Click here to see this week’s Small Fancy.

This week at The Small Fancy we were inspired by the Burning House to make our own piles of things we would rescue from our houses were on fire. Once I knew that all the humans and the cat were all safe I would go back for:

• some favourite comics
• photo of me and my sister
• photo of my mother in law
• tiny paintings of my girls
• favourite pair of scissors given to me by my mother in law
• wedding photo
• daughter’s teeth
• doll Mia gave to me as a wedding present
• hard drive with all my photos on it
• bedspread made by my mother in law

This week at the Small Fancy the theme is “What always surprises me about Vancouver/Charlottetown”. Paul already pointed out to me an error in mine… there are women who sweep too. It’s true, I’ve see  her, but I forgot about her while doing this last night.

Also in last week’s SF I mentioned that you can’t get agave here, but someone emailed me and said we actually can. I’ve since seen it everywhere from Winners to Bulk Barn. Yay!

Here’s a little peek at the back of a fabric piece I’m working on for the upcoming “this town is small” collaborative  island poems show. I find myself photographing the backs of fabric pieces just as much as the fronts.

Want to see what’s in my purse?

I just finished this portrait for Tamara’s littlest. I love the name Poppy, Ila was almost a Poppy.

This week’s theme at Small Fancy is “City Life/Town Life…the Good”.  This time of year I always start wondering why in the world we live here , it was nice to think about some of the good things.

This week’s theme at Small Fancy is “something I’m looking forward to“….

We took a little extra long holiday over at Small Fancy, but this week we’re back! The theme is “Reasons against/for getting a dog”…

Oh yeah, we’re getting a puppy! We don’t get her until the middle of Februrary though, not sure how we’re going to wait that long.

Childhood Christmas memories over at the Small Fancy this week.

Looks like lots of happy childhood Christmas memories are being made over at Meg’s from Elsie Marley. This week she posted a Christmas craft tutorial each day. I also love her advent colouring book. That woman is so full of amazing ideas!

This week at the Small Fancy we both took a picture “from the hip”. I had a hard time choosing… this is the that one didn’t make it.

Hey, at least it’s not in her mouth…

At Small Fancy this week we did a simutaneous photo. Looks like Mia was standing beside Elvis Costello at 11:30.

Just saw that Heidi from My Paper Crane‘s book is now available. Looks like lots of fun.

Happy weekend!
