2013 Bright and happy!

Fresh start. What more to wish for.

This year I will work harder, eat better, save more money, make at least three new canes this year, I will never get behind on book keeping EVER again, I will clean the Garage and the Basement/redo the cold shop down there, finish up the kitchen and  upholster the couch and the chairs....and the list just keeps going. How exiting!

Happy New Year!

First snow experience...

 ...always very exiting

Happy Holidays

Viva La Frida!

Fairly spectacular exhibit I went and saw at the AGO last weekend - Frida&Diego: Passion Politics and Painting.
 Runs until January 20th.

Nicely organized, with plenty of photographs to showcase both of their lives. Please go see it for yourself.
 It is fantastic!

Also there is pretty sweet "gift shop" presented after the exhibit, with all the Mexican nick knacks imaginable. I did acquire couple of pieces myself.
Off to make fajitas for dinner now.

And so it starts...

All the galleries are freshly stocked, taken care of, all custom orders are finished.  Now I can start The baking  marathon. All the favorites are on the menu.
