I have been ogling the work of Michael Levin since last summer… The minimalist style he uses in his photographs of water is stunning, timeless, and definitely has a calming effect. The processing of his black and white imagery is superb! Lots of gray tones with rich shadow detail and subtle highlights illustrate his superior exposure control and craftsmanship.

I dream that one day my work will hang next to his.

A few weeks ago I wrote about the pocket-sized floor plans that I found on Apartment Therapy. Over the holidays I had a chance to make some for our home: I’ve started with our living room and dining room. Mine aren’t exactly pocket-size, which is fine for me because I don’t carry a purse. I used 4×6 inch index cards, the blank side has a floor plan including dimensions and colour swatches, and the lined side I’m using for notes about the room, which is so far just window and furniture sizes.

I’m going to keep them in a 4×6 envelope in the glove compartment of my car, that way if I’m out and I see something that might work in our space I have all the information with me to make an informed purchase. I might stick one of those little ikea tape measures in there too.

Last week we spent six wonderfully relaxing days at the cottage: sipping tea, reading books, knitting mittens, and snuggling by the fireplace on those rainy days – glorious! Lots of photography too. (more…)

My recipe collection is out of control! What’s a girl to do? Currently my recipes are in a quite rough looking three ring binder that is bursting at the seams. I’m thinking about downsizing to handwritten (more…)

On this day in 2008 was our last full day in Greece. We got up early so we could bus across Paros to the port and catch a ferry back to the mainland. Don’t worry; we left plenty of time to get our last fix of Greek pastries. You can see at the back right is another chocolate baklava - so yummy. (more…)
