fog and rain

I love this illustration by Jay Fletcher and thought it that it perfectly reflects the weather we've been having for the past few days. 

Cozy Cuppa Tea

I especially love the addition of the felt tags. I'm thinking  some "half sweet vanilla" cozies might have to be made. Inspired by Knit Storm via Etsy

I tried my hand at knitting before the holidays. I really loved it but never really managed to get further then making dish clothes of various lengths. I think I've now discovered another use for those longer, skinnier dishcloths. Mug cozies! 

Flat Rock

It was a beautiful day for a hike to Flat Rock. Yes, that very distant, very flat rock in the top photo. 

Happy Easter!

April already? Happy Easter!

The September Issue

Last weekend I watched The September Issue, an inside look at Anna Wintour and the making of Vogue's September issue. I loved it. Anna Wintour aside the real star or the film is Grace Coddington. Vogue's Creative Director. This women is amazing.

I could draw pictures all day

Some characters I'm illustrating for a new project. I'm having a lot of fun drawing in this style.

I design...

Exploring etsy for some prints I came across these . So simple yet so clever. [and so so true!]

A whole lot of cute

Go Canada Go!

With the Olympic's opening ceremonies happening tonight, I thought this was a very appropriate post. An excellent short video from the creators of the 2010 Visual Identity.  I really love the look and feel of it all. 

Heart

In searching for some inspiration for my Valentines day cards 
I came across stylist Rebecca Thuss.

Love this tea submarine. Would definitely have to find clear glass mugs though.

Where you to?

Beautiful St. John's. Our late afternoon walk turned out to be the perfect time for pictures. 

A beautiful day + Starbucks = perfect Saturday afternoon.

Wise Owl

I had planned on being the Paper Bag Princess for Halloween. I quickly discovered that making the dress was much more difficult then I had envisioned. After several failed attempts I was forced to abandon the Princess idea and come up with something else that I could create in a few hours. Miss Martha Stewart came to my rescue, she had some great ideas for last minute costumes - one of them being fun masks. I paired some brown cords and a ruffly yellow shirt with the mask and voila! Wise Owl.

Chocolate Monsters

Cupcakes I made for our Halloween pot-luck at work. These are so much fun to make! I recommend making a trip to bulk barn to find candy to make the faces - the possibilities are endless!

Halloween

This is not exactly a last minute Halloween costume but I thought I'd share my creation from last year. This year's costume won't really compare to last year but I am quite excited to be the paper bag princess.
