to don't


I keep finding spelling mistakes on my blog. I know I'm a poor speller but nothing is more upsetting than knowing that the few people who read my blog also know I'm a poor speller. If you catch a mistake feel free to let me know.

Pigeons in the subway really freak me out, but two days ago on the way to work I had a touching moment with these little guys. I'm also interested in seeing a baby pigeon. I don't think they really exist.

urban stalagmites

montreal cleanse.



Whew! Montreal is one heck of a town. 48 hours there and I only managed to take a picture of our Valentine's beer n' bagel feast. I spent the night telling/ listening to ghost stories around a loving kitchen table. That may have been my first memorable Valentines Day.

In other lovely news to clarify my last post Robin Lambert and I will be going to Open Engagement the Portland edition! I'm so excited for May! Also this May I'm making a piece for The House that Masons Built! Yey! The Future's so bright...

perogie prance 2010.



I actually made perogies from scratch this weekend. I normally think blogging about cooking and food is a bit silly but i am so proud of these little guys. This weekend I also started working out a concept for a new blog where I try to get people to make the art that Darcy comes up with. I want to make her art dreams come true.
