<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> Living on the West (wet) Coast, we get rain. And a lot of it. At least it seems that way through the winter months. I know for a lot of people it can be depressing. But I've learned to enjoy the rain. I love sound of it at night. During the day, when it's grey and gloomy outside, means a day inside to enjoy reading, crafting or baking. This time of year also means woodstove fires. There is nothing better to get rid of the damp coldness that can creep into your bones then a hot dry fire! We're lucky where we live that we hardly get any snow, but the rain can make everything seem just as cold as snow would.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> So next time it rains, get outside for a minute. Let the raindrops hit your face. Rain is good for the earth and good for your soul! Then get back in the house, start up a warm fire, bake some yummy cookies and read a book snuggled under a blanket.</span><br />

Everything from writing and painting to pottery and fiber. I love to try different types of art forms and something I've dabbled in is knitting. We have 'Knit Night' where once a week a few of us get together to knit and eat sushi! (I'm all about the sushi as I'm still knitting dishcloths and not even close to some of their creations) One of the awesome knitters is Rowie and her business is called Pirate Yarrrn! (I just love the name!) Here is a little about Rowie (taken from her Etsy shop):</span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I am a California girl living on a small island in British Columbia. I
am a Professional Baker, and a Massage Therapist. I live with my
husband, 5 dogs, 2 cats, 2 pigs and some birds. I have
always been a crafty person, and knitting and dying are my newest
obsessions. </span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></i>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><i><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Living in Canada, even the southern west coast, requires warm wooly
things for every day. That means they have to be cute AND functional!
Through experience I have come up with a collection of items that I
enjoy making and wearing. My yarn is all hand dyed/painted with care,
and sometimes I love it so much I have a hard time letting it go! The
selection is always changing slightly, especially with the seasons, so
check back often!</span></i> </span><br />

<br />
I had been following Rebecca's blog, Choose Happy, and her<a href="https://instagram.com/becky17joe" target="_blank"> Instagram</a> account for a while and finally decided to send her a message. I especially loved her 'What I Wore Wednesday' posts as she always had cute outfits and fun accessories. I wanted to send her a few of my creations since I thought we had similar tastes in fashion!<br />
<br />
So I mailed off some resin rose earrings and a bracelet for her to test out (and her young daughter is wearing the rose earrings too! Super cute!). She is also hosting a giveaway for 2 pairs of our hand painted filigree earrings!<br />
<br />
If you'd like to enter to win, head over to her blog to get all the details >>>> <a href="http://choosehappybb.blogspot.ca/2015/09/jewelry-giveaway-from-love-and-farkles.html" target="_blank">Choose Happy</a><br />
Contest closes on Friday September 25th at 9am <br />

And this 'I Heart Friday' business is <a href="http://kkomforts.madeurban.com/" target="_blank">Kozy Komforts</a>, definitely a favourite of mine! I connected with the owner, Cristin, online through mutual friends and fell in love with her knitted/crocheted creations. We also have a shared love of turquoise and coffee! She makes so many fun and functional products including the facial skrubbies and beautiful cowl pictured below. I also own an awesome custom mug cozy for my coffee in the cold mornings!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> I love these cotton facial skrubbies! Gentle on the skin and perfect for my daughters at bath time, or for me during my nighttime skin care routine! I asked her to surprise me with the colours and I loved what she picked out! I've washed them several times and they still look great and have held their shape! The headband she includes with her orders works perfect to keep my hair back while washing my face too.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> Being a huge Hunger Games fan, I had my eye on these 'Katniss' inspired cowls for a long time. So I finally decided to order one, and well, I absolutely LOVE it! I was so excited to open this package when it came in the mail. This cowl is so thick and well made. It is perfect for the Fall and Winter months when the weather is cooler. I'm looking forward to the colder weather just to wear this.....almost (I do love my sunshine!)</span><br />

Handmade gifts are the best and these 2 DIY projects were fairly easy! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I enjoy sewing and while I'm not very good at it yet (I like straight sewing lines!) I decided to try out some new projects for my newborn nephew, Nate. My sister just had a baby boy (first grandson in the family....lots of little girls so having a boy is pretty exciting!!) I searched out Pinterest for some easy beginner sewing toys to make for him.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">First is the taggie blanket toy. This is a small square toy with ribbons around the edges. I knew I'd be able to make this one as it's all straight lines and pretty easy. I found some awesome blue minky fabric and also used some lime green cotton. (the nursery colors are blue and green) I also used some cellophane inside the square so it makes lots of crunchy noises when played with. I had been hoarding my StarWars ribbon for quite some time, waiting for the perfect project to use it on (my sisters hubby is a big fan!) So why not use it on this cute toy for their new son!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I also wanted to make a stuffed animal. I knew it couldn't be too complicated as my sewing skills are at a beginner level. I found a cute dino pattern and tutorial that I thought I might be able to pull off. I think it turned out pretty cute!</span><br />

It is so easy! We love soft tacos in our house and for a long time I would always buy Old el Paso's Taco Seasoning (as this is what I grew up with). That was until I stumbled upon a DIY recipe (somewhere on Pinterest) for making my own!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> This recipe is quick and contains ingredients you probably already have in your pantry! I use a mason jar to store the mix, just give it a shake before you use it. </span><br />

I wanted to talk to someone who was certified and knowledgeable with the oils, not just distributing them. I'm so glad I was put in touch with Veerpal at <a href="http://eohealing.com/" target="_blank">Essential Oils for Healing</a>. She is a Certified Aromatherapist and a member of the British Columbia Alliance of Aromatherapy. As well, she also has over 10 years of experience as a Medical Lab Technologist.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Now I've been a customer with </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Essential Oils for Healing</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
for over a year now, just using their essential oils. I first tried
the oils on my daughter who, at age 3, was not sleeping through the
night. I used the Peaceful Child and Lullaby blends on her and she was
sleeping all night within a few days! I was hooked! I've also bought
oils for myself, including some custom blends made for me (motion
sickness for when we go boating!) </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> As I am slowly changing over all the products in our home to more natural options, I figured it was finally time to trade in my drug store face wash for something better for me. I decided to give Veerpal's skin care products a try! I've been using the products for 2 weeks now and here is my review:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> <b>Aloe & Milk Facial Cleanser</b>: This product has very little scent (which I prefer) and is very silky and smooth. Easy to apply to your face and makes my skin feel very soft once rinsed off. It does not create any bubbles, it is almost like a cream. I love this and my skin has never felt smoother. The price for 120ml is $20.00 which I think is a great deal. This jar will last you quite awhile. It is less then those department store brands, and you know exactly what goes into this. Ingredients are all natural. I would rather be putting a natural product on my skin! (no more chemicals in this house!) </span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> Lavender Toner</span></b><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">: This toner is easy to use and smells lovely! I just spray onto a cotton ball and apply to my face. I love that the scent is light and not overpowering. It is a perfect way to remove any excess oil off my face and does not feel like it dries out my skin. The price is $15.00 for 60ml.</span><br />

The <b>Rose Facial Cream</b> smells light and fresh. It rubs into my skin very easily without a greasy feeling. My skin feels soft and moisturized all day. The <b>Under Eye Cream</b> is also great for my skin (as I'm starting to see wrinkles! Eeep!), perfect to add a little extra moisture and brighten the under eye area.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I would highly recommend these facial products. I know what is in them, all natural with no chemicals and they are a great value for the price. I will continue to buy and use them. And if you haven't tried essential oils, I would definitely send Veerpal a message and she can recommend an oil for you. Whether you need a boost in your energy, help with sleeping at night or another issue, she can help find something that can work for you! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> Do you ever make excuses for not working out and getting fit? I think I've used every one in the book! But slowly, I've been trying to make exercise a habit and something my body craves. I know I need to do every day. And I know it is good for myself physically, emotionally and mentally. But it is also good for my kids. Being active and healthy so I can keep up with them and live a long life is so important to me. I also want to be a good role model for them, and to have them watch me workout and cheer me on is an awesome feeling too. </span></div>

<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> We have a very steep driveway. The bus drops off my daughter at the bottom after school, so most days I'm cursing it as I hike back up to the top! But it also serves as a great workout tool! With one child at home most days, I have to find creative ways to keep fit at home and our crazy driveway is one of them. I'll do sprints up the hill and then free weights at the top. All the while my kids are having fun jumping on the trampoline (exercising!) and cheering for me once I reach the top of the driveway. Plus music outside it a big help! Keeps me going if I have some sweet tunes blasting! </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I do find I have to mix it up every day with my workouts or I get bored. I don't want to just run on the treadmill every day, or do the same workout video. If I don't change it up, I won't look forward to it. I like a challenge and I like trying new routines. Lately I've been finding lots of different HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) workouts to try. There are so many different combinations of moves that you can do! And there are lots of ideas on Pinterest (check out my Fitness board here>> <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/loveandfarkles/fitness/">Fitness,</a>) </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> Have you heard of <a href="http://www.madeurban.com/l-Canada-British_Columbia" target="_blank">Made Urban</a>? It is an up and coming new website showcasing handmade products, services and events! It is free to upload your products to sell. I found it very user friendly and have just recently opened up a shop!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> <a href="http://www.loveandfarkles.madeurban.com/">www.loveandfarkles.madeurban.com</a></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Here is what Made Urban is all about: (taken from their website)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> " We’re all about livin’ la vida local and Made Urban lets you get as local as you like.
We’re an online marketplace for buying and selling locally made goods and so much more!
Shop for products made in your province/state, search for local creative service providers
or find unique small ma and pa shops located right in your city.
We're 100% free! We don't charge any registration, listing or commission fees.
But for how long you ask? Forever! We plan to always keep Made Urban free to use
and will eventually introduce some optional paid upgrades users may find useful. "</span>
</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> I'm excited to promote my products through Made Urban and will be closing down my Etsy shop within the next month or so, after I've transferred over my listings. I'm excited that Made Urban is FREE and love how much they help promote businesses through their <a href="https://instagram.com/madeurban/" target="_blank">Instagram</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/MadeUrban" target="_blank">Twitter</a> and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/MadeUrban" target="_blank">Facebook</a> pages!</span><br />

This week it's the awesome clay creations from <b>The Little Red Door</b>!</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> In 2013, I stumbled upon this Etsy shop and fell in love with the little clay houses! I knew I just had to place an order right away! I've since added to my growing collection and love each piece I've received! I even won a cute little 'Mom' house on an Instagram contest!! These little houses are perfect to add to a small plant, on a book shelf or even your windowsill. And you have to check out the cute little gnomes too! (I think I need one of those!) </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> She also has the best slogan: small things, huge awesome! And I totally agree! Even her packaging is awesome! Every little parcel is adorned with funky washi tape, fun stamps or stickers and then inside there is always candy! Yes, candy!! And with over 3,000 sales, she must have to buy a lot of it to ship with every order!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> I found her on Instagram and love her posts! She shares a little into her life (check out her hashtag #conversationswithmydaughter, always funny!) and there are always lots of coupon codes to her Etsy shop as well as fun contests.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Here is a little ditty taken from the shop:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> "All ceramic miniatures are made of stoneware clay and fired with
non-toxic glazes. Each miniature is formed individually using no molds
or cutters and painstakingly glazed freehand. Every item in the shop is truly handmade, truly one of a kind."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">"The Little Red Door is a one-woman show broadcasting live from her
little home studio on the prairie. Little Red is the creator,
photographer, manager and shipper of all the Small Things."</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Visit her Etsy shop here: <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/thelittlereddoor?ref=related-shop-4&ga_search_query=thelittlereddoor&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery" target="_blank">The Little Red Door</a> </span><br />
