Hi!

self portrait...

I’m Josée, ! I just love upcycling and everything crafty; sewing and knitting being my two favorites.  I try to go easy on the environment and reuse as much as I can.  I’m starting a small eco-friendly business.  This blog will surely be about my family life, sewing, hand bags, reclaiming yarns, knitting, and of course, some good recipes along the way!

I’m also married, mom to 3 wonderful kids.  I live near Montréal, Canada and english is not my first language, so please just overlook the mistakes

You can find me on:

Allo!

Je suis Josée, 33 ans, épouse, maman de 3 beaux cocos. J’habite près de Montréal, Canada. J’aime tout ce qui touche les aiguilles et l’artisanat, ma préférence allant à la couture et au tricot! Utiliser des matières recyclées est un beau défi et c’est un plaisir que de trouver de nouvelles idées qui recyclent différents matériaux et ainsi les maintiennent hors du dépotoir. J’ai ma petiteentreprise de sacs à main etaccessoires écologiques. Je vous entretiendrai sûrement sur ce qui se passe dans mon petit monde, de sacs à main, de tricot, d’artisanat, le tout assaisonné de bonnes recettes!

  1. Love that you’re using both languages! And your English is excellent, so please don’t worry. (Unfortunately, my French consists of brief phrases remembered from Hercule Poiret, etc. Lol!)

    • Thanks for your comment! Some people have said it was too much with both languages…. Even had a comment saying i had lots of mispelled words but that looked like spam, so I just deleted it lol!
      But glad to have some feedback from an english speaking person! And i’m sure your french is better than you think, we are hard on ourselves sometimes 😉

  5. I love all of your projects so much! And I studied French for a year after visiting Paris for 3 weeks a few years ago…I wish I could actually speak it–reading your biography is making me nostalgic!
