Long weekend work

Today is a bank holiday in the UK so it's lovely to be at home! Although I've brought home some work to do (I need to get a lot done before a certain 3-week holiday in early October), I managed to sneak in some fun 'work' over the weekend.

I haven't been able to come up with anything fun for the cover of our welcome booklets for our out of town guests. So I decided to turn to a t-shirt that Lee bought in a random shop in town for inspiration...


I'm quite happy that my non-creative self was able to recreate most of the image. Hopefully the small happy face below the print will reveal to our guests that we're not illiterate idiots and know that the plural of moose is moose! Ha ha. (Although maybe our UK guests will think that Ontario is full of unattractive girls, as the word moose is often used to describe someone who is fat and ugly)


Inside is fairly mundane stuff. But hopefully it will be of some use to our guests. There is a list of potentially useful phone numbers, a schedule of events, directions to the church, reception venue and brunch location, and maps of downtown Oakville and the area around the hotels.




In other non-work related 'work', I finally picked up some frames for my Etsy purchases at the second hand shop down the road. Three frames for 11 pounds - not bad.

I'm quite happy with how my two Edinburgh prints and my little Gocco print of Queen E look. Now I just need to figure out where I'm going to hang them.
