ProjectBox- New Idea: Excitement and Fear
I am equal parts over-the-moon-excited and totally-terrified about my new project, and I think that I can’t be the only person who feels this way about new ideas. New ideas can fill you with such a big feeling of excitement, of possibility. They can make you shine with joy and they can make you buzz with enthusiasm and adventure. But they can also be a bit scary. They can make you doubt yourself and they can taunt you with the potential of failure. But do you know what? It’s okay to feel both. In fact, if you aren’t afraid of failing… where’s the fun in it? Continue reading

ProjectBox- Big Crazy Dreams
We all have dreams, little dreams, big dreams, short-term dreams, long-term dreams and my favourite kind of dreams- the big crazy dreams. Dreams that make people wonder just how crazy you really are. Dreams that inspire other people to have big crazy dreams along with you. Dreams that change the world. And tonight I’m sharing my big, crazy, world-changing dream with you. Continue reading
Sad Days and Happy Days
We all have them. Days when we don’t want to get out of bed, days when the smallest thing will set us off in yet another round of tears or tantrums, days when nothing goes our way and it seems like we’re making no progress. And it’s during those days that we have to remember the happy days, where the world was our oyster and life was this wonderful promise waiting to be fulfilled. Continue reading
ProjectBox- Hair Decorations
So this project was inspired by a series of events and it’s an ongoing project (as anyone could see if they looked at my floor workspace…) It started with an email from Leonie which referred me to a link about mermaid hair. I then saw a post about how to be a mermaid, and a tweet from Jess about nymph hair. It all led up to Sunday, sprawled out all over the floor with jewels, ribbons, shells, charms, bobby pins and an old on-it’s-last-legs hot glue gun. Continue reading

ProjectBox- Flaming Autumn Scarf and Beanie Set
I’m currently using this wool along with a matching red wool to make two scarf and beanie sets for my soon-to-be etsy shop. I was planning on opening up an etsy shop toward the end of this year, but I’m trying to step it up a notch so that it can help fund my next trip to Uganda (Africa) in September.

CookBook- Bonus! Spicy Quinoa Salad
Just before my parents left the country, they left me with the contents of their pantry to raid. “Free food?” I said, “okay!” And I ended up with a million new spices, enough lentils to make dahl every night for the rest of my life and some quinoa. “Quinoa?” I said, “what on earth am I going to do with this?” Continue reading
