hi :)

I'm working really really hard this week and have been going thru some personal challenges over the past few weeks(but i'm okay). Sorry if I've been a little distant, I've just needed a bit of a break. I'm making this post extra big and juicy because I'm getting ready for the big craft sale this Friday, so I probably won't be posting again till Saturday. Please leave me comments because they encourage me so much and I love to hear from you :] See you again soon, love LA This Friday, I'll be one of the vendors at Winnipegs' showing of Handmade Nation :] If you're local, come say hi :) Details: Friday, June 19 Ellice Theatre, 585 Ellice Ave 7pm - DIY Craft Sale 7:30pm - Handmade Nation Screening Admission $5 Here's a sneak peak of a *few* things for Friday... My friend Vivianna (& her Robots) and I collabed and she mailed me lots of pretty things to share with Winnipeg :] Her knitting is beautiful and amazing! Thanks Viv! I wanted to make knitting needle bracelets soooo badly. Keith and I worked on them for a few hours (with lots of sword fights and giggling) and we decided they just weren't a hit. Does anyone know the perfect way to make them? I designed and ordered these dope buttons and mirrors :] And of course, my favorite part of the whole thing is playing store ;) Stamped Paper Bags Nexxxxxt, Happy 31st Anniversary Dad and Mom!!! I love you and I'm so glad you are together!!! (And this photo makes me laugh everytime i see it. You're awesome!) And my favorite part of this post... Moguls! I'm always attracted to Moguls. I love people with drive, who don't give up, and who pursue every angle of themselves and their abilities! Here are some of my faves:

PS. Paris Hilton Bff2 Starts tomorrow! Don't judge, the first season was awesome and I only expect it will get better ;)

  9. hi hi it's nice to hear from youuu again :)
    well done on keeping being creative and interesting all of the time, and i think you should have been on your list because you are awesome.

    also, how good are paper bags?! i like painting on them because then they are pretty AND reusable and that is cool. still not quite as good as canvas bags, but they're up there.

    have a nice show!

    I did that without looking at any comments, I swear! {okay, I read through the comments before I posted them into here, but I'd already written them all down - swearsies}.

    BUT - k, i have to tell you...you know how when you click on a site and the internet bar down at the bottom says it's loading or done or whatever but it shows the page you're going to? well...with the pictures if you just, uh, hover over them...well, same thing. And I'd say 23 of the 24 pictures actually have the names of the peeps in them! Jay Leno is the only one it doesn't, me thinks. tee-hee. Is that considered cheating? cuz I don't think so.
