another great sunny day!
What an exciting day! I started my day with a few cut-ups. One, a portrait of my guru, Beatrice Wood... part of a series I'm now realizing :)Second I started my image for a project I've begun with my art school partner in crime, and mom to be, Julie Chiasson.
We've started a book that with be mailed around Canada to six participating artist, each contributing a piece done in their own particular style. I of course have done a cut-up as my first piece.
I've been wanting to pay homage to my camel friend for a while now... and today was the perfect day to do so.
I've been working on some new critter designs as well. A camel, of course, a giraffe and a lion. I was so excited about the lion that I had to force myself to stay focused and finish my cut-ups!
The most exciting part of my day so far has been receiving my acceptance letter form Halifax Crafters to participate in their annual spring show in May!
I have so many fun crafts planned!
Now that the temperature is starting to change and the days are about to become longer, I can't get the garden off my mind... and my garden inspired crafts - don't you worry, they'll be coming soon!!!

an update on White Corolla
After discovering the music video for White Corolla I went on to research the artist more.It turns out that young Londoner Julia Pott already has quite the artistic career. Along with her video and short films she was a featured seller recently on Etsy. She even animated an ad for the handmade marketplace site.
She's currently GIVING AWAY FRAMES from the video and her short film "First Crush" - for free!
Check out her Etsy store, website or blog for more info:

for the little fellas
This Friday my little friend Finn celebrates his first year in this world! Congratulations Finn!
I wanted to make him something special, but I was having a hard time deciding on the perfect thing.
Last Christmas I made Finn a little stripped felted owl, a fast favorite, which soon became his teether.
Yesterday, after a quick stop at the Superstore, I was perusing the latest Viva magazine and came across little organic cotton vegetable teethers.
What a great idea I thought... and why not make them out of wool?
I started with a carrot, similar to the one pictured in the magazine, and moved on to make my own beans and a strawberry. I did a test soaking the berry and freezing it, to help sooth really swollen gums. So far it seems like that theory will work nicely... Finn can be the final judge!
I wanted to take a nice pic to show everyone before the sun went down and we lost the light - I'm just so excited!
Mister however was not impressed with not being the center of attention and promptly stormed my set - such a drama queen.
All my little friends, your teethers are on their way!
