I love the view in B.C. Almost anywhere we’ve been, there’s mountains in view.
It’s breathtakingly beautiful.
Our first stop was to Dressew.
OMG.
Yarn, Fabric, Notions & more.
A definitely go-to place if you’re visiting or live in B.C.
The next stop was to Button Button.
What a cute little shop full of buttons.
I picked up a shawl pin & a few buttons & some button shanks.
Also a definite must go to place, right next door to Dressew.
Saw this really cute minature in Button Button.
Mack’s been doing pretty good in the stroller in all these places.
Though, I’m sure before long he’ll start to get annoyed.
“Mommy, another yarn shop?”
He loves to wear sunglasses. It’s too cute.
After Dressew we went to Mayfair News, Chapters next door & then to Earls for lunch.
I had a very yummy dish, Mackenzie barely ate his chicken strips,
but enjoyed the fries from Bea’s plate instead of the ones on his own.
Peek-a-boo, I can see you!
Bunny needs some juice too.
Mackie & I.
After lunch we headed to Three Bags Full on Main Street.
I had a gift certificate waiting there for me at the cash, from my sister for my birthday.
Thank you Amy!
I picked up some Noro with my gift certificate.
Bea also got me a skein of Sweet Georgia sock yarn as well for my birthday.
Thank you Bea!
After that we headed to Quilt Essentials.
On the street in front they had these really neat benches!
We also picked up some cupcakes & scones at Tracycakes.
I saw this in the shop. So cute.
This evening after Mack went to bed we set out to do some crafting.
(Sewing to be in specific).
They helped me finish the “box” bag that I started in my sewing class.
It turned out more rectangle than anything.
I like it though. It still is very functional.
Then we made 2 tool belts, one for Mack & one for Sean.
We used this tutorial to make them.
They helped me cut, but I did all the sewing myself.
So very proud of my sewing job.
I’m starting to feel a lot more comfortable with using the sewing machine.
I hope the boys like them.

The tool belts look awesome! I am sure Sean is gonna love it! So much fun stuff! The benches as I mentioned on FB are cool!! I really need to learn how to use my sewing machine! Blah lol.
Wow, so many buttons! I actually need to find some for my Henley Perfected! Any recommendations of good places to find in MTL?
Glad you found good use of the gift certificate! Enjoy!! Can't wait to see pictures of which yarn you bought.
