One of my amazing friends....

...has launched her Betty and Bing Letterpress Print shop! I've seen the work myself, and it's made with love and a keen eye for colour. I can't wait to see more!

What I covet

Covet Garden! An online magazine created by Lynda Felton, Jessica Reid and Rhonda Riche with such interesting articles about people and their spaces. This is their third issue, and while it's really tempting to start here, start from issue one! My friend and fellow illustrator Julia Breckenreid's space is featured!

When it's feeling cold

It's nice to head to Allen Gardens. There's more plants to see since they've moved the large greenhouse from College and University (that belonged to U of T), and it's cozy and warm inside. I was there this past spring and took a few pictures, and ran outside with Maggie in the newly (to us) designed paths and gardens.

A project

Finding free things is the greatest, especially when the object is fairly interesting. I found this chair on Gerrard Street, and wheeled it home atop Maggie's stroller. I painted it, and am in the process of recovering it with the red/pink floral pattern pictured here.

Serious Stuff

When I look at this, I know that it was drawn with abandon. No knowledge of what things should look like or where things should go, no structure, just a dreamy mixture of colours and lines.
Was she thinking of something? I will never know, my daughter drew this when she was only 1 month shy of two.
