30 November 2006

Wow...between the power outages, ferry breakdowns, snow snow and more snow, it's amazing I've still managed to meet all my deadlines (well...almost all) for Studio 947! I leave on Saturday for Toronto for a week, and then start moving into my parent's little cottage when I get back...oh and somehow, I'm fitting Christmas in there too!!

Here's some pics of our winter wonderland

Hi!

Oh man...I am having craft withdrawl!! It seems I just can't get motivated enough these days to pull all my 'stuff' out of the wardrobe and then proceed to cover every available surface in our little tiny apartment we're renting while our house is being built. I tried to make baby booties for a friend of mine that had twins last month but after trying several times to get them both the same size I finally gave up in a fit of frustration and threw everything back in the wardrobe while cursing the entire time!! Oh the drama!!

I have been trying to finish a scarf for my Dad who's birthday was in SEPTEMBER...rotten rotten daughter!! But my stupid carpel tunnel has been a hundred times worse these days - not sure if it has anything to do with being pregnant or if it's because of all the computer work I've been doing recently.

Presently, I am trying to come up with ideas for the Studio 947 Christmas Card that I would like to get printed next week and sent out as we are already in November...YIKES!!

Tomorrow is the big ultrasound - can't wait! I kinda want to wait until the baby's born to be surprised if it's a boy or girl but my husband is dying to know right this instant. So we'll see if the baby is shy or not tomorrow!

Sock Monkeys

  • Mr. Periwinkle
    Well...it's official...I'm addicted to making sock monkeys! This section will take awhile to grow as I just discovered this new found joy.

Hand Made

  • Craft Labels
    Hand Made Designs by yours truly - Denim, Corduroy, Vintage Fabrics and Felt is what I love to use for my original change purses, handbags and brooches. Please e-mail me for more information on any of my creations.

Knitting

  • Big Blue
    Knitting is a craft that I pick up every few years and go yarn crazy...then...nothing happens. So this time, I'm going to continue down the knitting path and hopefully make more than just scarves.

Collage

  • Artist Trading Cards
    Collage is one of my FAVOURITE forms of art. I love using collage in my paintings, paper craft, jewellry, and my custom fridge magnets.

Bowen Island

  • Maple on Mount Gardner
    Welcome to Bowen Island. Located just twelve miles northwest of Vancouver, Bowen Island is a place like no other. A scenic 20 minute ferry ride from Horseshoe Bay in West Vancouver brings you to Snug Cove, the heart of Bowen. This is where my husband and I live with our two cats, one dog and my sister.
