I recently joined Kollabora… it has been on my “to do” list forever, but I am so glad I finally got around to it! It is an amazing, inspiring site. I’ve spent so much time already browsing through people’s makes and getting ideas for my own wardrobe… If you are a maker, you should definitely be on Kollabora. It’s an amazing combination of the best of Pinterest and Etsy, combined in to one beautifully designed site.

I am also now selling my patterns on Kollabora and have been featured on their blog! It was a fun interview, and I got to talk a bit about what inspires me, advice for other designers, and what’s in store for the future! You can read my feature here.
Today is the last day of a long weekend here. It’s been one of the nicest long weekends I’ve had in a while. Dan was off all weekend so we got to do lots of family things. We went for a short hike in Scouts Valley, went to a carnival on the waterfront and ate chip-truck poutine (which is the best poutine), and today went to the Zoo! Isabel LOVED the zoo. Her favourite animals were the giraffes and baby goats (the baby goat nibbled her fingers). I also started a new workout routine that has left me feeling old, sore, and terribly out of shape (stairs are the enemy right now). I had intended on sneaking in some work this afternoon, but I’m too tired.

I’m enjoying Isabel even more as she grows. She’s cruising around furniture right now, able to pull her self up and down. She crawls so fast and is hard to keep up with! She’s already starting to want to do everything by herself, especially when it comes to feeding, so she’s mostly eating soft finger foods right now. It’s great, in a way… she mostly feeds herself, but also ends up feeding Oliver an awful lot of what she’s supposed to be eating. I’m having a hard time thinking of foods that are soft and easy to eat, and that she can eat with her hands. So, if anyone has any suggestions, please feel free to leave me a comment!
