Image
 I want these white Doc Martens! What have you been obsessing over lately? BTW, I don't know if everyone here knows, but I have a YouTube Art channel. Here is the link:)  Please subscribe...I would love to connect with you there, too:) If you are interested in seeing one of my sketchbooks, I have scanned and uploaded a PDF file of one of my completed ones (all the pages)! It's on sale at Gumroad for only $5.00 Cdn.:) Here is a sample page:) PS Last day of February, everyone...let us hope and pray that March goes a lot better.

Oh, Flora...how do I love thee? #AlabamaChanin

 If you've been reading my blog for the past few months, then you know my love for Alabama Chanin. Here's the newest addition to my wardrobe. :) Alabama Chanin Flora Waffle Sweatshirt, worn with North Face jacket, UNIQLO pants, and Vans sneakers The organic waffle knit fabric is naturally dyed using Sappanwood sawdust, and the foliage design is hand-painted! What I love about Alabama Chanin is that many of their pieces are one-of-a-kind. PS It was my eldest's birthday when these pics were taken:) How was your weekend? Any new purchases lately?

What have I been watching #28

Image
 These are the movies/TV shows I've seen and loved since my last "what have I been watching" post:) 1) Horns I love how Daniel Radcliffe does all these interesting characters in films after Harry Potter. Horns is one of those. It's an old-ish movie but I just recently saw it, and loved loved loved it! Great plot, and although the twist is pretty predictable, the cast makes this movie worth a watch. 2) Raw This is another old-ish movie I just saw, and man....it was super gory, even for someone like me who doesn't really mind gore. Anyhoo, I liked this movie because of the unique plot line, and Garance Marillier was fantastic as the lead. 3) The Night House This was one of those slow burner films...but once it got going, it got going! Another horror movie with a great plot IMO and Rebecca Hall as the lead was just awesome (I do think she's such a great actress and underrated in Hollywood.) 4) Antlers I've been dying to see this film and so happy it's fin...

 I just finished another garment...yay! Of course, it's another Alabama Chanin pattern, using their Supima cotton fabric in this colour I've been obsessing with lately, Peacock. It's the same colour I used as an underlayer in this dress:) Alabama Chanin Ezra coat using their Supima cotton knit fabric (completely hand-sewn) In progress:) Is there a colour you've been loving lately?

What have I been watching #27- Disney+ edition (Best and Worst)

Image
 These are the movies/show I've just recently seen on Disney+ and as the title suggests, I've seen some really good ones...and ones I really hated. We'll start off with the two I loved: 1) Encanto Such a sweet story with a great cast of voice actors, and well, the song "Don't Talk About Bruno"...nuff said.:) (I should say that I wasn't too happy with the ending just because I felt it negated the whole lesson of not needing magic to be special, but oh well...still loved this movie.) 2) Eternals I had such low expectations for this film, so I was really surprised how much  I ended up  loving this film. Eternals had such a great cast, and I think ChloĆ© Zhao did such a fantastic job in how she dealt with such an epic storyline. Highlight: Kumail Nanjiani as Kingo and Don Lee as Gilgamesh...so awesome. I also think Angelina did a fabulous job as Thena. Now...for the ones I hated:( 3) Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings Man....I know I'm supposed to lo...
