Freedom Clothing Collective Vignette - Spring edition

Freedom Clothing - Spring 2012 from Freedom Clothing Collective on Vimeo.

Thanks to the ladies at Freedom Clothing Collective for including my tote bag in their latest vignette! (Tote can be found at the Freedom store in Toronto.)

The video is too cute for words. Just watch as these clothes dress and undress this model.

Goodness gracious - I can't wait to see this!

Current Obsession: Iris Apfel

I can't get enough of this lady right now. Her collection for MAC Cosmetics is outstanding - enough that slather turquoise shadow all over my eyelids.



The collection launched last Tuesday and sold out almost immediatley. I didn't have a chance to pick up any of the beaufitl lipsticks, but I did grab the --- nail polish - which is AMAZING! Best pink ever!



If you're looking for similar colours to Scarlett Ibis and Party Parrot, I'd recommend:

Here's to new beginnings.

Handmade and screen printed chevron tea towel.

Hello and Happy New Year! It's been a while since I've written here. The later half of the previous year, I was busy with my new job at Anthropologie. For the first time ever, I felt settled with my job and being in a workplace with like-minded individuals.

One of the wonderful and talented people I've had the pleasure of meeting and working with, is Andrew Ritchie, blogger for Martha Moments. I thought I was Martha-obessesed until I met Andrew! His blog even scored him an invite to the Martha Stewart show a couple of years back.

Andrew did a lovely little feature on yours truly (moi) on his blog and for that, I wanted to say thank you Andrew - for a lovely start to the new year.

With that being said, I've done a quick update on the shop - featuring one of my favorte new designs - chevrons.

My mum and I screen printing. She's become quite the pro!

Hanging my textiles to air dry. Next phase: sewing.

Stop by the shop and... shop(!) and stop by Andrew's blog if you haven't already.

Shop: Kid Icarus

Let me just start by saying, sorry blog for having neglected you so much lately. I've started a new job where I wake up at 4:45am and commute for two hours a day. In addition, making sure my home is in proper order and of course, working on new designs and products for the shop.

Hard work indeed pays off and I'm so excited to announce that our tea towels can now be found at Kid Icarus in Kensington Market, Toronto. It's one of my favourite spots in the city and KI is one of the cutest shops around with some really great people running it. Be sure to drop by and support local and handmade artists.

Inspired by Nature

Here's a preview of some designs I've been working on. The tree pattern was inspired by my road trip to Miami earlier this year. The trees in Pennsylvania really stood out - they looked so perfect and somehow magical. The print is done with india ink on mylar. It took me over a week to do each individual leaf with a brush.

The random feather design was something that happened to come to mind. The print above is a 4 colour screen print on hemp/ cotton that I sewed into a tea towel. I hope to have it on the shop soon.

The colours, where inspired by my pedicure/ manicure. I mixed the light blue fabric paint to Sephora's Havana Dreams nail colour, which is my favorite new blue.

There are so many other designs that I have in mind that need to come to fruition. I hope to share them with you soon!
