Speaking of great cats (see last post), Loki inspired my first Cricut creation today! She's a cutie pie and so is this lovely vinyl wall decal that will greet Ste e and I coming and going from our wee Parkdale apartment. Can't wait to start making labels for all my handmade goodies - up my brand game . .... . . . #cricut #cricutcreation #oneofakind #blackcat #blackcatclub #toronto #torontolife #torontobusiness #torontosmallbusiness #etsytoronto #etsytorontomade #etsycanada #shoplocal #supportsmallbusiness #handcrafted #parkdalelife #ooak #handmadeapron #handmadetoronto #community #torontotogether #shoplocalcanada #makersofinstagram #supportlocal #supportsmallbusiness #makersgonnamake #torontomade #torontosmallbusiness #handmade #madewithlove #toronto #torontobusiness #torontolife #parkdalelife

When was the last time you tried something new? It's been 13 months since beginning this journey of teaching myself how to sew, which means over a years' worth of trial and error, seam ripping, exploring Youtube tutorials, attempting to understand patterns, and spending way too much on fabric. Here's a shot of what I hope will be a neat lil fanny pack. It's my first attempt which could end up being fabulous or not sellable at all, but hey - cheers to trying something new! ... . . . . . #fannypack #bumbag #hipbag #ooak #oneofakind #cooking #baking #painting #toronto #torontolife #torontobusiness #torontosmallbusiness #etsytoronto #etsytorontomade #etsycanada #shoplocal #supportsmallbusiness #handcrafted #parkdalelife #ooak #handmadetoronto #community #torontotogether #shoplocalcanada #makersofinstagram #supportlocal #supportsmallbusiness #makersgonnamake #torontomade #torontosmallbusiness #handmade #madewithlove #LoveToronto #toronto #torontobusiness #torontolife #parkdalelife
