DIY - White pom pom Yard Flower (des pompons comme des fleurs !)

Today, I made ... pom-pom flowers ! They look like dandelions, and they're so much fun to make. I might do some more and use them in different ways (garland, gift decor, ...). Here's a great tutorial for quick and easy pom-poms. Aujourd'hui, j'ai fait...

DIY - Family portrait block puzzle (toute la famille en puzzle)

This morning I went to a yard sale and I've found some great stuff, including this random block puzzle for 50 cents. I figured I'd give it another (and more personal) look for the Baby's room. Ce matin, je suis allée à un vide-grenier, et j'ai trouvé...

DIY - Recycled magazines mirror, part 2 (le 1er essai miroir n'était pas le bon)

After having (proudly) shown my first recycled magazine mirror to my husband yesterday, he told me liked it, but was not totally convinced by the turquoise ribbon. Ok, I guess it was a little out there for a "modern" look. Then, this morning I've received...

DIY - A wine cork board (recyclez vos bouchons de liège avec style)

Around 1 year before our wedding (in 2008), we started keeping wine corks, because we wanted to incorporate them into the wedding decor. But I started a new job a few months before the big day, and I got REALLY BUSY. I mean, I haven't been able to do...

DIY - Kusudama Flowers, from magazine pages to free artwork

I love Kusudama Flowers (Japanese origami paper flowers). Usually, they're taped together to create balls, but I like them even more individually. Here's the how-to : J'adore les fleurs Kusudama (origami japonais). D'habitude, elles sont collées entre...

Baby's nest #4 - A colourful and cosy blanket for Baby (une couverture colorée et cosy pour bébé)

Look what I've been up to between 5 and 7 pm : I've made a blanket for our baby. For now, it's still "gender neutral", with green and grey fabrics (and some fleece on the back), but once the baby's here, I might add another colour (blue or pink, for instance)....

Baby's nest #1 - Getting the place organized (réorganiser l'espace avant bébé)

Another great thing about expecting (besides eating a bit more than usual without feeling guilty - especially when your cravings are mostly clementine/orange related, so I guess it's ok ...) is that it makes you reorganize the entire home to make room...

I don't usually feel so great about my body, but ever since I got pregnant, I don't care anymore about my curves, I even enjoy them ! Of course, I use many lotions and oils to prevent stretch marks ... Je ne suis d'habitude pas particulièrement à l'aise...
