Make-up Brush Rolls

As you may know I own Avental Kitchenware.....I make unique aprons and other items for the kitchen. One of my other loves is make-up.....so..... I thought I would try making myself something make-up related. I sat down and drew up a design and starting to create my vary own brush roll.

I was really happy with the way it turned out. I will be selling my brush rolls on my etsy page.

I will have many prints to choose from......I have just started a zebra and teal brush roll.....it's really cute :)

I would love to hear your thoughts on these.....are these something you guys are interested in and if so, which colours/prints?

I will keep everyone posted on when I have them up on etsy!

Vicious Bettys Magazine Feature / Kat Von D

Hey everyone....hope you are all having a great weekend! I have been busy with work and sewing. This weekend the only thing I purchased was a Lush gift card for my friends Birthday...I did not get myself anything...can you believe it!!! oh but I did buy a pair of the tall grey Emus....I know people may think they are ugly, but I live in Canada (cold) and they are the perfect pair of boots for comfort and warmth....I also think they look cute with leggings ;)

I was organizing my sewing room and found the copy of the Vicious Bettys April magazine that I (Avental) was featured in !! yay....super excited about it and wanted to share it with you.

Now..... onto make-up! I have been looking online at the Kat Von D for Sephora, and can't stop thinking about it.

I really want to get my hands on the Beethoven palette oh and the Ludwig too.

I would love to know if anyone has tried any of the Kat Von D make-up and what you think about it. Likes , Dislikes I want to hear it all ;)

Iron Fist Shoes

I thought I would share with everyone, my love for shoes!!!
Don't get me wrong....I love clothing....make-up....fabric.....but....what I love most are SHOES!!!


I have been into Iron Fist shoes for a few years now. I love everything about them. The styles, colours and uniqeness of them. I now own 10 pair and know that my collection will grow ;)



My newest pair are to die for hahhaha no really!!!! They are the sequin skull platform heel......I think I cried when I opened one of my Christmas gifts and the digiskull heels where inside the box!!! The Green pair in the photo below are another one of my favourite pair I own!






Does anyone else have a favourite shoe company or clothing company????

Wow....where has the time gone????

Hey everyone.....I can not believe that it has been sooooo long since I have been on here.

Time does fly......Halloween was a blast....I dressed up as the Corpse Bride and had a blast!

My husband actually did my makeup ....... I was so impressed with the finished look :) I baked sugar cookies which were the cutest ever!! well, at least I think so hahhaha

I have also received a photo of myself in one of my aprons...the Rebel Full Apron. This photo was taken at a photoshoot with Dana Brushette....really excited about my new website that will be up soon.
