I am loving this piece of artwork at a US/Canada border crossing in Washington/British Columbia. I love that the US Government actually requested and sponsored it. Thanks, Uncle Sam!

weekend roundup

I spent Friday through Tuesday at Walt Disney World in Florida. Here are some of the fun things I did over the weekend...

Had fun flying and people watching at the airport. Tried to go out on Friday night, but the taxi got lost and we ended up just driving around Orlando.

Ate lots of delicious food including crab legs, Japanese food and lots of yummy treats.

I travelled to cool places like Nepal and Norway.

And spent lots of time visiting the more famous sites of Disney.

What did YOU do last weekend?

80s

I found this 1980s duffel bag on Monday while thrifting. I was going to put it in the shop, but have decided to keep it. I love it too much to get rid of it. It's very "Punky Brewster", do you think?

1:10, day one

I am one of 25 local people asked to participate in a project called 1:10 organized by a local branding firm. I have been asked to "express [my]self using color, sketch, word and photography" every day at 1:10 AM or PM for seven days. Here is day one:

bench monday, 8 november 2010

I made an effort to make this week's Bench Monday photo meaningful to my life right now. Everything in the photo has played a role in my life in the past few weeks. I'm not telling what, though... sorry.

artist crush: guylaine couture

I've written about French Canadian artist Guylaine Couture before. I just wanted to share her mixed media collages with you again. Check out more on her website.

cowl

I just finished knitting a quick project for myself... A brown cowl in linen stitch. It went very quickly and was a great way to eat up some left over yarn. And, it's very warm!

Friday night eating sushi with my super funny friend Jimmy. Trying a new sushi roll and loving it... salmon, cream cheese, rice, seaweed wrap, then DEEP FRIED. Talking about life over coffee at the coffeehouse.

An entire day spent with my kids at their second-to-last competition of the autumn season. Passing the time by taking photos of patterns found on the pavement
