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