I remember the first time I designed this pillow. Now, I didn't write the poem. Im no poet and my grammar is subpar at best. But I created the flow, fonts and layout. ... I've made more than I can count, so let that be our Monday mission. Go with the flow and do more than we did yesterday. #mondaymission #mondayvibes #mondaymood #pillows #familydecor #custompillow #homedecor #gifts #homedecorgifts #nonna #nana #grandma #grandpa #grandparents #family #thisisus #generations #custommade #customgifts #giftsfromtheheart #christmasgifts #cricutmaker #cricutcreated #cricutcrafting #madebyme #imadethis #makersofinstagram #makersmovement #bolton #northofninedesigns

Happy Weekend! I'm Michelle, for my new followers I moved back to Bolton from Tottenham in February. ... It feels like I've been back here forever. Thanks to covid, I've got really acquainted with the walls of my house real fast! The weird thing is, I haven't meet most of you. Also, many didn't even know I was back in town! With lockdown looming over our heads, I'll continue to offer contactless porch pick ups or shipping, as I have for the last few months. But, I look forward to that day when we can all see eachother smiling again without masks on #thisisme #meetthemaker #makerlife #porchpickups #contacless #stillgoing #christmasorders #christmasgifts #customcreation #custommade #handmade #handmadewithlove #tutu #customtutu #girlsskirts #personalizedgifts #personalizedshirts #personalizeddecor #hometown #cricutmaker #craftymama #craftersofinstagram #makersofinstagram #vaughanmoms #vaughan #mississauga #toronto #bolton #northofninedesigns

I've made so many of these, that I've lost count. You can't begin to know how much that means to me. This wasn't something, I saw on Pinterest or Etsy and transformed into my own design. ... This is my own. My failed attempts too. My creation through and through. So thank you for loving them the way you do. #originaldesign #yousawitherefirst #moderncake #cakegram #eventsignage #signage #kidsbirthday #firstbirthday #birthdaycake #partydecor #cakecakecake #cakesofinstagram #cakedecorator #acryliccaketopper #acrylicsigns #caketopper #acryliccaketoppers #baptism #communion #confirmation #cake #cakedecorations #bakersofinstagram #partydecorations #party #madewithcricut #crafting #madeincanada #bolton #northofninedesigns

They thought we were just kids. I mean really, we were. Maybe they thought we wouldn't last. Over the years, people would often ask if I regretting staying in a longterm relationship so young? ... I would get asked, if I didn't want to travel or explore places first? My answer, I guess you know when you have a good thing. I can't say I regret a thing because, otherwise we wouldn't have the life we share today. Yes some days I wanna wack him with a pillow, when I hear him breathing so hard. The same way he wants to whip my mug of tea, that I left laying around. No one is perfect. But he's done so much for me and believed in me even when I didn't. I was quiet and walked that straight line growing up. He's definitely pushed me to go beyond my comfort zone. The only regret I have, is not listening to him sooner. He's had my best interest at heart, always. So today we'll celebrate our 15th Wedding Anniversay and almost 25 years together. Never would I have thought I would find my future hubby at an all ages club. But life can surprise you, even when you don't expect it.

Who doesn't love a little party? And after this whole fiasco, I think we're gonna need a big bash! I'm just pass my 40th birthday, so I have a way to go, but I totally think I wanna do an 80s theme party for my next milestone. ... That gives me lots of time to work on my dancing. Confession... Myself and Fab took ballroom dancing lesson about 13 years ago. If I remember correctly, he arranged it all, but clearly did it for me. Plus neither of us remember anything from it Tell me? Dance fan or you'd rather sit, drink and be entertained #acryliccaketopper #acrylicsigns #caketopper #celebration #anniversary #cake #cakegram #cakedecorations #trending #newtotheshop #yousawitherefirst #bakersofinstagram #modernevents #gtaevents #partydecorations #party #makersofinstagram #instacrafts #cricutmaker #vinlycrafts #cricutcreation #madewithcricut #crafting #madeincanada #bolton #etsy #comingtoetsy #kingcity #scarborough #northofninedesigns @ Woodbridge, Ontario

How do you pick a baby name? Do you name them after a loved one? Or do you pick a name that you just love? Did you agree with your spouse or was it a full out brawl until the 9th month ... I kinda chose my oldest's name. For our second, Fab declared it was his turn. He pretty much teased me the entire time saying he would pick Gloria. Not that anything is wrong with that name, but he would literally sing the 80s song Gloria and it just drove me bonkers with my pregnancy hormones. I wanted Ella ... he picked Gabriella so he double screwed me, cause I could never use it after. Imagine... here are my girls Ella and Gabriella #acrylicgifts #acrylicsigns #wereexpecting #pregnant #motherhood #feelingmotherhood #babynames # #motherhoodunplugged #soontobeparents #mamatobe #babyboy #birthannouncement #babiesofinstagram #prince #newborn #nurserydecor #newbornphotography #namereveal #babyshower #hospitalbagessentials #babyshowergifts #mamatobe #makersofinstagram #instacrafts #cricutmaker #vinlycrafts #cricutcreation #madewithcricut #madeincanada #bolton #northofninedesigns

I'm not. We're not. I think I should emphasize that first. This year has definitely been one we won't forget. Its so easy to get caught up into all the frustrations. I've been there too. ... Trying to focus on what we can control, is all we can do. If your lucky enough to be expecting, how amazing is that to look forward too! Little tiny babies remind us of hope and that this world will keep turning.

One of my favourite designs. Looks like acrylic cake toppers are a thing now! Safe to say, they are officially taking cake decorating by storm.... The gold and silver flakes are not easy to work with but this original design came out exactly as I hoped.

Hey its Me! Some new people around here, so I thought its time for another introduction. I'm Michelle. The designer, production, customer service, shipping... the everything of North of Nine Designs. ... Girl mom, through and through. I have 3 girls. I'm also the oldest of 3 girls. My hubby and I are celebrating our 15 year wedding anniversary this month. We've been together since I was 16. Grew up in Scarborough and although I choose to move out of the city, that place will always have my I was a District Manager for Kitchen Stuff Plus before I had my second daughter. If you haven't checked them out, you need too! I love real life crime documentaries but horror movies scare the crap out of me. That makes sense, right. I had 3 kids without epidural but bloodwork brings me to borderline fainting. Again, that makes sense, right? I'm a complicated person. I was anti Disney for a long time and after a few visits with pixie dust, I'm hooked. Can't wait for this pandemic to be over and I can start designing those shirts again. How about you?

My parents are from Guyana just above Brazil in South America. Growing up, if we ever did anything sloppy or without effort it was referred to as "slap dash" Don't ask me where it comes from I have no idea. ... Its funny cause I look at these acrylic pieces and wonder how many just think, oh its just paint slapped onto the acrylic. I mean technically it is, I guess. However, when I'm working on my pieces it's just not so. I'm methodically looking at each stroke. Fixing my errors and heck in some cases, removing it all and starting over. So there is a ton of thought and effort here and no slap dash! #acrylicsigns #acrylic #acrylicgifts #godmother #nouna #acrylicart #golddecorations #personalizedgifts #babygirl #godbless #baptism #newtotheshop #yousawitherefirst #whiteandgold #partydecorations #party #babiesofinstagram #makersofinstagram #instacrafts #cricutmaker #vinlycrafts #cricutcreation #madewithcricut #crafting #madeincanada #bolton #etsy #comingtoetsy #greek #northofninedesigns @officalcricut

Confession. I'm kinda enjoying these smaller intimate events. I know the numbers have decreased even further, but this event made it just in time. ...
