Here I am savouring summer ☀️, dreaming of Christmas🎄 and posting about Fall/Halloween🍁. Can we say seasonal identity crisis??!! 🤣

I'm off this weekend enjoying whats left of summer holidays!

Before we officially trade flip flops for pumpkins… what are you most looking forward to this fall before the Christmas chaos arrives? 🍁🎃☕️

Happy Friday & Happy Long Weekend! ❤️

Good luck to all the kiddos heading back to school today! 🍎📚 Hope everyone has an amazing first day!

My kids don’t head back until Tuesday and Wednesday next week, so we’re soaking up these last six days of summer while we can! ☀️💜 I seriously can’t believe it’s already here!

Happy September! 🍂 A new month, a fresh season, and the start of the last quarter of 2026 — aka my favourite four months of the year for creating! 🎃🍁🎄

I’ve become a summer girl through and through...give me sunshine, heat and beach days all day long. ☀️🏖️ But I have to admit… I’m ready for the transition this year. Especially because it means some of my favourite items get to come out and play! 😉

I’m also bringing this sign back after a year-ish hiatus. I skipped it last fall, but it just felt like it deserved a spot in this year’s lineup. And honestly, it couldn’t be more accurate for how things are going right now. 🙄👻

I’ve made A LOT of Grinch inspired things over the last couple of years, so when I came across this design, I knew I wanted to make it a little different. 💚

I had the idea to add a fuzzy beard… which initially started as fuzzy eyebrows. Let’s just say working with this material was NOT my favourite. 😂 But I absolutely LOVE how it turned out!

So tell me...do you love the fuzzy texture, or would you have preferred the natural wood, painted? 👀 I’m definitely team fuzzy beard!

POV: You open my camera roll. 😂📸

It’s basically signs, cups, signs, more cups… with the occasional picture of my kids or pets thrown in for good measure. 😂 Apparently, this is just who I am now. 🤷‍♀️😂

⚾️💙 The Jays are back in my Christmas line up 💙⚾️

Bringing my Blue Jays inspired ornament back for another season… because apparently I enjoy emotional damage. 😂 After last year’s amazing season, this one has been a bit rough but I’m still holding out hope for that Wild Card spot!

Who else is still believing?! 👀⚾️

For all my Halloween decoration lovers… 🖤🎃 this one’s for you...Amuck, amuck, amuck!🧙‍♀️😂

A little Hocus Pocus magic has made its way into the workshop. ✨

Another Highland cow has finally made her debut! 🍂🐮

This one has been sitting around waiting to be cut and painted for probably FOUR weeks. Between squirrel-ing 😂 and the Christmas cows keeping me busy, I somehow completely forgot she was even there! 🤦‍♀️

But here she is—and she is ADORABLE! 🧡 As of right now, she’s the last Highland cow I have coming… but you never know what’ll happen! 😉

✨ Did you know? There’s a LOT more that goes into each ornament than just putting it in the laser! 😂

Every single ornament is sanded smooth (because there is nothing worse than a rough ornament and sometimes that includes sanding on top of pizza boxes in the garage🤣🍕!), then blown off with an air compressor to remove all that lovely sawdust. Before it even hits the laser, I mask each wood sheet to help reduce any burning or scorching from engraving and/or cutting.

And then… every ornament is hand-painted. 🎨 I work exclusively with wood for my ornaments, so every colour and detail you see is added by hand.

So when you see me prepping Christmas inventory months before Christmas… now you know why! 😂🎄 There are a LOT of little steps behind the scenes before these make it to a market booth!
