Off to the Market to buy some bread and some Manchego cheese - this is all I want to eat all week.

Recipe over at Brooklyn Farmhouse.
Yum.

Emeline and Annabelle Couture Café

Emeline and Annabelle's is a new sewing café/lounge in town where you can sip coffee while finishing your projects (with or without help). They also sell beautiful quilting cottons, and offer sewing workshops.

Little sister Isa and I will attending 'Sew Basics' in June (I got lucky and won a free workshop for 2)! Montreal's West Side desperately needed a craft lounge like this (in addition to Mouliné Yarns, Ariadne Knits and Effiloché, who all rock). Purl Soho eat your heart out!

Their Flickr account has great photos.

Exit Through the Gift Shop

Opens May 7th in MTL.

Bushed. No Typo.

I am so sore from painting our kitchen, cleaning our lovely Korean neighbour's bathroom last night because I let my tub overflow, restraining an incredibly neurotic dog who freaked out at the vet's this morning, and packing boxes and yet more boxes... I feel broken! So tired I can't even write a haiku about it - now that's tired. Pew. I mean that - Pew, not Phew. Not a typo.

Anyhow, overtaxed and watching Extract, which is weirdly neither good nor bad... Or maybe I'm just bushed ;-)

Coming Soon: New Beginnings

Kitsune

In the last couple of years, it seems that the red fox (or kitsune in japanese) has elected to be a guide for me, as I've spotted one each and every time I've felt scared or anxious - and in the most unusual places to boot. If anybody out there knows of a book of legends or a nice photography book on red foxes, let me know because I can't seem to find anything.

Happy Woman's Day (& Oscar Night Recap)

As a gift, here's a nugget of wisdom, from me to you:

If you're a lady-director pining for an Oscar Award, here's what you do: make a testosterone-ridden film about war, conflict, violence, and bombs! Yay War!

Greatest Monday Morning EVER.

Cheburashka

Watching the Olympics has made me fall in love all over again with Cheburashka, the whimsical Russian forest creature, also know as team Russia's mascot and good-luck charm.

Smørrebrød

Well, I think we'll have to move Denmark up a couple of notches on our Travel WishList. Last night, I had an overwhelming craving for a breaded fish/open faced sandwich (I know! WTF?!). And so this morning - in a completely unrelated moment of yearning - I wikipediaed Copenhagen just... because. And what do I learn? That the national dish is a breaded fish/open faced sandwich! This is no coincidence.

Élégie en rouge

Red Colored Elegy is finally being released en français by les Éditions Cornélius, who make the most beautiful books. No date set for a Canadian release yet, and no one is anwsering my emails at Renaud-Bray (nice going RB). Will I have to wait until our next trip to Paris in 2011?
