begin ✂️ . I have 1️⃣ week to make two backpacks with these fabrics! . I’ve hoarded this @missmelodymiller mustang print long enough and it’s time to let it become something beautiful, a #toddlerbackpack in kid size by @madebyrae . . And the Alice print I meant to sew up last year but somehow never got around to it, but the plans for it are still the same, a #londonbackpack by @lbgstudio ... same style as her current backpack, which she loves. . . . #sewing #sewsewsew #alwayssewing #mamamade #makersgonnamake #sewcialists #sewistsofinstagram #backtoschoolsewing #isew #handmade
    • A little house update for those wondering. It was a slow July, where the roof took us what seemed like forever to get done, thanks to a really busy schedule. But by the last week (and the first week of this month) we were installing windows too 🙌🏼 Right now the only open spot remains that one window opening above the garage so we can bring material in. . We’ve also gotten our electrical and data roughed in for the upstairs and are hoping to start on plumbing and hvac shortly. . We’ve partially passed our framing inspection (we’re doing it in stages) and have been cleared to vapour barrier and insulate the attic. Which means we’ll also be able to start on properly closing in the house by doing soffits and then siding. . Long story short, we have so many pieces going at once right now. But it feels like we’re at the hump, and that we’ll be on the downhill home soon 🙏🏼🤗🏡 . . . . #houseremodel #homesweethome #homerenovation #housebeautiful #houserenovation #secondstoryaddition #OCNrenovates #building #construction #renovation #renovationproject #buildingahome
    • This month is blouse month for #projectSEWIT ... and if I’m being honest, we’re halfway through the month and I’m just thinking about it now. My sewing (for me) has been a bit slow lately, plus blouses have me stumped. Does it need to be a button up? What is considered a blouse?!? And with all that said, what pattern options are your favourites? Any blouse patterns that you guys intend to make? . Just going to drop this inspo here for you guys (and me 😅) . . . #sewing #slowfashion #handmadewardrobe #isew #sewistsofinstagram #handmade #makersgonnamake #sewcialists #sewsewsew #sewist #sew #sewingproject #sewcialist
    • I’m in Québec this weekend on our annual summer trip. And one of them came up with the idea of biking Old Québec, I’ve been doing a lot of biking again lately and this just made my heart sing! We rented some bikes yesterday and took off! We made it all the way to the Parc de la Chute-Montmorency (a 14km trek) and a little bit further even, we wound up doing a 30 km round trip. We had some hiccups, but man this bike path was awesome and made it go so smoothly. . I also opted for a rear mounted bike seat for Josie and man that was a game changer! I enjoyed that way more the pulling a bike trailer, so much less weight and resistance 👌🏼. . Definitely want to do more long hauls like that with them again. . . . #biking #makingmemories #gooutside #outdoors #quebec #cycling #cyclotourisme #childhoodunplugged #wildandfree #bikelife #outdooradventures #summer #thegreattrail #coolforTGT #parfaitpourLGS @thegreattrail

    • “I don’t have enough fingers for my digits” he says to me this morning. Happy 11th birthday to this guy 🎉🎂 . . Still our ‘athlete’ of the family... all the sports, all the time, but like every year, hockey is his ultimate passion. I swear I listen to all things hockey alllllll year long! 🤪 This past year has also really brought on an interest for gaming and tech (I don’t know how many times I’ve been asked to buy computer parts so he could try to build something 🙈). . Keep being you bud, even if you can drive me absolutely crazy with all your ideas and passions 😂😘🤗❤️
    • We got this 🙌🏼 It’s Monday... we just got home from the weekend and I have a crazy week ahead of me... but just like these two have got each other’s back while tubing yesterday, I can handle this week right 😅😅 . . . . #documentyourdays #shamoftheperfect #wevegotthis #lifeonthewater #tubing #onthelake #cottagelife #everydaymoments #childhood #childhoodunplugged #littleandbrave #makingmemories #summer #summerdays #outdoors
    • We’re north again for a few days... and last night we decided to go fishing. We caught our first fish of the weekend... the oldest reeled in this monster of a pickerel. It was a fighter of a fish, that she reeled in on a ladie’s ugly stick that has never seen a line change (so it still had the 6lb mono on it from 10 years ago😲). This 30” walleye will definitely be hard to beat this weekend 🤣 . Sidenote: Hubs had set up his planner boards and we wanted to test them out. Most relaxing fishing EVER!!! . . . #fishing #fishinggirls #pickerel #walleye #outdoors #northbound #lifeonthewater #childhoodunplugged #shamoftheperfect #documentyourdays #makingmemories #gooutside #ontariofishing
