Julia and I

I also just noticed that Julia and I look a lot alike...

Me!

I haven't been blogging much because I have actually been cheating on Blogger and learning all about Wordpress. It's hard for me to say that here, but it's true! I've been building my Top Secret Project #2 website with wordpress.org and it's coming along nicely (now). A lot of learning and ups and downs, but I am almost finished. Monday morning my dishes are heading to the photo studio for their very first photo session. Once I update the website with the new photos I'll be able to launch! Very exciting. I hope next week.

I was also working on a Facebook page for Top Secret Project #2 and realized I hadn't yet made my own CHILDish face. I love it! I'll be ordering a plate and bowl set and am looking forward to eating my breakfast Cheerios in my very own bowl. 

Faux Logs

Love this simple tutorial from Design Sponge. Make yourself some faux wood to decorate your fireplace.

Orla Kiely

A little update on the post I blogged before Christmas (the one where I attacked a woman at the mall who had an Orla Kiely diaper bag). Well, lucky me I found this beautiful bag under my Christmas tree. My sister picked it up for me when she was in London. The Orla Kiely fan I met at the mall also mentioned that Orla Kiely usually has good sales on in January. She was right. I purchased a matched wallet for half off. Many items are still half off and shipping to Canada is reasonable.

Arlene Adams

I came across this wonderful illustrator today, Arlene Adams.  I love how she uses simple shapes to make detailed illustrations. She also has an amazing sense of colour.

A new baby Boy!

My sister had a baby boy last night, no name and not many details except for this very very cute photo! Welcome to the world!!!!

Top Secret Project #2 Underway

Here are some photos of my melamine plates I received the other day. More details to come...
