Life as it happens.
Works of art done by me
I bought this, what I'm assuming to be - flower planter at the Abbotsford Flea Market a few years back. It sat in the basement of our old house until I completely forgot about it. My intention was to up cycle the planter and turn it into something beautiful but just never got around to [...]
Hey Friends, I’ve been spending a lot of time in the woods, since that’s one of the only places we can go to escape the third wave of Covid-19 here in British Columbia.
