Oops, I Spoke Too Soon

Normally I wouldn't dedicate a whole post to some snow falling during the month of April here in Toronto, because we usually do get a bit during the first half of the month. I wouldn't even post about it based on the fact that the amount that fell was significant for this late into the year. No, the reason you get to hear about the weather today is that last night the temperatures fell to -6. That is quite remarkable and the coldest it has been on this date since 1980. A first in 34 years merits a post of its own.

DIY : Coloured Feather Gift Decorations

These feather gift decorations are quick to make with coloured feathers (that you can find where you buy craft supplies) and some curling ribbon or string. They are a fun way to dress up a present and depending on what colours you choose, will suit any occasion.

I've been making these for years now after I picked up a couple of bags of coloured feathers way back when, to make the thank you cards after our wedding. I had some feathers left over and stored them with the gift wrapping supplies. One thing lead to another and presto ... Feather Gift Decorations were born.
