I'm confused...

Am I the only one that thinks Weight Watchers offering a lifetime membership is just bad advertising? If it works, why would you need to be a lifetime member? Just wondering...

The lovely Marnie

It occurs to me that I have been horribly remiss in never featuring the website and work of my very favourite local photographer, Marnie Burkhart. Marnie is the best. And I love her to death! Here's her site.

Great blog

OK, so I've recently taken up quilting. Sewing straight lines and not having to fit something to a human body is strangely liberating. Eventually, I want to give up the straight lines and do something far more organic, but in the meantime, I'm exploring how the choice of fabric can actually make a quilt look more comtemporary. (Someone please shoot me if I ever show up in a quilted vest or jacket...)

Here's one of my favourite quilting blogs - yes, there are such things. Hello My Name is Heather belongs to Heather Bailey, a fabric designer and artist. The site has wonderful photography by her husband, a professional photographer. And click on the link to her line of fabrics for Freespirit fabrics. Absolutely beautiful. Now, if I could just find a local distributer. I was in Cochrane yesterday because the store there, Addies, is supposed to carry it. It was closed, of course. Started a trend for the day... :)

100 years of photos...

...in a blog. Shorpy is a blog covering 100 years of photography. Some very cool stuff. Take the time to explore.

Helvetica - the film

An entire film about a font? You bet, when it's that old staple, Helvetica. See it here, or go to the viewing at the Uptown on May 8.

Get a MAC...

Here are the latest MAC TV commercials in case you haven't seen them yet. My favourites are still some of the older ones: Viruses, Counsellor, Self Pity, Security, etc. You can get to them by clicking on the "See all the ads' link at the bottom of the page.

Of course, if you're on a PC running Vista, be prepared to have to allow all those pesky security warnings...
