{I ♥ Being a Girl}
There is so much beauty and treasures on Etsy that I just had to share this treasury with you that I created today. And remember that secret of Etsy is that everything is handmade which still amazes me! If you love pink, then this is the treasury for you! At least you might find a few things to put on your wish list.
Cheers!

{CastAway Collection Featured in VOGUE KNITTING!}
We all measure our success in so many different ways. And while SALES are pretty well number one on my list…RECOGNITION accompanies the same breath. I work very hard creating new pieces for the CastAway Collection and love every second I spend promoting my business. I have been so fortunate to be featured by so many people. I have been featured in blogs, Facebook fan pages, giveaways, online magazines, and on the front page of Etsy several times over now. Each of these features have been key in helping my business grow and thrive.
I am just so excited to share my latest accomplishment with you all. I have been featured in the latest edition of Vogue Knitting. VK is renowned internationally and has been in publication since the 1930′s! VK just released its first Crochet Edition in 18 years and I feel so blessed to be spotlighted as one of Canada’s leading crochet artist. When I opened to the doors to my online business, I never would have imagined reaching such heights in just 7 short months. Seeing myself in print certainly helps me recognize that this hobby of mine has grown in to a small business in what feels like overnight! Thank you to Vogue Knitting and to author Lee Ann Dalton for this awesome opportunity and just perfectly written article. I feel truly honored!
Vogue Knitting CROCHET is on newsstands TODAY – drop out and get your copy! It is just amazing!

I am back it and playing catch up! I missed lasts week’s post so you get a 2 for 1 this week. And if anyone is closely following along you will see that I still don’t know my abc’s! I will let you figure that one out, lol.
Anyways! Here is a photo of my cherished bedside lamp – found at a garage sale. I just love it.
And of course a photo of the Canadian penny ~ soon to be something of yesteryear and not even known by my children. Way to make you feel young!

{make it monday: easter diy projects}
E A S T E R F U N !
I am back to the land of the living and just so happy to get one edition of an Easter themed {make it monday} in before Peter Cotton Tail hops on over to all of our houses this Sunday!
So lets get started!
{project one: easter display}
This project comes from apaperproposal.com and is really easy yet very sophisticated and fun! Just wash out a few old jars, paint, fill, and you are done! The added stands make from old glass candle holders are a wonderful touch and are plentiful at the local thrift stores. There are tons of printables on the net too.
{project two: easter garland}
For this one just take a little trip to your local department or hardware store, grab some paint swatches in the most cheerful colors, and start cutting! Can’t much easier than this! Thanks to www.thinkcrafts.com for the image.
{project three: easter fan decoration}
Here is an adaptation of the accordion wreath – try in fun easter colors for an easy project with BIG impact!
{project four: easter egg cups}
Looking for the perfect table accent. Try this easter egg cups for those painted eggs or chocolate ones! Thanks http://www.blog.paper-source.com for the great idea!
THANKS SO MUCH FOR TUNING IN AND ENJOY YOUR EASTER!

This is week eleven of Darcy’s p52 with Life with my 3 Boybarians! This week’s theme is Hunger.
One thing is for sure, morning time is bottle time. And my son loves to relax and just sip away. My daughter will try to get her hands on one too but this is quickly ending! Oh the bottle ~ such a comfort ~ for mommy and baby 
Enjoy!
