My Consciousness…

Computer woes, yet ANOTHER plague thanks to Nursery School children & a darling little boy who is upping the anti on the bedtime guilt trips are cramping my blog style today. Also, we ate the last of the Toblerone last night so I'm in Chocolate Mourning. As a rule, I don't really like chocolate. ::GASP:: did I really just say that out loud you are wondering? Yup. Prefer caramel and vanilla but I make an exception for Toblerones or the PC - President's Choice brand version of them (just as yummy).

We had a great meeting today on our new restaurant project. Serious decisions made. Hermes Orange is totally involved which we are going to use in a decidedly classic way. Can't wait to share. 

Also stressing me out right now - Valentine's Day. I loathe Valentine's Day (see above re: not being a huge chocolate fan). I think it is trite, commercialized and over done. I think I've mentioned this once or twice before. I got the dreaded list today from Luke's teacher - the "Totally Up To You" Class list for those who are inclined to make/buy Valentine's Cards for the class. I forgot all about it last year and then discovered the list had been sent in Luke's bag about a week after Valentine's Day. #BadMommyMoment I felt bad when Luke had come home with all of these cards, even worse when I discovered there was a list. So now, racked with left over guilt, I'm determined to ease my conscience... we made these tonight.

 

Talented non?

After posting this on Twitter, Luke got his first Art Commission. When I told him that Brandon whom he met in NYC last fall wanted a Luke original using orange - Luke said "Okay, Brandon is nice Momma."

Working on sketches for our new Ottawa project. This is going to be a dramatic before and after lemme tell ya.

This picture is giving me lots of ideas for #BeccstoneCres...  Image

This Hermes picture is totally inspiring our restaurant project... leather, bleached oak, brass, tufting... intrigued?
