Hello! I’m writing to you from semi-sunny England!
Having a lovely time travelling all over the English countryside. Just got back from a week in the Cotswolds, and a week in Southampton, and tomorrow I’m off to Bedfordshire.
Hope everyone is is happy in internet land. I’ll be back in the studio in about a week and a half, ready to work on the orders that are coming in.
I just found out that www.remnantclothing.com is closing down on March 1st, and everything is 60% off. I love their recycled creations. I don’t know why they are closing, but in any case, it would be rude to not go on a little spending spree in their sale!
Have I missed anything back in Edmonton? Crazy cold weather??

I am going on Vacation to England! Gotta escape this cold weather!
Any online orders placed February 1st - March 5th will be shipped on March 6th (and 7th if there’s lots and lots).
I have so many ideas for new products and can’t wait to be on the plane with a sketch book and spend 9 hours finally scribbling down all these plans and ideas. Stay tuned… I’ll try and pop in and say hello during my trip.

[note: I'm escaping this freezing cold weather in early February for about a month! The shop http://www,acornstudios.ca will be closed during this time. Just a heads up to order asap if you'd like any geekware shipped before I leave]

Wondering what I made with that stash of calendars, paint chips and catalogues? Oodles and oodles of eco greeting cards!

You exercise, right? You jump around playing Wii games. That means you deserves some cake! Mmmmmm, yummy.

Did you make mix tapes back in the 80’s and early 90’s. I did, I used to make LOADS of them. I remember mix tapes of Blur, the La’s, Pixies, Jane’s Addiction, Radiohead, and so many more. I think all my old mix tapes are over in England….I miss them….
I stumbled across these retro mix tape cards by InvitaPaperStudio and I’m in love. Aren’t they awesome?

I’m busy working on a project for the Provincial government this week. I’m using old calendars, flyers, birthday cards, paint chip books, and packaging supplies. Here’s a few ‘before’ pics of my supplies:




Check back in a few days if you’d like to see what I’m going to be making with all this stuff!
