OH MY GOSH!!

new home!




Mark found a Bees Nest!


OK....Where do I start?
So I have moved back to Nelson BC. My father and my husbands father have fallen ill, and family seemed to
be the most important in our lives. We have found a home in the beautiful Slocan Valley, that we feel we can
nest and create while being close to family when they need us the most.

Yup, it was a tough circumstance, but a easy decision to come home. My new Saga starts May 1st.
I have access to a studio space on the property, and we are also planning to get our selves some
chickens, and goats.

This is the other side of me essentially. Lady of the mountains, hanging with the animals and plants that sustain
us. The city was rad....Inspiring, creative, freeing and of course simulating. My major concerns where the food
and water while living in the heart of Montreal. It was disgusting at times. My hubby and I value food and water
with sacred consciousness and started having interesting conversations about survival, tainted food chain, etc.

I had no idea Dad would fall ill, but somehow the events unfolding matched my intuition with another big change.
It has been a very revealing time in my life. So here comes the creative challenges!!

So we shipped our stuff back on GREYHOUND, and my hubby forgot to insure my sewing machines and my Serger
is smashed. So I am in limbo waiting for this house, new studio, and new serger!! As well as having totes of RAD Montreal
fabric at my fingertips, just waiting for me to cut and drape!!

Studio!

Here is some pics of stuff I am working on and my revved up studio pallete

Weekend in Saint Calixte

I gave in and went for a weekend trip with my hubby Mark and his
bandmate Dominik to his home 1 hour north of Montreal.
The community is called Saint Calixte. It is nestled in the ancient
Laurentian mountains ( very small compared to BC!) on a small
lake. Beautiful maple trees and windy roads that felt familiar.

I had big hopes for meeting some animals, really needed some
creature comfort!
Well that came quick, when Domink showed us his kitties
Bzinga, and La Bzinga. Two little furry lovers. Bzinga did not
come out until sunday, but L a Bzinga and I got pretty
aquainted sleeping and playing together!.

While on a walk to the frozen waterfall, we picked up a friend
The most lovable little grey kitty that followed us around town
and then to the lake, where we had a massive cuddle session!!

RELIEF!!

In other news, my Dad is doing better, he knows he had a huge
wake up call, and plans to take better care. He needs tools to
mend his widowed broken heart!! Much love and support to him!.

Still waiting for Kim, she will be flying here to join the studio
SOON!! She had a very sucsessful art show in Nelson at Oso Negro
cafe, check it out at ifeltfine.blogspot.com

Where is our minds....

ALL of our empathy to all those affected by the
earthquake in Haiti. We had our own scare as
well. Marks my husbands father had a large
tumor removed from his bladder, and was in the
hospital same night as we found out about the
quake. Thru this shake down I created alot.
I see two distinct lines coming thru.
One is POST, as in post city, post collapse,
post monetary, and the other sheering colour
block geometry.

It has been lovely to allow myself space to create
one of a kind as well as made to order pieces.
I feel it is a good balance for customers and my
own creative wandering.

I feel some really good vibes around me, and
super inspired!
Here is some pics of what I am throwin down!

sorry !!

SORRY!
Life has been very busy theses days. I take really fun pictures
then forget to post or keep up.BAD BLOGGER!
I am going to make a big effort to post more regularily ok!.
So here is the new work room, new fabrics, and yes new light!
So I lost my favorite camera ever in another crazy bike posse mission.
So I altered this jacket, and pocket......
I guess not because the camera must have slipped out of
my pocket.
SHIT! This was my baby treasure. On my roughest days it still
made me look decent!
So I went out and got the closest model, and a new tripod!
I have to go now and document my honeys new band.
Video and digital camera session!
