Our children have been part of Toronto Athletic Camps (TAC) over the past three years, and they love returning to TAC summer camp!

We feel this gives the punch of colour we want to make the interior of our home feel brighter even during the long winter seasons!

Embroidered Crazy Patchwork

I have been working on a crazy patchwork surface to use it as the cover for a DIY stool we are working on.

Crazy patchwork is a lot of fun to do, as we do not have to cut each material using a pattern or measurement.
