Restaurant Review {sorta} ~ Beavertails

It is a HUGE Canadian winter tradition to have Beavertails.

It's even more of a tradition in Ottawa where you are supposed to go skating on the canal and get one.

The canal has been closed alot lately.

It's been so warm here.

We have tried a couple times, but it's still closed :(

But we still got Beavertails :)

Beavertails are a large piece of dough that is deep friend then topped with your choice of different toppings.

Theere is Oreo, Cinnamon and Sugar and Chocolate and Banana.

I always go for plain cinnamon and sugar.

So yummy...

to die for.

I bought 5.

I shared one with Paddy.

All in all,

THE BEST BEAVERTAILS EVER!!!

Cheers,

Messy

DIY ~ Shoe Bling!

Hey Y'all!!

I have a cute little DIY for you!

I have been seeing these cute little clip on's for shoes all over the place and decided that I could make those myself!

I went through my stuff because again, I'm trying to use all my old craft stuff and found a bag of different colored and shaped jewels.

So, here is what I did...

YOU WILL NEED:

- Jewels of all shapes and sizes.

- clear glue

- black cardstock

- black felt

- clips or coils

- scissors

STEP 1: Lay out your jewels in the pattern you want to make sure you can get it even and the same.

STEP 2: Cut out two circles of black cardstock just a little smaller then the size of your jewel design.

STEP 3: Glue your jewels on to the cardstock.

STEP 4: Attach your clips or coils. I used coils and I bent mine a bit so they attach better. I just stuck them in a huge gob of glue and let it dry.

STEP 5: Cut out circles from your black felt. Cut a small slit in the center for your coil to slip through. Glue down to back of cardstock.

STEP 6: Once all dried, clip on the front of your shoes and ENJOY!!!

 Aren't they super cute! I paired them with my new Upcycled Heels I made recently!!!

Cheers,

Restaurant Review ~ Zak's

New segment here!

YAY!

I am going to start doing restaurant reviews since we go out so much.

Today's review is for Zak's Diner in Ottawa, ON

Super cute little old school diner.

Clean and tables aren't too close together.

Lots of booths but still extremely busy.

Food came out in great time and was delicious.

I had eggs benny with bacon instead of ham.

Cooked to perfection :)

My Paddy had eggs, bacon, toast, etc. and ate er right up! :)

I did not take pictures of the food.

I forgot.

Stupid, I know. LOL

All in all, delicious!
I would give it
8 STARS
(outtta 10)

\They get points off for their bathrooms being gross and hard to get to. LOL

Good Job Zak's!
Head on down to Byward Market in Ottawa to check out this breakfast joint!

Cheers,

Messy



DIY ~ High Heel Recycle

I have had these black heels for years and I rarely wear them.

There is nothing wrong with them, I just have an identical pair I have already worn in and are already comfy. 

I decided I wanted to do something to spruce them up so I will wear them.

In the spirit of using items I already have and not buying any new crafty things...

I used a silver paint pen I had in a miscellaneous bin.

All I did was shake then pen well, pop off the lid, and started coloring.

I chose to color the heels first.

Once I new there was enough paint left in the pen, I decided to do the tips of the toes too!

I love how they turned out! I pumped to try them next ladies night out!

Cheers,

Photo A Day {Day 21}

Today's idea for Fat Mum Slim's Challenge is to post a favorite photo of yourself.

I generally don't like photos of myself, but here is one I could find.

It is from a time when I was actually 100% genuinely happy.

This has only happened once in my life I think since I turned 20.

Once in 10 years.

That's sad. LOL

I like my hair like this, even though I'm preobably getting too old to pull it off soon.

Those are my favorite earrings and favorite sunnies. :)

I got them in Italy.

We were on our way to Ogdensburg, NY for some shopping.

I had to buy fabric for furniture we were selling so much stuff.

It was a great weekend all around. :)

Check it out here!!!

New Lot at the Shop!

I have been making all sorts of crazy one off's!

I am trying to use up all my crafty supplies!!!

Here are some new items I put in the shop this week.

Remember these are all one of a kinds so get em' while you can!!!

Cheapy! Cheapy!

Check out my shop!!! :)
