meet.make.music: track 3

Getting ready in the a.m. - you bet we are jamming! Driving to and from work - the tunes are cranked. Sitting at work writing emails - the headphones are likely on.

Simply put - we LOVE music and are constantly sharing artists and songs with each other. So we decided to start a weekly music sharing series!

Every week, each of us will pick a song to share with all of you. Sometimes there will be a theme, and sometimes not.

Share our love of music with us and tell us your favorite song each week!

Over on Her New Leaf, Kira started a new project called myDIY:

myDIY is a collaborative online crafting party designed to inspire creative thought and interpretation. Each month, a material or topic will be posted along with several bloggers’ interpretations of the idea.

meet.make.fig bites.

Here on Vancouver Island, figs are in abundance this time of year. They aren't a usual suspect on our grocery lists, but we wanted to try to make something that uses these tasty treats. 

This is a great appetizer for your ladies night in, or any potluck gathering you may attend! It is a very quick goodie to make, so if you need to put something together fast and flattering after work this will do the trick. Lastly.... it is seriously delicious. Sometimes the ingredients speak for themselves and you don't need to do anything to them!

Pillows to a couch are like shoes to an outfit. They compliment and complete the look. A great staple pair can be worn with a variety of outfits but with normal wear and tear, they start looking used and abused. A pair of new shoes can make you feel and/or look like a new person (for us women... or me, at least!).

Part 3 of our summer mocktail series! Oh Wait.... there is alcohol in this one.... 

meet.make.wedding: Stephanie and Pat

In honour of Hayley's upcoming wedding, we will be doing spotlight's on some past weddings we have attended. Most of these weddings happened pre-Pinterest... so we wanted to showcase some of the DIY's and unique features that the bride's (and groom's!) came up with all on their own. 

We figured the best way to start off this series is one of our own weddings.... next up is Cindy's!

The couple: Stephanie (me!) and Pat got married August 2nd, 2009... and we just celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary!

The venue: The Inn at Laurel Point, Victoria, BC

The photographer: Brandon Patoc Photography

The florist: Bella Fiore Custom Floral Design

meet.make.thread art.

It was a holiday long weekend, and in our world, that means.... craft time! We didn't know what we wanted to make, so a trip to HomeSense was in order to find a little inspiration. After wandering the aisles, we came across some random cheesy bathroom framed art, and figured it had potential to turn into something cool.

A project we've been saving for a while now and finally made the time (aka we got up the guts) to try it!
