Shyte and Snow birds

Well it's been awhile since i have written here. Alot is going on.

First of all this morning was a HUGE surprise. Walking into Addy's room, there was an odor of shyte (no other way to put it) not thinking much of it, until we walked up to her crib!!! It was everywhere. Bed sheets, clothes, hands hair, face, sheets, bed bumper, shall I go on!!! So my little angel had a morning bath, and her room aired out.

My mom purchased a bike for me, and I can't tell you the freedom I feel when I ride. Today I rod 13km. It was amazing. I need to add some bits to the bike (bell, rack on the back). This week I should be getting the Chariot, which means Addy will be able to come with me!

Now today was BC's 150 birthday, and Penny and I went down to the Legislature to listen to our PM talk and open the ceremonies. Alot of blah blah, but the best part was the snowbirds. They were amazing. I took some really amazing photos, they flew right over us. I had goose bumps just watching them.

Beat the heat

Wow summer is here! I wish I could be working with clay, but it's just to warm to even touch the stuff. I have miniature donuts that require icing!!! On that note I finally tried my vibrating tumbler. After reading up on it, I decided I would try plastic pellets, and you know it seems to be working. I'm really happy with how the beads are turning out.

Small Break

So I have decided to take a small break from Working with clay, to organize my work area, and as most of you know there is ALOT of work to do!!!! You just never know when you might need that ball of rubber bands, or that inch long piece of twine!!!!

On that note, I have taken (surprise surprise) more pics of Addy. The camera just loves her!

Enjoying the nice weather, and putting my feet up, happy trails to all

THANK YOU DAVID LEVI SALON

I just want to give a HUGE thank you to the David Levi Hair Salon (www.davidlevi.ca) for donating the glass bottles that we used to create this collection of Bottles of Hope.
For a closer look click here:

These bottles will be given to cancer survivors and patients at the annual Relay for Life in Nanimo BC. Each bottle contains a message of hope.
Thank you to Vanessa, my mom (Sandy) my sister (Deirdre) for helping create these masterpieces!

Sunny day

So I finally picked up some sunglasses for Addy.. TOOOO CUTE!
I hope everyone is having a great long weekend. I finally let loose, and had a few drinks yesterday. Strongbow was my liquid of choice. Spent it with a good group of friends. It was something that was well needed, and I feel refreshed.
I also changed my apperance and cut my hair... and cut I did. Picture will soon follow!
No clay as of just yet, but perhaps later on in the day, I finally recieved my copy of "Creating Lifelike figures in Polymer clay" by Katherine Dewey, and just dying to try some techniques. I'm also still working hard on making clay bottles! Time time where are you...

On a roll

And here is a latest pic of Addy and me at the Petting Zoo in Beacon hill park.. Can you believe she is 8 months old!

So I have been creating BOH and have been using it as a practice experience. I created a nymph. I thought it was perfect for the weather we're having here in Victoria.

moving forward

Well I haven't written in over a month, and it's been a crazy few weeks. My father passed away, and it's been a difficult time for me. But i am finding healing by creating bottles of hope. My mom, sister and I have been working on creating bottles for cancer survivors for the Relay for Life that will be happening in Nanimo in June. Here is my latest creation.
