hi everyone
I hope you had a lovely weekend - here in toronto it was so coooold. how I envy the countries that have warm weather right now. we had a busy weekend with set-up for the capacity show and yesterday I did a photo shoot with some of the other organizers of the Do Design event that is happening next week in our neighbourhood. it will be in NOW magazine and I will post the photo when it comes out on thursday. I hope I don't look silly or annoyed - I always try not to have too big of a smile - fearing I will look silly and when I don't smile I look annoyed. oh well. the highlight of my weekend was getting my new bird brooches - I packaged them on this nice red cardstock - I like how the colour of whatever your wearing will come through the little heart cut out - they will be for sale at the upcoming love and rummage sale, I thought it would be a good idea to put some of them on the b.a.h. etsy shop for those of you that are not local. lots to do today including working on wholesale orders and lots of sewing.
I am going to try and keep myself warm. enjoy your day! xxa
p.s. the beautiful crochet covered stones are by the lovely margie.

    Hi Arounna! I've been browsing your blog for quite some time but never posted so here goes! Love, love, love, love your work. This brooch is just gorgeous...what material is it made of?

    On a side note, I see everybody suffering from the cold...I was in Chicago in December and I almost died, it was soo cold. I live in South America, so thankfully we don't have temperatures dip that low. We don't get seasons here, and I surely miss that!

    Hi Arounna, gee, don't know if you would have swapped for the heat we had in my corner of Australia yesterday - phew...one of those westerly's that blows hot air, so no relief all day and well into the night until the southerly hit, sent some rain and cooled things down a bit :) Love your work.

    Come visit me with Margie next month and take a break from the cold! We had a lovely 24˚C today :)
    That birdie melted my heart ♥
    This morning the postwoman delivered the pillowcase I won here a few months ago!! It took two months to get here, but it was SO worth the wait. I LOVE it! Thanks Arounna.

    Here in Buenos Aires we are having 97°F. If you want, I can send some hot weather to you. But, please, send me some snow! :-)
