my fountain pen awaits

i'm working on my third box of Christmas cards.
i Love Christmas cards.

but why is it such
a challenge to purchase
cards that don't require
a special marker to write inside without
the ink pooling up ? or smearing.
or just not showing up at all.
argh.

and i probably don't
even need to mention that this is the case
for the envelopes, too.
My Fountain pen is all set and ready for lots of
signing -
however, it's my fume-inducing
Sharpie marker
that's bearing the brunt of the work today.

The poodleyboy and i are going out for
a little stroll now.
My head needs a little time out
from the Sharpie marker.

more monday update....

it's snowing!
montreal awoke this morning to find the world
draped in a fine layer of fresh, clean snow.

hello, angel




good morning.
it's about time
to get out some decorations for the house.

The little knitted hats

From the House of Grand Marnier.
Really, i'm not making this up.

it's delicious and lovely. You should
really try it. Oh, and yes, it makes
a terrific hat model if you're making
teeny, tiny hats.
