Insta-Weekend

Yesterday was crafty-errand day. Did some serious supply shopping (while it was hailing, I must add), discovered my favourite bead store—Chaton Beads—closed forever, then checked out the glorious City of Craft and was so overwhelmed with inspiration that I went home and made way too many necklaces.

Leather and Sewing Supply never fails to get me drooling.

Looking for the perfect strap for a tote bag for my friend.

Some truly amazing artisans at City of Craft! Something to aspire to ;)

The bead obsession in full swing.

New clutches and another necklace DIY coming soon!

Snow (Half) Day!

Yesterday Toronto was hit with a snowmageddon. I had to go to work but was lucky enough to just miss the Transit Terror. However, the office closed anyways and we got to leave after half a day. My friend Jena and I decided that we were going to have some fun. With our regular buses no longer running, we walked to the nearest subway station (about 2.5 km away) but we took the scenic route. It was gorgeous if slightly strenuous at first. We made the most of the situation and finished the workday with a frolic and rock-hard calves.

We finally made it to the bridge!

Slowly leaving the bridge behind...

So happy to finally reach the plowed section.

Home stretch.
