a week’s worth – 03-07-09
A Week’s Worth, documents what I did all week – a little peek into the life of a fashion illustrator and blogger.
This week started up north, doing manual labour. On breaks, I turned on the macro setting on my camera as I ate my way through a wild strawberry patch. Is there anything sweeter and tastier than perfect red fruit that grows out of the ground all by itself? No.
I kept gazing at the ground and saw these two pretty plants in my Mom’s garden. This one is called “hens” I think. Below that is a pretty cactus flower.
I went to visit my Oma with some fabric to do some test samples for a special top secret project. This is all I will be able to show of this for a long while.
On Thursday I received my first ever clutch – the charcoal goat skin “Envelope” clutch by Jessica Jensen. Up until now I owned only one bag – a messenger bag – which I wore with everything even though it does not fit with every outfit, especially dresses. Now I have a bag I can wear with dresses, I feel so sophisticated.
Thursday afternoon I got another special surprise – my second boot spotting on my friend and client, singer Coko Galore! The colours fit perfectly with her pop style.
Gosh, I love seeing my Dr. Martens boot design on people – if you have bought a pair, please send pictures! Did you know there are only 36 pairs in Canada? Boot owners get VIP passes to my heart.
How was your week?

Great shot you got there!!!
I like the boots and would like to see more of what you do, maybe become a client one day?!
Coko rocks btw.

What a versatile little purse! It’s funny, I’ve been wanting an essential purse myself, one that will go with everything and make me feel more grown up and put together. Since most of my pretending to be an adult happens during the day, I’m thinking my bag will be a lot bigger than yours.
1. I didn’t know you had an ‘oma’. A bit of dutch somewhere?
2. The envelope clutch is really, really awesome.
3. The plants are called hens and chicks…
