Furniture

Check out this before and after project from Color-Stripes.  I wish I had the money for a studio space to work on furniture projects like this.  I have so many ideas, just lacking the time, money, and space.  One of these days...

Music

I ordered a Brigitte Bardot record on ebay the other day... it's pretty great.  I will probably play it on repeat in the summer while drinking fancy fruity cocktails and playing dress up with my besties, Reanna and Megan.  Have a listen.

Toronto



For Christmas, Peter got us tickets to see How to Dress Well in Toronto at The Drake Hotel, annddd we are staying overnight!! Peter and I did this last year for my birthday, when he got us tickets to see Animal Collective.  It's just the greatest venue, hotel, restaraunt, bar, cafe, drug store eveeerrrr.  Here are some pictures, be jealous.

2011

I've decided to dedicate this year to pursuing any and everything that sparks my interest.  Last year I spent too much time forcing things, working endlessly towards a career that I'm still not quite sure is right for me.  So, this year is about living, and enjoying life, and pursuing passions.  I've already signed up for an 8 week pottery class at the Buffalo Art Studio.

I am also going to be taking some cooking classes at Delish on Elmwood Ave.  There are so many classes to choose from, it's hard to decide.  And...  they offer wine to drink while cooking, yeah it's pretty great!

The Elmwood Yarn Shop offers open lessons Friday evenings.  Basically for five dollars you can stop in and someone will help you on whatever it is you are working on.   I'm also going to a few of their knitting classes where I will learn to make these cute socks!!!

and..

these reversable scarves!!
