Strong winds

by

So I went to a wedding this past weekend.  It was a friend of Steph's, a fellow designer that has peppered her work past and looked to her as a mentor of sorts.  The bride was young, 25ish, meaning the guests, minus the family, were approximately the same age as her.  Me, being a robust 43 years … [Read more...]

Rocking Your Orb Without Swearing – Part II

by

So, you've got your pumpkins all wiped down and ready to go... take a deep breath and just start. Trust the stencil and cut slightly inside of the line - you can always shave out a bit more if the opening is too small, but you can't put back what's been cut. Orb-viously. It's easier to carve a … [Read more...]

by

Man do I love a good storm.  Seriously.  Okay I have friends who have been evacuated from their homes in the States ...so that's a bit much.  But bring on some non-hurricane rain and wind and I'm all over it.

This conference does … [Read more...]

A Gift: Closet Therapy

by

I stayed with my sister when I went to Toronto last week for the Blissdom conference. Though I have kind offers from lots of friends willing to put me up for a few nights (thanks, all!) I always choose to stay with her because we don't get to see each other as much as we'd like, and when we hunker … [Read more...]

From My Closet – October 24th, 2012

by

After doing a re-set on our hall closet last week, I noticed I could use a few new shots of colour for fall. This is a good trick to use when your wardrobe is mostly monochromatic, as mine is. Hits of texture, pattern, and/or colour are necessary. This outfit isn't new per se, but a few new … [Read more...]
