Re: Treat
Not so long ago I used to peddle my wares door to door in any town I happened to visit, but as my hats became more popular it became impossible to sell the hats and make the hats. Now I have the most wonderful Sales Rep in Toronto, Doreen Smith of Instyle design. It is…
Amelia Rose
I have been having so much fun designing for next year’s fall line. I gave myself the challenge of coming up with a fleece fascinator. The thing is that fleece is so practical and fascinators have nothing at all to do with practicality. So, this is what I came up with. I have taken some…
A Perfect Birthday.
At my age the thing I want to do most on my birthday is nothing. It was an entirely successful day. Slept in with the help of Tony who got Dusty off to the bus. Lounged around and drank coffee. Made a mess without cleaning it up. Then I headed off to the spa for…
By Jove I think I’ve got it.
Had quite a bit of fun with my camera and tripod the other day. I am photographing outside right now, so the one big challenge was that my nose got redder and redder from the cold as my little photo session went on. Good thing for photoshop. Not only did I get rid of the…
A great discovery
One part of my self written job description is to browse the web and look at other people’s blogs. It’s quite hard to convince Tony that I am really working, but I assure you I am. Yesterday I came across Helen Dardik’s blog. Which of course led me to her etsy site, orange studio and…
My Protigee
It seems that Dusty is a chip off the old block or maybe that’s chip off the old block head. I think he designed quite the alien head piece. After our millinery session we went to the Lunenburg Community Centre. On Sundays the gym is open for kids between 12:30-2:30. For a $5 donation kids…
The Neighbourhood
We have about one month to go before we move into our new home. I think the thing I’m looking forward to most is our new/old neighbourhood. A while back I was with Dusty and we were walking by there and he announced that he was thirsty, in that “I can’t go on” sort of…
Dusty and the Fire Hat
This year, despite being ridiculously busy around the holidays, I decided that nothing was too good for my little boy. I was going to make him the ultimate hand felted hat. Some facts about Dusty, His favourite colour is red. This is because, Akkar, the coolest Bionicle is red. He adores all things powerful that…
Colour Confusion
This painting thing is kind of overwhelming. I’m not even doing any work, but choosing these colours is quite the workout. I thought I had it down. Summer Lime in the dining room/living room and butter in the kitchen, but I went to look at it today and for one it seems that they are…
Getting Out
Only nine more days left of winter vacation. Not that I’m counting or anything like that. For some reason the french school has an extra two days of break. Well, maybe I do have a bit of cabin fever. It looks similar to PMS. On Sunday I realized I had not been outdoors in 48…
