I thought it would be nice to make some pictures again but it ain't happening. I am bored of the things I always draw, pictures I did in 2005 seem like just yesterday and so it's lunchtime. Perhaps I just need to get back into the mood - it has gotten so I like to draw for clients and be told what to make more than making my own things... how peculiar and a bit lazy! Perhaps too much time on the computer- noooo!
In other news, boy, am I hugely dissapointed that CBC is cancelling my favorite shows JPOD, MVP and Intelligence. Such a shame. sigh.
Exitingly, H&M is collaborating with Marimekko for some spring clothes! I hope to pop in and have a look soon. I wonder if it will sell out in 2 seconds like the other designer collaborations...if so I won't fight for a bag like an animal!
I saw this thing at pottery barn in the girls rooms section the other day- kind of a paper chandelier made of ribbons and flowers - pretty! Likely very easy to make too, especially if you had a paper punch.
And finally, SNORE! It is tax time and I am adding up everything.
taxes? dullard! SO glad we don't have to do that. at least not often. looks like you got some good treats to help you do it xx

Why not do Illustration Friday this week? It might get you inspired again :) Otherwise, draw something from Mexico -- maybe a Mexican hat.

JPOD! I am so, so sad. Thanks for letting me know though. :(

I understand how you feel. I want to do some more sewing but I am so caught up with college work at the moment that I have no time (I'm doing Fine Arts at college).
Nice blog, and I love the book "Crafter's Companion". Very inspirational.

I am sorry to hear that you are not inspired..i think the crappy weather has something to do with it! perhaps a walk? Or go dancing?
I know that there will be a brilliant band at the Gladstone on Friday night along with a lot of DJ's. Maracatu plays good wonderful brazillian music that everyone is happy about!
i hope you feel better tomorrow!

If you are like me, I think you secretly enjoy doing your taxes...collecting all those little recepits, making tallies, putting numbers in little boxes...and maybe at the end of it getting some moany back :)
Atleast its a good excuse for tea and cookies!

That Marimekko collection is actually one I would consider queueing for. I used to work right next to an H&M, pity I don't anymore - let's see if I have the energy in April... Thanks for the tip-off, I hadn't heard about it!

I wrote CBC to complain. I want my Canadain content.
