Were you there? If not, I’m sorry – you missed a whole lotta awesome. In addition to Plaskett returning to his rocking roots with the Emergency Band, my mind was blown (as it always is at Hillside) by some new bands.
First up, my fave of the whole weekend was Elephant Revival from Colorado. Holy. [...]
Soooooo, as long as the fires in Northern Ontario remain relatively under control (and what an awful thing for the forests and the firefighters up there – roughly 300, 000 hectares of land are affected right now compared to the 15, 000 hectares affected all year last year), we’re slatedĀ to head off on our [...]
I don’t have any photos of any of the music I saw, but if you want a behind-the-scenes look at the thrilling lives of festival vendors, you’ve come to the right place…
…hold on to your hats because it starts with a mile-a-minute smoke break on a box full of extra merch! This is [...]
All right this is the official sign off since I’m pretty much out of the house until Monday starting in an hour or so.
Except for the tent, chairs, a table and a shelf, this is everything. Wish me luck.
If you find yourself in a movie-watching mood sometime during the rainy weekend, watch [...]
My shelves are bare…
My bags are packed…
Some last-minute cuffs are drying on the table, including a new design I only have time to make one of because it is super labour-intensice. It’s a traditional wallet back design from an old-school kit, but I’m turning it into a bracelet.
I’m sorry [...]
Yesterday I bought the beginnings of the amount of leather I’m going to need for Hillside. This should do a few purses and belts, some guitar straps, endless bracelets and hairbands, and a good little stash of hip holsters and clutches.
We have friends visiting from out of town today, so who knows how much [...]
I’m on pins and needles waiting to find out about a hundred things! I wish I could just curl up in a cave, like a bear outsmarting winter, until all the news arrives.
Instead, today I’m working on a little writing and a lot of fooding. It’s time for more groceries, more bread-baking, more cookie-making, [...]
I just mailed in my application for the Hillside Festival.
I believe the competition is much steeper than for the winter festival, so cross your fingers for me. I should find out in the coming weeks.
If accepted, I start the mother of all leather prep.
I was so into bracelets and necklaces I completely forgot about my new favourite earrings.
Made for Hillside. Meant for brave ladies. These feathers measure four inches in length and sweep your shoulders when you wear them.
Besides remembering these, I’m at a bit of a loss today. I have a long [...]
