I just wanted to thank you for the encouragement during my job search, the compliments on my creations, the positive words after Brian's surgery and the congratulations concerning the magazine interview and all my little projects.

Blogging is a strange thing. Even after a few years, I still don't get it. I generally don't know your last name, your exact age, where you live and what your job is. We would be at the same bus stop and we might not even smile at each other because we don't really know what we look like. However, I feel comfortable telling you my fears and my insecurities.

When I'm without a job, I have a tendency to isolate myself from my "non-blog friends". I don't want them to see me like that...the I-still-didn't-get-hired-after-3-months but I get more active with my blog life: I write more posts, I read more blogs and I comment more.

I just wanted to let you know, dear readers, that even if I now have a job I will stick with you because you make my life richer, you make me smile, you make me believe in me like I never did before.

So thank you so much, you all rock!

The past few days were a little too rich in emotions for me. First of all, I'm happy to tell you that I got a 5 weeks contract to create an event, in a community center, during world health day (April 7th). That should be fun!

After, things got a little out of control. Brian, my dog, got sick and stopped eating. If you have a dog, you know that a pet with no appetite is a pet that is not well. We went to our vet and he sent us to the animal hospital. So, after 5 minutes at the ER and one ultrasound later, they told us that Brian had an object stuck in his intestine and that without an emergency surgery he would die!

Then, they looked at us and they know that we know what this means because they know that we love our dog but that we see our trip to Berlin and my expensive wallpaper and my new spring wardrobe falling apart! And then I opened my mouth : how much? Not that it matters because we will pay. Because Brian is our little baby...a money pit baby but still our baby! So Brian is back home (it is not a pretty picture) after 48 hours, drugged with morphine and without the piece of rubber toy that he ate at the dog park.


But things are not that bad...drum roll....Sew magazine wrote an article about me and my little blog (to read the article) in their March issue. How cool is that??? Sew magazine is not available in Montreal so the charming Nikki (editorial assistant) sent me a copy by the mail. I was so happy but the greatest thing about the article is the mini "tribute" to my sewing teacher. It was such a surprise for him! However, I have mix feeling about the poster size color photocopy that he made. Now, when I go to sewing class, I see my face on the wall!!!

And for your information, just for fun, the vet bill was 2470.30$!!!
Have a lovely weekend xoxo
