  • Custom colouring page // A few weeks ago I made @justinemadesign’s daughter Ruby a custom colouring page and it was the cutest thing to see people gathered around as a group colouring as a family. My family is big into colouring pages, at the annual Christmas brunch at my Dad’s club, my Mom would pack is our own fresh crayons for at the table because we needed all.the.colours. It was serious business. Even today I get giddy over a fresh box of @crayola Crayons. ▫️ After Justine posted a video of Ruby colouring her page I received some messages from people looking to buy their own custom colouring page. I was flattered but didn’t know how to really “charge” for this. ▫️ I decided that this could be a fun way to give back to organizations. Especially organizations that are helping kids. So instead of charging for a custom colouring page, here’s what you can do! ▫️ I’ve chosen @hollandbloorview as my charity of choice this time around. Make a donation to them (link in my profile) and send me a picture of the receipt (you can hide the donation amount - any donation is appreciated ▫️ I’ll draw you your very own custom colouring page for you to print and colour as a family. Please see my stories for the full how to and also some disclaimers. Donations must be made by March 1st and you also have to be following me on Instagram. Thank you for always supporting me, and my businesses and creative pursuits.

  • Although I’m still browsing thrift stores (less home decor as I’m embracing less-is-more these days) my new favourite pit stop is the toy section for retro / vintage board games. Not only do I love the games but the packaging is always a source of creative inspiration. Yesterday this pink and blue box instantly jumped out at me at Value Village and my heart skipped a beat. You’d better believe we’re having a girls night and playing this.. . . #80sgames #retrogames #girltalkgame #boardgames #retroboardgames #GirlTalk #Thrifting
  • Friday / Oscar’s happily at a day camp building a robot, I managed to get @melanie.dyson to fit me in to give me a much needed chop to my mane. Found a sweet wooden box at @valuevillage_thrift for Oscar to store treasures in and now I’m home and about to figure out how to film some more sketching videos to post (and a fun giveaway) Happy Friday! Xo
  • The perfect day with my sweet date. We woke up to homemade cards and special gifts from Grandma. After playing some video games we headed to the club to have lunch, shoot some hoops (he’s teaching me), then we went swimming - the only ones in the pool. Sweet bliss. (The joy of having an extra day off school when most of the city is still in class.) We then got changed and headed to @bobbetteandbelle for macaroons and tea. Back in the car and straight to @mastermindtoys to get some treats. Home just in time for Dad (@aubreysilverberg) to get home and order up a heart shaped pizza for dinner. One day he’ll have other Valentine’s on his radar but this year I get him all to myself and I’m pretty lucky.
  • I spent the day updating my site, and came across this picture of my little cherub. My heart. Anyhow, excuse the silence. I’ve been knee deep in product proposals, new designs rolling out over on @pennypaperco and hopefully some exciting licensing collaborations that I’m pretty excited about. Seriously, I just love designing and seeing the work turned into amazing products, nothing gets my heart beating more than to see things in stores and then in your homes!!! Xo
  • What a treat to see my @pennypaperco card in the @thetorontostar among many other artist and makers I admire and some I call friends. It’s also amazing to see one of my first retailers @collected_joy mentioned - who is the fiercest supporter of artists (and now a dear friend) and @simplybeautifulto one of my newest retailers. Thank you for including me @debra_norton (also so proud of where your writing + design eye have taken you). Oscar was especially excited to see this card in the paper! #toronto #madeincanada #yyz #canadiandesigners
  • I have been struggling to figure out my voice here on Instagram. Does that sound weird? (Ok, don't answer that.) You see, I'm not someone you follow for mom advice, or insights into parenthood (I'm protective of so many moments, as I don't want to overshare on Oscar's world). I love interior design, but I'm not an interior decorator. I run a business, but you can follow that on another account (hint @pennypaperco) .⁣ I've come to realize that one of the things that I’ve held back from posting here is what I do daily ... and that’s create art. But.... I rarely show it. I think I just assumed it would be boring for others. I mean, maybe it is? (again, don’t answer that) It’s also a little bit of being self conscious. Does that ever go away? Perhaps not.⁣ . In an effort to bring this space to be more "me" I'm going to be making the greatest effort to showcase more behind the scenes of work, design, and how things happen. At my core I'm an artist and product designer, and I love the beauty in transformations. Hopefully I'll be able to showcase that here in little squares. ⁣ .⁣ You can check out the Instastories and see some work in progress, and I welcome any questions, or, if you want to see anything in particular, to let me know. ⁣ .⁣ Here's to finding our own unique voices. xoxo
  • Good morning. I’m in bed. I’m taking a moment to breathe and have a moment of quiet before getting into work. Thankful for my dear Aubrey who picked me up a coffee after dropping Oscar off at school. . Its #bellletstalk day. I’ll skip the 10 year challenges and flashback Friday’s but when it comes to mental health awareness I’m going to join hands with others and join. I may not share my personal mental health struggles here (which I do have) but I’m forever grateful for those that DO share because it helps remove the stigma around talking about it. . I’ve been educated by listening to others and it’s allowed me to have the vocabulary to use, to help teach my own child that his mental health is important. (And my own) . We still have a long way to go, but I’m grateful for those that put their stories out there and pave the way - because I’m raising a boy and want him to know it’s ok to talk about feelings. . A world where there’s more kindness, less judgement and more acceptance can only have positive results.
