So today&#8217;s inspiration revolves around children and games.</p>
<p>While I was on my second maternity leave, there was someone who really inspired me to craft toys and games: Joel Henriques from <a href="http://madebyjoel.com/" target="_blank">Made by Joel</a>. I really admire him as he&#8217;s an incredibly talented artist and designer.</p>
<p>This is one of the project we did last year, <a href="http://madebyjoel.com/2010/07/zip-line-toy.html" target="_blank">the Zip Line Toy</a>, that A enjoyed very much. We tweaked Joel&#8217;s original idea as A was all about pirates. Though it seems pretty simple, this game of &#8220;flying&#8221; pirates to their castle kept him busy for a week! Talk about a good ROI eh?  ;)</p>
<p>Go visit Joel&#8217;s website, simple project for everyone :) And below, more inspiration from an Etsy treasury list.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<p>Aujourd&#8217;hui est un jour férié en Ontario&#8211; Le jour de la famille! L&#8217;inspiration du jour est donc, logiquement et forcément (héhé) autour des enfants et des jeux.</p>
<p>Pendant mon second congé de maternité, j&#8217;ai découvert une personne qui m&#8217;a vraiment inspiré à bricoler avec et pour mes enfants: Joel Henriques de <a href="http://madebyjoel.com/" target="_blank">Made by Joel</a>. Il a toute mon admiration et je trouve que c&#8217;est un artiste et designer de grand talent.</p>
<p>Voici un des projets que nous avons réalisé, le &#8220;<a href="http://madebyjoel.com/2010/07/zip-line-toy.html" target="_blank">Zip Line Toy</a>&#8220;, qui a bien amusé A. On a adapaté la version originale de Joel parce que A était dans sa phase pirates. Et même si l&#8217;idée semble super simple, ce petit jeu de faire &#8220;voler&#8221; les pirates à leur château l&#8217;a gardé occupé pendant une semaine! Parlez-moi d&#8217;un bon investissement hein? ;)</p>
<p>Allez visiter le site de Joel. Il contient plusieurs projets simples que tout le monde peut réaliser. Et ici-bas, quelques idées à partir d&#8217;une &#8220;Etsy treasury list&#8221;</p>

<p>Today’s behind the scene: preparing little Valentine’s goodies for A’s classmates.  Although I know, I know, I should be working on my new designs and preparing the improvised upcoming family getaway to <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Victoria,+BC,+Canada&amp;hl=en&amp;ll=48.429144,-123.365221&amp;spn=0.023408,0.066047&amp;sll=37.0625,-95.677068&amp;sspn=56.462693,135.263672&amp;oq=victoria&amp;hnear=Victoria,+Capital+Regional+District,+British+Columbia,+Canada&amp;t=m&amp;z=15" target="_blank">Victoria, B.C</a>., I couldn’t resist making a little something.<br />
Influenced by an image I saw on <a href="http://blogs.babble.com/the-new-home-ec/2012/01/18/25-valentines-day-gifts-to-sew-for-your-little-guy/" target="_blank">Babble.com: 25 Valentine’s Day Gifts to Sew For Your Little Guy</a> (the red felt heart), I came up with a twist that would use my tools, expertise and that A could participate<a href="http://melaniesaucier.com/2012/02/06/love-power-in-five-minutes/" target="_blank"> in a way</a> (his signed drawing was printed on one side of the heart; he chose every pencil color; and he&#8217;ve put in the chocolates).<br />
Although it was fun, you might want to plan an hour or so for this craft, depending on how many you’ll be making.</p>
<p><a href="http://melaniesaucier.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/MG_1211.jpg"><img class="alignnone  wp-image-2195" title="_MG_1211" src="http://melaniesaucier.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/MG_1211-1024x938.jpg" alt="" width="448" height="410" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Supplies you will need:</strong><br />
Inkjet printer<br />
Iron-On transfer paper for light fabric (available at stores like Staples, DeSerres, Michael&#8217;s, Joann and any craft store)<br />
Iron<br />
Sewing machine<br />
Fabric<br />
Scissors<br />
Thread for sewing<br />
Thread or ribbon to wrap the heart to the crayon<br />
Drawing (if you don’t have time or the software to create your own, scroll down. I have made a design available for download)</p>
<p><strong>Steps:</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Print the drawings on the transfer paper from your inkjet printer (follow the manufacturer&#8217;s instructions). Note that the image is mirrored. It&#8217;s ok, you need it this way.<br />
<a href="http://melaniesaucier.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/MG_1092.jpg"><img class="alignnone  wp-image-2194" title="_MG_1092" src="http://melaniesaucier.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/MG_1092-682x1024.jpg" alt="" width="384" height="576" /></a></li>
<li>Iron the paper on your fabric of choice (I have chosen a lightweight fabric. Easier to manipulate and because it is somewhat translucent, it facilitates matching the front and back of the drawings together).<br />
<a href="http://melaniesaucier.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/MG_1155.jpg"><img class="alignnone  wp-image-2193" title="_MG_1155" src="http://melaniesaucier.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/MG_1155-1024x682.jpg" alt="" width="384" height="256" /></a></li>
<li>Fix with a needle, back of images facing each other, and cut with an approximate 1/8” allowance for aesthetics and/or sewing.<br />
<a href="http://melaniesaucier.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/MG_1179.jpg"><img title="_MG_1179" src="http://melaniesaucier.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/MG_1179-1024x998.jpg" alt="" width="384" height="374" /></a></li>
<li>Sew without closing the shape altogether. Keep an opening large enough to slide in a pencil, or to fill with candies.<br />

I have put in chocolates, but honestly, don’t choose these…they are a tad big for this. Small cinnamon hearts would work.<br />

<li>Finish with a ribbon or a decorative embroidery-type thread.<br />

<p>After they have eaten the chocolate, they’ll reuse the decorative heart to practice their writing/drawing :)</p>

<p>French Version –&gt;</p>
<p>Aujourd’hui, le “derrière la camera”: la préparation des petits cadeaux de St-Valentin pour les amis de classe de A. Je sais, je sais&#8230; je devrais plutôt travailler sur mes nouveaux designs ou préparer notre petit voyage impromptu à Victoria, C.B. (!), mais je ne pouvais résister à la tentation de fabriquer un petit quelquechose.<br />
Influencée par les images vues sur <a href="http://blogs.babble.com/the-new-home-ec/2012/01/18/25-valentines-day-gifts-to-sew-for-your-little-guy/" target="_blank">Babble.com: 25 Valentine’s Day Gifts to Sew For Your Little Guy</a>—(le coeur en feutre rouge), une idée m’est venue de faire ma version où je pourrais utiliser mes outils, mon expertise et où A pourrait participer <span style="text-decoration: underline;">à son rythme</span> (on s&#8217;est servi de son dessin signé pour un côté du coeur; il a choisi les couleurs des crayons en fonction de ses amis; et il a placé les chocolats dans les cœurs).<br />
Malgré que j’ai eu du plaisir à realise ce projet, je tiens à vous préciser qu’il faut prévoir une bonne heure et peut-être plus dépendant de la quantité que vous voulez produire.</p>
<p><strong>Matériel requis :</strong></p>
<p>Imprimante à jet d’encre<br />
Papier transfert (disponible chez Bureau en gros et Omer de Serres)<br />
Fer à repasser<br />
Tissu<br />
Machine à coudre<br />
Ciseaux<br />
Fil à couture<br />
Fil ou ruban pour enrubanner le crayon au coeur<br />
Dessin à imprimer (si vous ne pouvez en créer, descendez la page. Vous pourrez télécharger le mien)</p>
<p><strong>Étapes:<br />
</strong></p>
<ol start="1">
<li>Imprimez les images sur le papier transfert (suivre les directions du fabricant) en utilisant votre imprimante à jet d’encre. Notez que les images sont déjà inversées (miroir), c’est normal.<br />
<a href="http://melaniesaucier.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/MG_1092.jpg"><img title="_MG_1092" src="http://melaniesaucier.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/MG_1092-682x1024.jpg" alt="" width="384" height="576" /></a></li>
<li>Repasser l’image sur le tissu. J’ai choisi un tissu léger. Plus facile à manipuler et plus facile d’aligner les images une sur l’autre.<br />
<a href="http://melaniesaucier.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/MG_1155.jpg"><img title="_MG_1155" src="http://melaniesaucier.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/MG_1155-1024x682.jpg" alt="" width="384" height="256" /></a></li>
<li>Fixer les images avec une épingle. Les dos des images se font face. Allouer environ 1/8 » autour du cœur. Pour l’esthétisme et/ou pour votre ligne de couture.<br />
<a href="http://melaniesaucier.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/MG_1179.jpg"><img title="_MG_1179" src="http://melaniesaucier.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/MG_1179-1024x998.jpg" alt="" width="384" height="374" /></a></li>
<li>Faire votre couture sans fermer le Coeur complètement. Conservez une ouverture afin de pouvoir y glisser le crayon, ou pour remplir de bonbons.<br />
<a href="http://melaniesaucier.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/MG_1194.jpg"><img title="_MG_1194" src="http://melaniesaucier.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/MG_1194-1024x743.jpg" alt="" width="384" height="278" /></a>J’avais des chocolats, qui comme vous pouvez le voir, étaient un peu trop gros. Je ne les recommande pas. Des petits cœurs à la cannelle ou autre plus petit format serait plus approprié.<br />

<li>Terminez avec le ruban ou le fil décoratif<br />
<a href="http://melaniesaucier.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/MG_1198.jpg"><img title="_MG_1198" src="http://melaniesaucier.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/MG_1198-1024x776.jpg" alt="" width="384" height="291" /></a></li>

<p>Inspired by Valentine’s Day colors, I’ve tried to involve my two little Monkeys in a little Valentine’s Day craft. Let me tell you, every craft project I plan must be quick. That may change (or not) as my boys get older, but I am at the point where preparing the supplies and cleaning the mess accounts for twice the time, if not more, than that of doing the craft itself. So, when I say quick, I mean my older son needs to see a result in fewer than five minutes, and it should not involve his cutting or gluing too much. So that kind of limits the choices, eh! My other son? Well, he’s 22 months old. He has good team spirit though. He helps a lot in the “making a mess” process. ;)</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span><a href="http://melaniesaucier.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/St-Valentin-Color-Palette.jpg"><img class="alignnone  wp-image-2162" style="border-style: initial; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-width: 0px;" title="St-Valentin Color Palette" src="http://melaniesaucier.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/St-Valentin-Color-Palette.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="100" border="0" /></a></span></span></p>
<p>Following this color palette, I was also inspired to create my first <a href="http://www.etsy.com/treasury/OTE1OTM1NHwyMDcxNTMwODcx/valentines-day-gifts-and-supplies-in-red?ref=pr_treasury" target="_blank">Etsy’s Treasury List</a>: Valentine’s Day gifts and supplies in Red, Orange, Salmon and Gray. In case you need inspiration for Valentine&#8217;s Day!</p>
<p><a href="http://melaniesaucier.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/TreasuryList-valentin.jpg"><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span><img class="alignnone  wp-image-2165" style="border-style: initial; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-width: 0px;" title="TreasuryList-valentin" src="http://melaniesaucier.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/TreasuryList-valentin.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="575" border="0" /></span></span></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>So! To be completely positive about it, I told my boys, ”Come on guys; let’s make <em>Love Power</em> wristbands!” And it turned out pretty well—we even made a 3D heart necklace and a headband. I think their favorite part though was the wrestling and game of tag at the end. That’s boys’ definition of <em>Love Power :)</em></p>
<p><a href="http://melaniesaucier.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Valentin_1.jpg"><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2167" style="border-style: initial; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-width: 0px;" title="Valentin_1" src="http://melaniesaucier.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Valentin_1.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="733" border="0" /></span></span></a></p>
<p>If you are interested in the (oh-so-not-complex) how-to of making the wristband, just follow the instructions below:</p>
<ol>
<li>Supplies: hole punch, scissors, ribbon or thread, foam sheets and old drawings<br />
<a href="http://melaniesaucier.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/MG_1148.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2176" title="_MG_1148" src="http://melaniesaucier.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/MG_1148-300x256.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="256" /><br />
</a></li>
<li>Draw, cut, punch holes and decorate (you can go wild here and add glitter!)<br />
<a href="http://melaniesaucier.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/MG_1158.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2177" title="_MG_1158" src="http://melaniesaucier.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/MG_1158-300x216.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="216" /></a></li>
<li>The multiple holes create an adjustable wristband<br />
<a href="http://melaniesaucier.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/MG_1167.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2180" title="_MG_1167" src="http://melaniesaucier.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/MG_1167-300x229.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="229" /></a></li>
<li>And voilà&#8211; five minutes later!<br />
<a href="http://melaniesaucier.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/MG_1163.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2179" title="_MG_1163" src="http://melaniesaucier.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/MG_1163-300x273.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="273" /></a><a href="http://melaniesaucier.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/MG_1161.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2178" title="_MG_1161" src="http://melaniesaucier.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/MG_1161-267x300.jpg" alt="" width="267" height="300" /></a></li>
</ol>
<p>French version &#8211;&gt;</p>
<p>Inspirée par les couleurs de la St-Valentin, j&#8217;ai imaginé un petit projet de bricolage de St-Valentin pour mes deux petits monstres. Laissez-moi seulement vous dire, lorsque je pense bricolage avec les gars, je dois prévoir des projets rapides et faciles. Peut-être qu&#8217;en vieillissant mes garçons seront plus patients (peut-être que non) mais pour le moment, la préparation du matériel et le nettoyage à la fin du bricolage prend deux fois plus de temps, sinon plus, que le bricolage en soi.  Mon plus vieux veut voir un résultat en cinq minutes sinon il décroche et va faire autre chose et surtout ça ne doit pas impliquer trop de découpage et surtout pas de collage (car il faut souvent attendre que ça sèche!). Alors ça limite un peu les possibilités hein? Et mon plus jeune? Il n&#8217;a que 22 mois mais il a un bon esprit d&#8217;équipe. Surtout pour la portion &#8220;bordel&#8221;. ;)</p>
<p>Suivant cette palette de couleur, j&#8217;ai été inspirée à créer ma première &#8220;<a href="http://www.etsy.com/treasury/OTE1OTM1NHwyMDcxNTMwODcx/valentines-day-gifts-and-supplies-in-red?ref=pr_treasury" target="_blank">Etsy’s Treasury List</a>: Valentine’s Day gifts and supplies in Red, Orange, Salmon and Gray&#8221;. Au cas où vous cherchez de l&#8217;inspiration ou des petits cadeaux (mais faut faire vite) pour la St-Valentin!</p>
<p>Enfin! Pour motiver mes garçons, je leur ai dit: &#8220;Allez les gars, on va faire des &#8220;Love Power&#8221; bracelets!&#8221;. Et puis finalement, ça a bien tourné&#8211;on a même fabriqué des bandeaux et un collier avec un coeur 3D. Je crois par contre que leur meilleur moment fut <em>après</em> le bricolage: jouer à la <em>tag</em> et faire de la lutte&#8230;Ça, c&#8217;est leur définition du &#8220;Love Power&#8221; :)</p>
<p>Si ce petit bricolage, qui est vraiment très simple, vous intéresse, suivez les instructions ici-bas:</p>
<ol>
<li>Matériel: poinçon, ciseaux, fils et/ou ruban, papier mousse et de vieux dessins à récupérer.<br />
<a href="http://melaniesaucier.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/MG_1148.jpg"><img title="_MG_1148" src="http://melaniesaucier.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/MG_1148-300x256.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="256" /></a></li>
<li>Dessinez, coupez, percez et décorez le bracelet à votre goût (laissez-vous aller, ajoutez des brillants!)<br />
<a href="http://melaniesaucier.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/MG_1158.jpg"><img title="_MG_1158" src="http://melaniesaucier.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/MG_1158-300x216.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="216" /></a></li>
<li>Les multiples trous permettent d&#8217;avoir un bracelet à taille ajustable.<br />
<a href="http://melaniesaucier.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/MG_1167.jpg"><img title="_MG_1167" src="http://melaniesaucier.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/MG_1167-300x229.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="229" /></a></li>
<li>Et voilà&#8211; cinq minutes plus tard!<br />
<a href="http://melaniesaucier.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/MG_1163.jpg"><img title="_MG_1163" src="http://melaniesaucier.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/MG_1163-300x273.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="273" /></a><a href="http://melaniesaucier.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/MG_1161.jpg"><img title="_MG_1161" src="http://melaniesaucier.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/MG_1161-267x300.jpg" alt="" width="267" height="300" /></a></li>

</a>One who says handmade means e-v-e-r-y labels are cut by my hands. Images are heat-pressed and then cut individually. Tags are rubber stamped by hand. All this stages of production, most of it made by me, let alone buying supplies, financial management, marketing, brainstorming and prototyping and shipping, may seem not efficient and possibly tedious. Frankly? I just LOVE it! I take great pride in looking into every details. And that kind of suprise me. I usually like to be very productive and accomplish a lot, quickly. I am not very patient and I get satisfaction at checking &#8220;done&#8221; next to a task. But let me tell you, a day working in my studio listening to a jazzy beat&#8211; time is just flying! I really enjoy the present time and every steps it takes to create each product I sell.</p>
<p>I may be turning into a total detail-freak too&#8230; ;)</p>
<p>And you other artists that make everything by hand, are there tasks that you feel more of a burden or you enjoy the entire process?</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>Qui dit fait main dit étiquettes découpées une à une manuellement. Mes images sont pressées à chaud et découpées individuellement par la suite. Mes étiquettes corporatives sont étampées à la main. Mes Toutes ces étapes de production, la plupart faites à la main, sans parler d&#8217;approvisionnement, de gestion financière, de marketing et de création, peuvent sembler non-efficaces et possiblement fastidieuses. En toute honnêteté? J&#8217;ADORE! Ça me surprend un peu car je suis une fille qui aime être productive. Je tire habituellement satisfaction à accomplir une grande quantité de tâches. Cocher &#8220;fait&#8221; à côté d&#8217;une tâche est assez plaisant. Mais en ce moment, une journée de travail dans mon studio avec en trame de fond un beat jazzé&#8211; je ne vois pas le temps passer! Je profite du temps présent et jouis de chacunes des étapes nécessaires à la création des produits que je vends.</p>
<p>Je suis peut-être en train de devenir une maniaque du détail&#8230;;)</p>
<p>Et vous, artistes qui créez et faîtes tout à la main, y a-t-il des tâches que vous trouvez lourdes ou vous appréciez tout du processus?</p>

It&#8217;s beautiful. Big snowflakes falling down slowly- charming. In my hometown, <a href="http://www.bonjourquebec.com/qc-en/accueil0.html" target="_blank">Quebec City</a>, we have lots and lots of snow! (a little too much if you want my opinion but it&#8217;s good for ski and for a company I know who sells shovels ;)<br />

So what&#8217;s the problem? I hate the cold. Yeah, I seriously hate it.</p>
<p>Yesterday was so lovely here in the GTA. Not so cold and beautiful big snowflakes were falling down oh so slowly. If I could, I would have run outside with my camera.<img title="_MG_0771" src="http://melaniesaucier.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/MG_0771.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="675" /></p>
<p>Isn&#8217;t it romantic eh? Makes me think, Valentine&#8217;s Day is approaching&#8230;and Valentine+romance just go well together.</p>
<p>So here&#8217;s my challenge!</p>
<h3>Snow + Valentine</h3>
<p>in pictures.<br />
To be continued.<br />
<a href="http://melaniesaucier.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/MEL.jpg"><img title="MEL" src="http://melaniesaucier.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/MEL-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="54" height="54" /></a></p>
<p>&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>J&#8217;aime la neige. C&#8217;est beau la neige. Les gros flocons qui tombent tout doucement, je trouve ça charmant. Et dans ma ville natale, <a href="http://www.bonjourquebec.com/qc-en/accueil0.html" target="_blank">Québec</a>, on est servi en svp côté neige! (Un peu trop si vous voulez mon avis, mais c&#8217;est bon pour le ski et une compagnie que je connais qui vend des pelles ;)</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2042" title="_MG_5792" src="http://melaniesaucier.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/MG_5792.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="80" /></p>

Le hic?  je hais le froid. Ah mais vraiment, vraiment.</p>
<p>Hier il tombait une petite neige toute douce et par ici dans le GTA, il fait moins froid qu&#8217;à Québec (et il y a pas mal moins de neige). Si j&#8217;avais pu, je me serais jetée dehors avec ma caméra! <img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2047" title="_MG_0771" src="http://melaniesaucier.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/MG_0771.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="675" /></p>
<p>C&#8217;est presque romantique ça, non? Dîtes-donc&#8230;la St-Valentin approche, romantique + St-Valentin, ça rime bien ensemble.</p>
<p>Le défi est lancé:</p>
<h3>Neige + St-Valentin</h3>
<p>en images.<br />
À suivre.<br />

<p>I’m coming back from Salt Lake City where I attended the <a href="http://www.altitudesummit.com" target="_blank">Alt Summit</a>, a design and craft blogging conference. It was my first time as an attendee and, frankly, I was blown away by the wonderful ladies (I haven’t met the 4 or 5 guys, sorry) that either attended and/or spoke on the panels and keynotes. If you’re curious, do a Google search for ”Alt Summit” and you’ll be impressed! Many Alt Summit-ers already posted about their experience on their own blog&#8211;beautiful, funny pictures and awesome video-clips! There is one blogger, though, that I think did a pretty good job at doing a good recap: <a href="http://foodnouveau.com/2012/01/24/conferences/5-objective-reasons-why-i-loved-alt-summit/" target="_blank">5 {Objective} Reasons Why I Loved Alt Summit</a>. And oh, before you ask, yes, the blog author is my friend, Marie, from our previous design firm adventure in Quebec City. And yes, she was my roommate at the <a href="http://www.grandamerica.com/" target="_blank">Grand America</a> for the trip. :)</p>

<p>All this introduction to say, &#8220;phew, my head is still spinning!&#8221; Having your brain stimulated by all those professional, creative, enthusiast and energetic people kind of kicks you right there to reflect on your gig and then pushes you to take action. I really enjoy this exciting feeling of starting a new project and it was pretty different than the more engineer-oriented conferences I’ve attended in the past. Don’t get me wrong, I like engineers. In fact, I’m in love and live with one. Plus, he’s the father of my two boys, so hey, cheers to all my engineer friends.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Now that my shop is online, I feel like I should pour some energy into my blog. Although it won’t be easy to squeeze in the time to sit down and write, I think I will enjoy it and moreover, I hope YOU will enjoy this blog. Authenticity, real-life matters and sarcastic humor will be part of the blog, despite English is not my mother tongue. Unfortunately, as of now, a little bit of me is lost in translation. Duh. Did I just said that? That’d make a great movie title.</p>
<p>Alright, so this is how I intend to keep this blog up to date:<br />
-<strong>Every Monday</strong> you’ll see what I’ll be preparing for the week: inspiration, people I admire, new projects and planned shootings.<br />
-<strong>Wednesday</strong> will be for behind-the-scene pictures, my process and business thoughts.<br />
-<strong>Friday</strong> is all for you: freebies! We all love free stuff right? Wallpapers and backgrounds of different sizes for your personal use.</p>
<p>Basically that’s it! I hope this structure will also help me get disciplined. But not too much. ;)<br />
Last but not least, I’ll try to write all my posts bilingual. For my husband and me, French is as important as English. Therefore, we only speak French at home while the kids are attending an English school/daycare.<br />
I hope you’ll enjoy following me along this new adventure and I certainly encourage you to leave comments below. Otherwise, it’ll feel like yelling in a desert!</p>
<p>Cheers.</p>

<p>Je reviens à peine du <a href="http://www.altitudesummit.com" target="_blank">Alt Summit</a> à Salt Lake City où j&#8217;ai assisté à une série de conférences adressées aux blogueurs centrés sur le design et l&#8217;artisanat. J&#8217;en suis à ma première expérience et honnêtement, j&#8217;ai été épatée par toutes ces belles femmes (désolée, je n&#8217;ai pas fait connaissance avec les 4 ou 5 hommes) qui soit assistaient et / ou donnaient des conférences. Si vous êtes curieux, aller sur google.com et faîtes une recherche avec les mots clés &#8220;Alt Summit&#8221;. Vous serez impressionnés! Plusieurs ont déjà publié leur billet à propos de leur fantastique expérience sur leur blog&#8211;des belles photos, amusantes et des vidéos-clip vraiment super! Il y a une blogueuse qui je crois a fait un bon résumé (en anglais):  <a href="http://foodnouveau.com/2012/01/24/conferences/5-objective-reasons-why-i-loved-alt-summit/" target="_blank">5 {Objective} Reasons Why I Loved Alt Summit</a>. Et oh oui, avant que vous ne me le souligniez, l&#8217;auteur de ce blog est ma copine Marie avec qui j&#8217;ai opéré une firme de design à Québec.  Et effectivement, elle était ma compagne de chambre au <a href="http://www.grandamerica.com/" target="_blank">Grand America</a> :)</p>

<p>Toute cette introduction pour dire &#8220;Pfiou, j&#8217;ai encore la tête qui tourne!&#8221;. Le fait d&#8217;être entourée et stimulée par autant de gens professionnels, créatifs, enthousiastes et énergiques donne un coup de pied au derrière, apporte des réflexions sur mes démarches et me pousse à passer à l&#8217;action. J&#8217;apprécie vraiment toute cette énergie positive qui accompagne souvent le démarrage d&#8217;un projet et c&#8217;était assez différent des conférences que j&#8217;ai assistées par le passé, plus cartésiens, plus &#8220;ingénieur&#8221;. Ne vous méprenez pas, j&#8217;aime les ingénieurs. En fait, je suis en amour et je vis avec un ingénieur. En plus, il est le père de mes deux garçons, alors santé à tous mes amis ingénieurs.</p>

<p>Maintenant que ma boutique en ligne est ouverte, je sens que je suis prête à dévouer l&#8217;énergie nécessaire à mon blog. Quoique ce ne sera pas évident de comprimer le temps nécessaire à m&#8217;asseoir et écrire, je pense que j&#8217;en tirerai satisfaction mais plus encore, j&#8217;espère que VOUS apprécierez la lecture de ce blog. Authenticité, préoccupations terre-à-terre et humour sarcastique seront au menu.</p>
<p>Alors, voici comment je prévois tenir à jour ce blog:</p>
<p>- <strong>Tous les lundis</strong>, je partagerai ce que je prépare pour la semaine: inspiration, personnes que j&#8217;admirent, nouveaux projets et séance photos.<br />
- <strong>Les mercredis</strong> je publierai des images et réflexions sur le thème &#8220;derrière la caméra&#8221;.<br />
- <strong>Les vendredis</strong>, ce sera gratuit! On aime tous recevoir des cadeaux n&#8217;est-ce pas? J&#8217;offrirai des fond d&#8217;écrans en différents formats à partir de mes photographies, pour votre usage personnel.</p>
<p>En gros, c&#8217;est pas mal ça! J&#8217;espère que cette structure contribuera à me discipliner. Mais pas trop ;)<br />
Pour terminer, un dernier détail mais non le moindre, je tenterai de garder ce blog bilingue. Pour mon conjoint et moi, le français est aussi important que l&#8217;anglais. Pour cette raison nous continuons de parler français à la maison alors que les enfants vont à l&#8217;école / la garderie en anglais.<br />
J&#8217;espère que vous me suivrez dans cette nouvelle aventure et que vous apprécierez la lecture de ce blog et je vous encourage à me laisser des commentaires ici-bas. Autrement&#8230;j&#8217;aurai l&#8217;impression de crier en plein désert!</p>
<p>Allez ciao.</p>

<p>Here I am, dragging my wagon, a few hours before putting everything online.  And there is a deadline&#8230;I have to pack and leave next Tuesday for the <a href="http://www.altitudesummit.com/" target="_blank">Altitude Design Summit</a>! I am excited and nervous at the same time. And just then, I realize I haven&#8217;t written anything in my blog section o_O ! Stay tuned, as soon as I get the ball rolling, I&#8217;ll be back at this blog to tell and show more about my process, my discoveries or anything related to a working-at-home mom : )</p>
<p>P.S.:in the meantime, since I am kind of new to blogging, your ideas or suggestions are welcome!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>Les yeux bien cernés, me voilà à achever ma première production. Il ne me reste que quelques heures pour tout mettre en ligne. Je suis au fond Léon car j&#8217;ai un ultimatum&#8230;je pars mardi prochain pour le <a href="http://www.altitudesummit.com/" target="_blank">Altitude Design Summit</a>! C&#8217;est exitant mais je suis nerveuse. Et puis paf, je réalise que je n&#8217;ai rien préparé pour ma section blog o_O ! Mais restez à l&#8217;antenne, promis, dès que tout décolle je remplirai cette section de photos et d&#8217;informations à propos de mon procédé, de mes découvertes ou tout ce qui touche à ma vie de maman qui travaille à la maison : )</p>
<p>P.S.: entre temps, comme je suis une relativement nouvelle blogueuse, vos idées et suggestions sont bienvenues!</p>
