about blush & tales

hi! my name is tricia. i'm so glad you're here! thank you for taking interest in my passion for handmade home decor & gifts and everything in between. my love for crafting started when i was just four years old, and as i entered my young adult years, it grew into a passionate past-time to get in touch with my creative side. i find it so therapeutic, and so re-energizing to create, to be completely lost in the stillness of the process of making things, especially in the midst of the busyness of our day-to-day lives. it truly is one of my favourite things to do to fill my cup and to recalibrate! 

a little bit about me - i live in the beautiful city of calgary, and i love taking advantage of all it has to offer. you can find me hiking the beautiful trails in the rocky mountains with friends (or sometimes solo!), spending as much time as i can by the water, when it's not frozen for much of the year ... i love white water rafting, kayaking, or just being by a river, listening to the calming waves, doing absolutely nothing but being still. 

when not crafting, i like to prioritize my mental health by being around my wonderful family and friends, moving and recharging my body and mind by boxing (nothing like a little padwork for fun!), cycling, and trying out a variety of workout classes to challenge myself. if you're ever in my city and are needing a gym buddy, i'm your gal! or if you fancy a good meal, most ESPECIALLY brunch, i'm your gal too. there is no in between, right?!

thanks again for being here! i hope my handmade items give you as much joy as i get making them!
