Oh, oh goodbye, It's nice to know ya


Last Sunday, my sister and I discovered a new band called The Colourist at Bamboozle Left. Not only is their music great, but I love how they have more than one singer in the band, with one of them being their female drummer, Maya Tuttle. A girl who can sing AND play drums is one of the most exciting and refreshing things I've seen from this music scene in a long time.

It's Raining Cats and Dogs!





I stumbled across these examples of yarnbombing today and I think that they are absolutely adorable and amazing! They were created by Howie Woo as a reaction to the rainy weather of Vancouver as well as the arrival of the Winter Olympics.

For those of you who don't know, yarnbombing is a term used to describe a type of graffiti or street art that utilizes knitted or crocheted materials to decorate an urban landscape.

Now, if I could only learn to crochet.....
