V22. the Holiday Season. Furiously

Hello dear Readers,

Coping with Holiday Frenzy

What do you to pamper yourself when the Holiday frenzy starts ?

I went for a long walk to pick up some containers for my external hard drives.  You see I am into organizing and I want to have all my files easily accessible by the time the Holiday season is over.  As luck would have it by the time I was half way back to the metro I felt really tired.  Luckily there was a good restaurant, Nickels right at the corner.  I did the unthinkable.  Instead of getting some nuts and a drink from the grocery store I regaled myself on a French onion soup before I hit the metro.  It tasted so good I didn't even think it was expensive. 

At the holiday season I always get tired in transit so I put away a little extra cash for food. It makes it a lot nicer.

Saturday Studio Work:

Speaking of the Holidays I am doing a lot of celebrating.  This week the Rose Studio is open to Art Fabian Company Patrons and Friends.  It is Gift Atelier Giveaway time.

Actually I had a party Saturday night so Saturday studio work was done of Sunday.

I had been working a ahead of schedule and had the Holiday Gifts all put in nice containers.  After this was done I realised that my guests could not see what the present was inside the box.  So I decided to do some filming of the present next to the box, Then the idea was, that I would put the photograph on the present so that my guests could easily make their choice.

So what to do on Studio work day was a no brainer.  I spent half the time filming the objects and the other half getting them out of the printer.  I don't know how I did it, but by Monday, everything was done. 

Usually I write this blog on Sunday or Monday but because there was a lot of work I am doing it today on Tuesday.  I am happy to report to you that so far my guests seem to be very happy with their presents.

Bieber; Under the Mistletoe

Well the laundry's done. I have two pairs of kicky pajama bottoms waiting to be worn now. We are talking pink leopard and monkeys on a purple background. The dishwasher is out for a couple of days now and we have been eating on paper plates so I am going to look for a nice place to have my lunch today. I have a selection of three restos in mine: French, Brazilian and a coffee with a winning menu.  After that, I am going to go pick up a couple of pastries for tonight and f or Christmas morning. Talking about the French resto, they have some beautiful, decorative pastries. I only hope they are open. Meanwhile, this being the 24th I am going to go back to bed for a bit before I get dressed to search our sustenance.  Meanwhile, why not pick up some Christmas images from Bieber. By the way, what does shawty mean? He says that a lot in the song.

The Before Poster Series

Before posters   The arts in a poor community   When I moved into the downtown sector the plateau Montreal was a very poor community   Although the community was very poor it was densely populated. There were a lot of dry goods establishments mixed with a fair amount of family tolerated prostitution. The police sergeant had taken it upon himself to clean up the area so there were a lot of sponsored artistic establishments Mostly beginning dressmakers. These were young designers that needed a lot of cheap space and fast and they were willing and able to physically fight for their career.  They had many ethnic grocery stores that promoted regional fruits and vegetables  four different kinds of cooking needs. You had Portuguese you had English you had Chinese etc. These culturally diverse grocery stores exist to this very day. You also had a lot of temporary space that could be rented very cheaply for performance. It is from these performances can I tak...

Birthday Itinerary on the LIke-a-thon

And what am I going to do today? I am glad you asked. First thing I am going to have breakfast at the wonderfully designed new restaurant down the street. I dare not tell you the name because I want to have a place. If I told you well then you might be one of the multitude of fans that take the tables instead of me. So, in to the shower and then I am off to the races. (did you join my event) What? Not yet? Well now's the time.
