Hiya sistahs! It’s been a crazy month let me tell you and I am so sorry I have been MIA.. I have been kinda MUSELESS…weird AY? I usually have so much to say!! well I have been away for too long and now have LOTS to say..LOL
First, I was watching Oprah last night and I have been waiting for that episode all week. It was the SOUND OF MUSIC 45 YEAR REUNION. I think I cried the whole way through for no reason at all. I just look at Julie Andrews and I get the warmest bestest feeling evah. I think I must say that this movie is my favorite movie of all time. I know every song and I sing it to my kids every day AD NAUSEUM… I’ll never forget a few years ago the Sound of Music SINGALONG came to Toronto and I FORCED Ryan and a couple of friends to go. Basically the movie was on the big screen and had the words on the screen as the songs came so you can sing along. There were also INSTRUCTIONS in the beginning of the movie.. for example, every time you saw the mountains, you had to raise your hands over your head in a V.. like Julie Andrews did… it was HILARIOUS. The whole audience participated and you saw when people forgot to raise their hands so in the middle of a song you would see a pair of hands go in the air.. what memories huh?
Ok so I would love to know what your MOST FAVORITEST Sound of Music song is and what your LEAST favoritest song is…just leave it in the comments .. I think this would be fun!
Ok so here’s one of my favorites (yes I have many but I made myself pick one)- THE LONELY GOATHERDER
and I think my LEAST favorite song is CLIMB EVERY MOUNTAIN
yes I am very well versed in the Sound of Music.. I also learned that the GORGEOUS Christopher Plummer (originally from MY hometown Montreal) was 34 in the film and Julie Andrews was 28… I though they were SOOOO Much older than I was..LOL.. Even watching parts yesterday I thought the same thing.. I think it’s time a take a real looky in da MIRRAH..LOL
Ok enough blabla.. see what happens when I am away for a few days? I give you a WEEK’s worth of nonsense in one post!

didjamiss me? OMG sistahs, it has been the CRAZIEST month EVAH. I actually had to take a day off yesterday to just put myself back together. I was fighting a cold since last week and just couldn’t afford it to come out..LOL and yesterday I felt like I had full blown MALARIA..LOL.
But I am BACK. for GOOD. NO SHOWS for a little while. I BE HAPPY! The Creativ festival was really amazing.. met lotsa new peeps, lotsa familiar peeps.. it was great. Isabelle demo’d VIVA DECOR which was amazing.. I demo’d colouring which also worked out really well.. we shared a table.. it was scary..LOL. Just kiddinK.. we had a PHENOM TIME! I will be replenishing the shop with lots of goodies so please come back by the end of week and you will see the teeny tiny weeny winy jars of inka gold which are the cutest things EVAH!!!
I need to share some SHOW LOVE…
I got to take a little break and sat down with a master embroiderer, Katrina Witten from ROWAN DEAN EMBROIDERY and her darling sweet adorable hubby, as I am DYING to learn different stitches and I must say, I am learning and enjoying every minute! I will show you a picture of the make and take I did.. it is DEELISH! I was having SUCH a hard time with the french know but I DIDDDDDDDDIT!!!
Another one of my most fave booFs at the show was MAD ABOUT PATCHWORK.. their fabrics were AMAZING and of course I bought some.. now DON’T ask me if my sewing machine is outta da box.. and DON”T ask me what I will do with the fabric. I am gonna stare at it for a while and get inspired 🙂
That’s about it for a recap.
