Darwin D. Martin House Tour
After numerous delays crossing the border, we finally made it to the Darwin Martin house tour in Buffalo. I’ve always been interested in architecture so the tour was a great chance to learn more about Frank Lloyd Wright’s attention to detail, his style of architecture as well as indoor decor. It was a blistering 43 degrees, and finally rained once the tour was over (breaking the humidity), but worth the trip for sure!
Overall our tour was very informative, and I would recommend it to anyone!
Butterfly Conservatory, Niagara Falls
Last weekend I was surprised with a trip to the Butterfly Conservatory in Niagara Falls. There was a little video before you go into the conservatory and see thousands of butterflies that are stunning colours! They are pretty curious and we saw several that landed on people, including this little friend I made:
Keep up your hobbies, pt 2.
For my friend’s wedding, I got this amazing black silk tulip dress from Maison Clothing, but I had no accessories that would match it, so I decided to make my own.
This is made from a headband from Dollarama, 3 peacock feathers, a metal leaf and a small light pink bead. Oh, and some fabric covered cardboard from a Cheerios box to stabilize the back… gotta use what works!
Keep up your hobbies.
It’s easy to get caught up being a workaholic as a freelancer, and it’s important to have things that are just for YOU.
I’ve enjoyed making clothing and accessories as my hobby, and here is a dress I just finished… it took weeks and weeks because I was so busy – but I’m so glad I took the time to do something for myself!
Perfect for a summer day, this comfortable cotton knit dress can be dressed up or down!
I’ve made another dress using this pattern, but I made a lot more customizations to the top of this dress to make it more unique. This dress was made from this pattern.
Helen’s necklace
Helen is so sweet and happy, I wanted her to have a necklace that is as beautiful as her!
don’t let the little things become big things.
Sometimes when you’re all caught up in the stresses of running your own business, it can be easy to forget all the clients that are so sweet and awesome to work with. My tribute today goes to a very special client that put a smile on my face!
Thanks Sian, you’re awesome!!
FITC Free Ticket
FITC noticed that there is a huge discrepancy between the number of males and the number of females that attend their conference each year. As a way of encouraging females to attend the conference, they had a contest for the top 50 submissions of video or animation. The rules were simple, tell them why you want to attend and you get bonus points for using Flash to make it.
I had the privilege of going to FITC a couple of years ago and loved how inspiring it was to hear all the new technology that was coming up and seeing the incredible diversity in applications for Flash and other related programmes.
So, without further ado, here is my submission that was chosen to receive a free ticket! Yipee!
Warning: this may not make a ton of sense to those who aren’t as familiar with current web trends and technology.
Quentin’s stocking
A friend of mine asked me to make a stocking for her nephew’s first Christmas. Quentin really loves their cat, so Bogey made a special appearance on his stocking!
