Once in a while you encounter a piece and this phrase pops in your mind:
I wish I have designed that!
I’m loving everything in Feisty Elle’s website design, her branding has caught my eye (not to mention her jewelry! Must resist!). The colorful background in particular is fun and unique!

I’ve been wanting to post something yesterday make that a few days back, but OMG, what a day! Actually I should say, what a week! New client meetings & projects (must be Spring time!) and…. NEW HOUSE!!! Yes, you read right, we bought a house! And the most stressfull part? we don’t have a land nor the house yet. Hum, what?
We bought ourselves a pre-fab, so it’s not built yet… Thursday we went to the upcoming Quartier 10-30 (which, evidently, is on the crossway of highways 10 and 30 in Brossard) There’s tons of shops there, and they’re happens to be a HOUSE-SHOP also! So we went there, and were all giddy cuz we knew we were serious about purchasing.
We went with a 2,200 square foot house, witch is HUGE compared with the apartment we have now. It’s a 2 floors-3 bedrooms- with lot’s of space to put furniture we don’t have yet! What’s really exciting though is that we are moving in the country side, so bye-bye big city, hello fresh air, mountains, woodlands & space to run outside with the kid!
This week we are going to visit a second land and then we’ll have to decide where we want to live. This is exciting and really stressful, I bet we have lot’s of sleepless nights ahead!

Polaroids have something close to magic when taking a shot. If you have ever taken a Polaroid with the vintages cameras, you know the feeling; waiting for the photo to develop itself, then discovering a new halo of colors and blurriness. For me it’s an idyllic form of creation, a foolproof way to take the ordinary and make the world see trough your artist eyes.
So let’s take a moment and gaze forever into the art of Mia Moreno; her photography is like vintage-dreams. Beautiful!

I’m a table person, I love having thing neatly laid out so I can see it all and compare. This Social media guide is perfect for any web2.0 newbie AND it comes with a color guide!
Here are the blogs I discovered this week on my (dare I say?) hours of net surfing (or getting lost, as cheri might say).
On a side note, I don’t watch TV much, but I do watch TV online (go figure!), and I want to say Kudos to Radio-Canada for their www.tou.tv ; I can now watch my TV programs when I want to (which is always when they are NOT airing).
New on my Feed watch:
2- Where the Lovely Things Are
4- Color Me Katie (picture above)
Have a great weekend!

This is so serene, the atmospheric journey this girl is taking will leave you in a dazed state. Lovely animation and style!
So choose yours wisely! Forgot to mention yesterday that Jen from Indie Fixx has graciously invited me over to her blog, you can now discover my Top 10 favorites FREE fonts there (don’t we love free?). And because there are more than 10 in my Little Black design book, here are an extra five you can download (externals links):
3- snickles
4- megalopolis
5- Indubitably
FYI, a good resource to snatch up free fonts is the Font Squirrel website. Also, make sure to read carefully the copyrights when downloading a font, you want to make sure it’s for personal AND commercial use.

Loving the textures in this video. The story is heartwarming too. You’ll see ^_^
…Or in my case, plan to build a house there ^_^ Cheri and myself are doing some land shopping these days, planning to build a house sometime next year if all goes to plan. More on our journey in the upcoming months (hum, I should do a new category for that. What name should it have?).
