Sew Sweet!

Well, my first solo show is up! That's super exciting for me. The plans are underway for the reception this coming friday... And I'm actually nervous! It's weird knowing my friends/family/whoever are going to show up just got see my work in a cafe... Hopefully some of them like it!! I'm pretty shy at showing off my work...

My neice is turning 2 this friday, and seems to like balloons and candy (and airplanes and flags) more than anyone I know! I found this cake on cakewrecks, and plan on using it as my inspiration for her birthday party!

Anyways, hope to see people friday night! I'll be the one blushing in a corner somewhere...

Art, Work, and Cakes, Oh My!

I have been working on art, getting more cake orders (3 due this weekend!) and also working full time doing some temp work for the next month and a half. Needless to say, it's getting a little hectic.

I have not gotten a start date yet, but sometime within the next month or two, I should be having a show at a cafe downtown Oshawa. More details to come, I hope! My cake section is getting bigger, and that is not because I have put it before my art. I want to leave some surprises for the show.

I recently sold the piece, "Sewing Bird", which I have mixed feelings about. It's always wonderful to know that other people like and want your work, but it was the first piece that made me fall in love with buttons. It started me in this direction. Luckily, I know it is going to a fantastic home!

If anyone is interested in purchasing my work, please let me know via email. They are all for sale unless it says otherwise beside the title of the work. Thanks!

The Blogging Begins...

Hugo and I at the Grad Show at The Ontario College of Art & Design, May 2009. Not sure who the artist of this picture booth was, but we had fun!

So I have contemplated writing my first blog message for awhile, but figured I have nothing of importance to say that people would care to read. This is not to say that I do now, but perhaps getting the first one out of way will allow the creativity to flow...

April 30th was the Drawing for Art! event at the Whitby Station Gallery. I had donated a piece of artwork ("Love Birds") and someone chose it as the one they wanted. I'm happy that somebody other than my mom likes my work. Thank you!

Right now I'm just working on expanding my body of work. A few more pieces should be up on the website soon! A big thanks to my boyfriend Hugo for setting that up for me. Technology and I aren't best of friends yet, but we're trying..

My bakery section has already gotten a little bigger, as I have taken some cake orders. One of them I was working on it late at night and on the hundredth batch of icing, my mixer broke :( A big thanks to my good friend Shannon for saving the day on that one...

Other than my all that and Twilight obsession, I'm going to see Pearl Jam for my 3rd time in august! I'm excited and definitly looking forward to it.

I'm pretty sure a few years back when Blogging became popular I thought it was so pointless and said I'd never do it. And here we are...
