One Bird , Two Bird , Three Bird , Four . . .

Pigeon... a city bird... it was just asking to be put into pattern. 

A week in August . . .

A week in August... warm and busy... just like this new pattern:).

back to school bookplates . . .

I'm not ready yet to say farewell to the summer, but the new school year is on the horizon. Got to start getting ready for the yellow busses, runny noses and lost and maybe found. Aaah... where did the time go?
Sharing with you these new printables I've designed! I hope you use them and enjoy them:).
To copy: click on the image - it will open up in its own window at a high resolution (300dpi-true size). Copy that to your desktop and enjoy:) Feel free to size them to your liking:)

sweet little trip to Toronto . .

First stop - TORONTO zoo. I watched my girls watching the animals. The animals were not looking very happy... as it was a hot day and they were, well...living in the zoo. I've made up a whole other 'imaginary' zoo inside my head while we were there. Mine had the Yetis:).

Then we went to AGO to see Picasso exhibit. I loved it! My favourite goat sculpture was 'present' and the smell of artistic cockiness was good for my timid lungs. Couldn't take pictures of the exhibit... but AGO itself doesn't disappoint. Exit hall is like a belly of a ship. Felt swallowed by the building... in a good way:).

and... lastly I visited with Carolyn... lovely wine and conversation... and not enough of either:). Planning on another trip... so I can pick up where I left off.

porcelain dreams . . .

Putting together a few pictures from my short, but sweet trip to Toronto... but in the mean time... here's my new 'Porcelain Dreams' pattern. 

off . . .

I'm off onto a tiny adventure. Will be back next week... hopefully with some pictures to show you:)

impossible things . . .

Have you done seven and a half impossible things before breakfast? Well, neither did I. Chances are, I was sleeping while you were having breakfast. Doesn't stop me from making a busy colourful pattern about those impossible things I haven't done... before or after breakfast..:) 

a walk in the woods . . .

Good, old fashioned walk in the woods could clear your head and make it all bear-able:).
