Paris

Bonjour, bonjour mes petits!

Je suis revenu du beau Paris ce matin et c’était fantastique!

We were very tourist-y, saw La Tour Eiffel, Notre Dame (but no Quasimodo), L'arc de Triomphe, Montmartre and Amélie's cafe - I need to see my french teachers and tell them about it! 

We were also student-y and went to The Louvre, The Museum of Decorative Arts and Indigo trade show where our college was selling work and *drumroll* one of my pieces sold! (this one...)

C'est incroyable! Je ne pourrais pas croire mes oreilles!

(Croissants for everyone who didn't have to use a translation website for my french)

Paris prelude...

Ok, I've decided Feb is even more awesome than I thought - Just found out today that 2 of my embroideries are going to the Indigo Trade Show in Paris!

These are the 2 they chose to take which suprised me a little - if I'd had to pick any I'd have chosen my silk leaf prints but now I get to keep them for myself :)

So je suis très excited for Paris now - it's only a few days away, wooh! :) Got to start practicing ma français 

Feb

I know it's only the 5th but I've decided I like February.

Partly because we get to start our new project which sounds fab and cos I got to look for sketchbooks and see all the really nice paper (but then I was sad cos I couldn't afford it) and partly cos I get to see my dance show, and actually be in it a little bit! Partly (a big part) cos I get to go to Paris for Indigo and partly cos it snowed yesterday and it even made Halifax look pretty...

The only way I could be more excited about this month was if my toes didn't want to fall off whenever I went outside :)
