Some nice songs and new listings.

I am sitting in my dark house, working on getting some new listings up in my shop with iTunes on shuffle and Wilco's On and On and On came on... and I remembered this amazing video made by high school students I saw back in the summer that uses a mix of old family videos and hand drawn animation. I think it's beautiful. 

Then Cass McCombs song County Line came on. I'm a total sucker for that sad, nostalgic, rhythm. 

Oh yeah, and I put up some new pieces up on my shop today.

Pink frilly and floral romper with little bows on the pockets.

Minty green hand crocheted sweater with hood

Bye for now

There's a heatwave in Toronto that's just starting today.  Tomorrow the high is 33 degrees c and 37 on Thursday.  I woke up early today to take advantage of the morning coolness.  I visited The Common and had an iced mocha and read more of the book Birthing from Within. I felt a bit funny because if you were reading over my shoulder you would have seen the drawings of women squatting giving birth and drawings of many other interesting birthing positions. Oh well, I've got to learn these things so I can try them myself.

My plan for the next few weeks is to tackle some of the drawing and writing exercises from the book.

After coffee, I went for a nice swim at Christie Pits today.  I thought the pool would be less busy in the morning - wrong-o.  However, the water was amazingly cool and made up for the large number of awkward 9-12 year olds.   

After swimming I took a few minutes to watch the trees swaying in the park.

and I thought of the video Victoria created for Jennifer Castle's song One Two Three

Watch it here:

I saw Jen perform at the Music Gallery courtyard a few years ago with Victoria's video playing on a screen in the background.  STUNNING.

Bye for now...
