The Busy Months.

Memory of a Summer Whisper.

As the holiday season approaches things at my work really start to ramp up.  The best way to handle this time is really to just head down and power through, but also to make sure and escape once in a while for some quiet time with just a set of pencils crayons.  I've been researching Lithuanian textiles and folk costumes for the last while and it's really been inspiring me.  Here are a couple more 'Lithuanian bears' to add to the mix.

Heavy Weave.

Towards the Woods...

I feel like this guy is telling me to run to the woods this weekend and join in a big forest party.  Instead, I will be running downtown and joining in the fun of the Zombie walk! I have never been before, because I am terrified of zombies (irrational fear I know)...but since I am turning thirty something this weekend, I also feel like it's time I start facing my fears! Though, I still not ready to deal with spiders.

Bear and Bear!

As the seasons trade places...I can tell that hibernation is becoming higher on my priorities list.  Also, I have been digging up all things made of wool, that have been buried in closets for the sunny seasons. Oh winter.

Hey Mr. Postman.

My mail box has been happily supplying me with some lovely things these day, but I am also very happy to see that my friends from all over have been receiving their own gifts from me! So a big fuzzy Thank you to all who shared about my bunny zine! Jaime made a lovely post over on Send More Mail, Jessica from Nature is my Friend also gave the bunnies a great shout out, and Jeannine from Saylor Made just made an epic mail art filled post with a sweet bunny mention! Finally, my new friends from overseas Le Funky Mamas also dropped my little zine a line.  Happy fall to all!

Now as for my own treats, I am posting some snippets of the treasures that have graced my letter box as of late.  There is a lovely birthday card full of unicorns from my friend Heather in SF.  I love unicorns and I love Heather...and I frickin' adore this card!

There is a beautiful stamp pack from Jaime, including a little curling stamp, which made my morning when I opened it, as I am hoping to get married at a curling club here in the city.

There is a letter made up of several postcards from my friend Clare, one of my oldest pen-pal's after Skye.  We've been writing letters since High School and I love that the story continues.

And finally there is an incredible wedding thank you card from Airy.  Filled with photos of a wonderful day, that made my heart swell when I opened it.

The Simple Stuff.

So I am so excited about this bit of news I have to share tonight!  The greeting cards I collaborated on with the most excellent folks over at Kid Icarus are all printed up and ready for cuddles!  If you don't know Kid Icarus, please check out their website, and if you are in Toronto make sure you stop by and visit their store/print shop located in the heart of Kensington Market.  These are my first ever greeting cards and I am over the moon with a net collecting stardust, stray sun-rays and bursting with excitement.  I have linked to the Kid Icarus official blog post so you can check out more photos and if you are interested in taking a couple of these guys home, just shoot an email over here with a request: info@kidicarus.ca or stop by the store!

cotton dreams.

October is so pretty here in Ontario.  Our trees are getting all fancied up for one last big night out before the winter sleep and it's impossible to not want to join in the party.  Well, I don't know about you, but I can't wait to break out into this gorgeous day and soak up the beauty...let's go!

all through the night.

lake dreams.

Bunny Zine!

All piled high and ready to be fly off to new homes.

The Bunny zine is all wrapped up! I am pretty happy with the results, though some of the water colour was lost in translation, or in the copy machine.  I will learn from this when making my next zine...any ideas what that should be?

And now i would like to make a little list about the good things from this weekend:
1. All night crafting at the workroom, during Nuit Blanche.  Getting to hang with lots and lots of good people...and seeing some old friends and sharing some belly laughs!
2. Butter Tarts...two batches...two emergency phone calls to grandma...still learning.
3. Rainy and cold weekend = long and cozy nap!
4. Good news from oceans away!

Bunnies doing what bunnies do best...hopping.

A bunny sleeping...which is essentially what i did all weekend.

Carrot party, it's a bunny thing.

There are also bunnies on the last page!
