day 76 (Blog Crush)
So as I mentioned in a past post we had a fantastic day on Wednesday in Peterborough at the blogger meet up and tea at Michele Karch-Ackerman's show "Foundling" at the Peterborough Art Gallery.
A couple of pics from that day.
You might recognize these ladies as they have all been been stitched these past week Me, Mel, Caren, Elycia, Astrid , my daughter Claire, Desiree and Carly
Well almost all have been stitched.
See the girl posed perfectly in the middle of the group? With the lovely hair that she told my daughter Claire was courtesy of pink lemonade?
I have been crushing on this girl and her blog for a long time. And then I found out that she was coming to the tea!!! I must admit I was very nervous meeting her, I fumbled words, stuttered a bit and got a bit giddy. She was so sweet and nice and funny.... just making me more of a babbling idiot. I managed to get out the words. "Do you mind if I stitch your portrait?"
and she said yes!
Thanks so much Elycia! I swear next time we meet I will be less a fool!

day 71
Miss James of Bleubird Vintage.
I really wanted to embroider the entire family. They are all so threadworthy.
But alas I only had one day and you have the beautiful James.

Day 70 (Blog Crush)
A Girl Named Astrid.
Anyone who knows Astrid is immediately smitten with her. She is but 15 years old but encompasses everything that I have spent a lifetime to achieve. She knows exactly who she is.
She is the "it Girl". She is a beautiful photographer, incredibly talented artist, lovely model (you will be seeing Astrid in many more pieces to follow...) the best artist assistant (she helps me with photo shoots, styling and again as a model for subject matter) .
I feel very lucky that she is my friend.

Day 69 (Blog Crush)
The Stunning Elsie from "A Beautiful Mess"
What can you say about Elsie in a small blog post.
She is the cutest, most creative, stylish, talented, ambitious girl on the block.
Her wedding album is drool worthy, as are her workshops (ecourses), outfit posts and photography ....
and she is so darn sweet!
Thanks Elsie!

Day 68 (Blog Crush)
Caren from Tea and Chicadees (a blog about the little things).
I met Caren a few years ago . She had the cutest shop in town and asked if I would be interested in selling some of my prints there. This was the beginning of one of my most cherished friendships.
When we see each other we get as giddy as school girls. We share a love of tea, all things vintage, graphic novels and comic books and David Sedaris. Her treasuries on Etsy are so beautifully curated, they just blow my mind.
Oh and check out her awesomely curated etsy shop at The Vintage Apartment!

day 67 (blog crush)
I have been following the blog
Doe-C-Doe forever. The author
Gina has the most inspiring, beautiful, humorous posts that always make my day.
She makes the most beautiful embroidery.
She takes the most whimsical photos too. Her toy photos always make me smile.
My favourite thing about Gina? Aside from being extremely sweet, super creative and unbelievable talented?
Her accordion playing. My kids gather round as soon as I am playing one of her songs.

Day 66 (Blog Crush)
Blog Crush number 4.
Erin of Calivintage.
I have been crushing on Erin forever.
Erin's outfit posts are always the perfect combination of impeccable style with a great sense of humour.
I am going to be having a style icon series and you bet you will be seeing Erin all stitched up again wearing another fabulous frock.

DAY 65 (Blog Crush)
Miss Modish (aka Jena)
Another stunner I know. It might as well be bombshell week all over again.
Whenever I read something interesting I always send it to my evernote. Well Jena's business and creativity tips make up most of what I have saved there. She is the most insightful guidance counsellor to indie businesses there is .... hands down.

Day 64 (Blog Crush)
Blog Crush today is none other than the gorgeous Jill from Lune Vintage.
Jill is drop dead gorgeous. On top of that she has the greatest style sense that makes her even more breathtaking.
But it's not just her beauty that I fawn over. Jill is a savy business woman.
She is owner of a fabulous vintage shop and takes in on the road in the summer in the cutest Boler trailer.
She is one of the co-authors of the Indie-Business course of which I am proud to be an alumni.
To boot she is a fellow Canadian. And you know us Canadians. We like to point that out.

day 63 (Blog Crush Week)
This week is dedicated to all the bloggers that I crush on.
I have always been a blog lurker.
I love to read them but never comment. If I did my comments would consist of "you are so cool", and "that's awesome", and probably another "you are so cool" and maybe a "I wish we were friends" and I don't want to scare anyone or sound to lame... so that is why I lurk.
Blogs are funny, you get so attached to the people who write them. They become your friends without ever having to meet.
These gals are like that for me. I can't wait to hear what they are up to, what they are wearing, what they are making... I just can't wait to hear from them.
I am proud to say that I have left my lurker status behind me and have spoken to all these ladies and they are as sweet and nice as I could have imagined.
And best of all they all agreed to be featured in the 365.
Blog Crush number 1.
My Girl Thursday.
I do not just follow Thursday on her blog. I follow her around our city to thrift stores, craft shows, indoor playgrounds, and splash pads. I followed her for so long that she finally gave in and now we are friends.
