Welcome to my Blog!

I'm Wendy, and I'm absolutely addicted to DIY projects!

As long as I can remember, I have always loved to decorate, make crafts, sew, garden, cook and entertain. I pursued my interests and hobbies by studying Home Economics at University. This career path allowed me to explore and teach all my favorite subjects; Housing and Interior Design, Fashion and Textiles, Nutrition and Culinary Arts, to name a few. My Bachelor of Education in Home Economics has given me opportunities to do so many things I'm truly passionate about for life.

Doing What Brings my Joy

As I get closer to retiring from teaching, I'm looking forward to spending more time doing all the things that bring me joy. I'm a certified Home Stager and Interior Decorator. I've written decorating columns for KV Style, a local magazine. I've sewn everything from evening gowns, costumes and children's clothing to stuffed animals and home decor items. I've participated in numerous craft sales, selling a variety of homemade crafts, clothing and decor items over the years. I love decorating cakes and cookies for special occasions. I'm fascinated with gardening and harvesting my own vegetables. I can spend hours and days creating new garden spaces and collecting seeds from my flowers. Taking pictures and making scrapbooks for myself, family and friends makes me happy! I love trying new hobbies and experimenting with different creative activities.

Sharing my Addiction for DIY

I've always had a creative mind and I love making things, whether it be a craft, a gift, card or decorating front doors for a holiday season. All these things, I've learned and experimented with throughout my life. Creating my own recipes and setting my dining table for my friends and family have opened so many new opportunities for my middle life journey! I want to share what I've learned with you. Writing a blog and starting my own website have been on my bucket list for quite some time. This will be a new challenge and experience for me.

Enjoying the DIY Lifestyle

I'm not really superstitious, but one day while I was sitting on my patio enjoying a cup of tea and looking at my gardens, a dragonfly landed on my big toe! It lingered for a good time, flew away and then came back a few minutes later for a second visit. I was told that dragonflies are very mythical, so I did a little research and discovered that when a dragonfly lands on you, it's a significant event. Its believed that they are messengers of good fortune. I used that experience as a sign that it was time to do the things I've been putting off because of being busy all the time with work, chores and just everyday life. I'm excited to share my ideas and projects with you!
