I haven't posted for over a month, but lots has been going on... things are in the works at the moment and I am biding my time for warmth and sunshine to return so I can get all energized and do lots of stuff all at once.
One sure sign that winter's days are numbered is the traditional Nuit Blanche festival, the night where thousands upon thousands of young antsy Montrealers find themselves jammed together inside the Belgo building. My personal favorite event is
Monastiraki's awesome collage party; Billy and Emilie are co-owners and they are super-duper people. They have a new baby but they were willing to stay up 'til midnight so everyone could collage their brains out. Here is my creation:

Pecha Kucha night loosely based on anything textile-related. I showed some pictures of weird macramé jugs, ugly crocheted capes, matching sweater sets and also a photo of a banana cream pie that went over really well.
Here's a picture of me from that event looking kinda crazy.
