Found on Etsy, jade4wood .
I’m looking for new drawer handles but I need handles versus knobs. As much as I like this one it’s not what I need.

Women and Friendly Fire
I was watching a US TV show, Bones. The episode was about war heros, men in the war and the afterwards, the after care and how they are not understood or respected for what they went through. My mind went to women who have been through an attack or stalking and other violence and victimization. … Read more…
Tea Chest for Zack
The linen tea chest gift comes filled with our choice of 8 flavors of the wrapped sachets, 4 sachets each. Curated from Harney.com One of the things my nephew, Zack, has especially liked was a tea chest. I forget who gave it to him now. It ended up being something his family used and I … Read more…
Upcycle Jewels into Fridge Magnets
It’s a simple project and only involves a couple of steps: pop off the backs of your jeweled earrings/broaches with wire cutters, then attach a magnet with super glue. Presto! You’ve got yourself a blinged out fridge magnet. Mega impact for the absolute minimum amount of effort. Or, in other words, my kind of DIY … Read more…
Easy DIY Rolling Bookshelf
All you need are some 2x8s cut to size (or some reclaimed/scrap wood), braces, and some casters. From there you can probably figure out how everything goes together, but check out the tutorial and more photos over on Curated from Curbly
Kitchen in a Cupboard
This is perfect. You can cook stove top, it has two “induction hobs”, I looked it up, and its a type of stove top, uses less energy, and the heat goes to the pot, not the surface. To me that sounds great. And you can replace the microwave with a combo microwave/convection oven. And toaster … Read more…

Far too early for Spring but one of my favourite flowers.
My Mom had posted these on her Facebook page. Originally from Martha Stewart .
Profile Headers for Remembrance Day
I have two new profile header images for Facebook and Twitter posted a bit early for Remembrance Day this year. The Twitter one (the second one here) is my favourite again. Maybe it helps that I made it second and had the ideas from the first one to improve on.
For Remembrance Day
My Mother forwarded this to me on Facebook.
This is Me Today – Making Myself Crazy
Being a perfectionist is a vicious circle of events. Nothing is ever good enough. So we (or I) end up keeping endless stuff because I feel I have to finish it, get it right before I can let it go. I feel obligated to the stuff and myself. I’m letting myself down if I don’t … Read more…
Australian definition of a Canadian…
I think I’ve read this before. It was forwarded in email by my Mom today. Australian definition of a Canadian… Once in a while someone does a nice job of describing a Canadian, this time it was an Australian dentist. You probably missed it in the local news, but there was a report that someone … Read more…
