Isabel at Hipster Musings tagged me to debag myself on the blog, so here it is.
I always carry the same bag - its a soft leather and nylon Fossil messenger bag with all the appropriate shape and pockets to carry everything I need. When I am fully prepared, my bag is full of all the things you see here.
Pencil case, eraser,

Despite all my plans, time went by fast and 2008 is already gaining a lead on me… as usual I have projects for clients, projects for fun, and all that administrative stuff to catch up on. I love what I do but I do not think transitioning from holidays to working is really any easier for the self employed; it takes a certain resolution.
New Years is usually about quitting bad habits but I have to admit that I have developed an utter fascination

Nadia (of the Crafting Adventures) and I are doing a design exchange challenge this month… she will be knitting me a sweater, and I will be cutting and sewing a wool jacket for her.
A chance to rise to the occasion and set the momentum for 2008. Stay tuned for some process and the final reveal. The deadline is tight - before New York Fashion Week on the 1st of February… lets hope we… measure up.

Here is my traffic for the year 2007, click the chart for big. The little spike was the draping demonstration, which had to be the post of the year. While it looks like my traffic has stayed pretty steady, the numbers suggest I have developed a few dozen more regular readers than 2006, a great blessing that makes me feel proud and peculiar. Thanks everyone.

- shoes from Zola

Not too long ago, I got lucky and won a door prize at the F-List Project Runway Canada Finale party - A $150 gift certificate from Zola Shoes. I went there today and picked up these lovely leather pumps. Predictably I chose matte black, round toes and low heels - I am a raven not a magpie. My first (and only) set of quality pumps - I look forward

Such a great year. Lots of ups and downs. I tried a lot of new things and made my fair share of mistakes, and learned more than I can express in a post.
This year I became a fashion illustrator.  At the beginning of the year I had no idea what I was supposed to be. Setbacks in other ventures and a lack of confidence held me back. Finally in July, I recognized it and consciously chose it, embracing the uncertainty, interesting things started to happen. I finally feel like I am on the Earth living a life I love.

- a christmas fashion illustration

My friend Christy suggested that I should do a Christmas themed illustration. Lately I have been trying out brushes, ink, watercolours and watercolour pencils, with more or less success. I thought this attempt turned out pretty nice.
I wish all of you a Super Solstice, a Merry Christmas, and

- on judging fashion design
-
I have an abiding curiousity on how good design gets defined. We all think we know it when we see it, but really, what is a good fashion design and who has the authority to decide?
Having watched far too many seasons of Project Runway lately, I find the plight of the judges an interesting one, not to mention the online judging of the judging. Things can get heated and seem a little ridiculous. Both the Biddell-boosters and the Lucian-lovers

- couchsurfing PRC - the final episode

It is the end of an era! My final couchsurfing post. I must say, taking the opportunity to watch Project Runway Canada with so many friends made this television show experience very special. Thank you so much to Susie Love, Anita Clarke, Adrienne Butikofer, Tiffanie Ing, and Janet Hill for sharing spaces on their couches with me all season! You are the best!

I just checked out the P&G Beauty Public Relations seminar at the Toronto Fashion Incubator and posted about it on blogTO. There are so many opportunities to meet people and learn at the TFI, if you are in Toronto and into fashion, membership is recommended and participation is encouraged. Perhaps I will meet you at the

My little tribute posts to the great fashion illustrators who influence and inspire me never seem to get a great response, and yet I keep posting them. The very least I can do as a burgeoning illustrator is to recognize and celebrate the greats who came before me, and leave a mark on the internet for all those who might seek to learn a little more about these imagemakers who might otherwise remain obscure.

- couchsurfing PRC - episodes 9 and 10

My couchsurfing days are over… unless another season comes along I suppose. I watched Episode 9 with Susie and Episode 10 with Anita. Next Monday the F-List are hosting a Finale Party and there will be fashion bloggers there. I am psyched. Who else is coming?
The last of my spoiler posts is after the tease.
