daily inspiration...


isn't this just the cutest thing!! and im just loving this colour scheme of teal/black/white right now! found here.

all stars..

so at the moment im totally sick of the snow, and cannot wait for spring!! and spring shoes!! i had some flats on the other day and cant wait till i can wear them everyday, and out side! and flip-flops!! but i already have a ton of sandals and a few pairs of flats i really like, so the only new shoes im planning on for spring are a new pair of low top converse. and i really want the grey ones!
i want these.


these are what i have right now, but are no good out side in the snow cause they have so many holes!! and hardly any sole left!


im also LOVING mustard yellow right now, and these are super cute, but i dont know if i would really wear them enough.



and i really would not complain if i had a whole closet full!!

the workroom

So like I said in my last post I was at the workroom in Toronto last week. we have a new project, the client project, where we work with a client to create a product under their aesthetic and guidelines. this year karyn at the workroom is our client, and we're working on making a skirt kit, and one project/kit of our choice. i want to make fat quarters for karyn, and in our next meeting in 2 weeks we'll see what she decides. so here are a few pictures of the workroom. its a super cute place to take classes, work on your own projects, and buy fabric!

Finished Paper to Cloth

So a few weeks ago the Textiles studio got use of the school Gallery for our student exhibition. I actually have a few pieces up in the gallery, but one of my favourites is my Paper to Cloth project. Here are a few pictures of it. The wall piece is the first part of the project that we had to hand in, being as close to exact as our paper design, and the second piece is a belt, the part of the project to take the design and make it into a something.

I'm Done My Bags!!

So the project that we have due next week in our studio class is our Bag project, to produce a series of three bags. And I'm all done sewing mine!! Not that I'm all done the project tho, I still have labels to make and sketchbook to finish, but the bags are all done and put together!!! I dont think that I've ever been done a project this early. I must say that I'm very proud of my self. For this project I decided that I wanted to work with printing my own fabric, and then working with more of a simple shape for the bag. During our lectures and my research time I really found that I liked old utility bags, like mail bags, sailor bags, post sticker bags, and news paper boy bags. But I couldn't find one of those shapes that I really wanted to use, and felt more inclined to go with a more modern, hand bag. So thats what my project turned out to be, a series of purses with the printed themes of mail, sailor and newspaper. Hope you like them!

Inside pockets that are attached to the lining.

Etsy Love

So i'm quite the Etsy lover, and have found many things that i just love, but have never made a purchase. But i may have just found the first thing i'm gonna get. I just happened across Nonfiction Tees and just love some of their tee shirts!








All of these prints go right along with the theme i'm working on for school right now, all about text. I started out with a print project using newspaper, and now im on a whole theme of text prints, including handwriting. For my current project i had also wanted to include maps, but dropped that idea for this time, but will for sure bring it back soon. Hence i just love all these shirts, and i think that the French map is going to be mine! I also really like the one with all the newspaper titles, and think that i might keep that idea and do a similar print sometime. Hope you like too!
