« with every good wish | Main | big on bloor »

almost ready!

All the pictures you will see from my studio right now are messes, messes, and more messes! I'm almost ready for Big on Bloor tomorrow, which is a street festival that runs from Christie to Lansdowne (on Bloor of course). It is a BIG festival, and I am excited to be a part of it (it is my first show ever). Unfortunately, there is rain planned for the entire day. I am sort of in denial, because it was so beautiful today, and will be beautiful again every day next week, but Jory said the likelihood of error from Environment Canada is slim to none. Darn. My main problem is that all of my stuff is made out of paper...

So if you're in Toronto and you want to brave the rain, stop by! I'll be at table E30, and I'm there with friends Petra, John, and Carmen at tables E31 and E32. It should be fun regardless of rain, right?
