For my best friend’s bachelorette (part two, duh), we did a weekend trip to Napa Valley. I loved the whole getaway, but one of the highlights for me was the aerial silks class that we took together! I had never done anything like this before, so it was a really fun experience pushing my body to move in a new and different way.

They say that there’s nothing new under the sun, so while the instant camera was originally released in 1948, they seemed to have made a big comeback in the early 2010’s. I bought a Fujifilm Instax Mini 8 in 2014, and since then, I’ve enjoyed having a physical memento of special moments. There are newer models and more ‘authentic’ film cameras, but I’m most definitely not a photographer, so this one is good enough to make me happy.

I’m sorry, but I haven’t been crafting as much lately, so this week is back to the archives to find another hidden gem. Most of the time I’m still in awe that this blog has been running more or less regularly since December 2015, so if some of my posts are scraping the bottom of the barrel, I hope you can forgive me. This post is about a super cute puff stitch scarf that ended up being a gift to a friend, so I have no idea what happened to it.

I was fortunate enough to be invited over to dinner at a friend’s house for Easter long weekend, and I knew that I wanted to bring a dessert that matched the occasion. To me, lemon bars have that fresh zest that I associate with spring, so I figured this was a good time to try a new recipe!

I was doing a deep dive into my Ravelry account the other day, and I noticed that I had some very old projects that I had never written about. It’s a trippy feeling to look back on something I made over eight years ago and to see how far I have come, and what has stayed the same. I remember feeling so proud of this circle scarf, and feeling so special gifting it to my mom.

For my best friend’s bachelorette party, we decided to book a cooking class because she has always been a bit of a gourmand! While most cooking classes are a bit of a splurge money-wise, I think they’re really fun to do with friends since you get to stay busy, chat a little, and eat something yummy at the end.

Last year, I made a cross-stitch of the Edmonton skyline from a kit, and I mentioned that I wanted to make one for each city I lived in. I’m so excited to share that I’ve finally done it! It took me a second to think about what I would want in the skyline of Dawson Creek since there aren’t any skyscrapers or tall office buildings, but I hope and think that I’ve managed to catch the essence of the city.

I never really got the appeal of playing with slime, but when my babysitting family started begging me to make slime with them, I figured I had to give it a try. In fact, it was the kids who taught me how to do this craft! Their mother just laughed when she saw all the finished slime, but hey, she had three happy children when she got home.

I hate running. If you’ve ever spoken to me, you would know that I do not enjoy cardio, and if you told me a year ago that I would be running on the treadmill more than once a week, I would have told you that you were crazy. I guess that’s the funny thing about life though, nothing is set in stone.

I’ve recently finished two sweater projects, which for me, counts as a lot of knitting. I’m thinking that I will probably take a break from crochet and knitting for a while to recover, so you might see more posts about the other things I enjoy in my life. This week, I thought I’d talk about playing board games with my friends and family!
