By Jove I think I’ve got it.

January 25, 2010

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

January 20, 2010

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

January 17, 2010

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

January 12, 2010

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

January 8, 2010

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

December 30, 2009

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

December 29, 2009

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…

Gingerbread houses and other frivolities

December 22, 2009

My days have been filled with joyful uselessness. I had big plans of painting our new house, but every time I was just about to head over there it seemed crucial that I make a felted pumpkin or something like that. Dusty and I and my friend Katja with her daughter Lilly spent a day…

A perfect ending

December 12, 2009

Today was the perfect ending to a wonderful hat season. The Hubbards Market was super busy and I sold lots of hats. It was beyond cold in that beautiful barn, but people came out to support their local market. I’m a terrible chicken when it comes to driving in the snow, so when I woke…

Olivia

December 10, 2009

This is the time of year where I have all these things to do, but I find I can’t quite focus on them. I just find myself wanting to make new pretty things for next season. This is my new headband fascinator. Her name is Olivia. I have a few posted up on my etsy…
