You'll be my love...

You'll be my love...

A sneak peak at one of the many photo art creations that will be at the upcoming
Photo Exposition Fundraiser Event for the Vaudreuil-Soulanges Palliative Care Residence..
November 30th ~ Harwood Galerie ~ Vaudreuil, Hudson

All my photos have a story and an inspirational quote usually written by me. For this one I could not have written a better quote. I titled this one, Who'll be my love , which was inspired by a Cat Stevens song, ruby my love, that was playing while working on the exposition. I thought the words went very well with the story of this photo capture.

Who'll be my love

You'll be my love

You'll be my sky above

Who'll be my light

You'll be my light

You'll be my day and night

You'll be mine tonight

Hand stained photo art frames and photo laminations, in various sizes will be part of the photo exposition fundraiser as well as many other photo creations and goodies, wine and cheese, music by Mark Drisdelle and good times.

Hope you will come join us, to help support this community cause.

Spring ~ Summer Decor Trends & inspirations...

miycreations.com, Miy inspirations, miy, at home decor with Maddy

Inspirations comes from many places, I would even say that we all inspire each other in many ways. As a designer, one of my favorite things to do is simply go window shopping...no buying. I like to see the retail trends and then I put my on interpretations and twist into my creations. Sometimes its a fabric or a colour that will inspire me, or a shape or a unique detail. It's never just one thing as a whole, its a combination of bits and pieces of the things I have seen. It can even be a fashion item I saw on a walker by. I always come back from these excursions most inspired. I always look at it all as a whole, the decorations, the fashions, the buildings, all of it inspires me in one form or an other. These are some of the items that caught my creative eye and spirit this season while in Montreal window shopping and at the Montreal Spring Gift Show which is for trade only (so you can get an concept of what up and coming).

After I see things that inspire me, I let them simmer, I kayak, I get inspired by nature and then when I make things, I get a creative serge that leads the way to a new creation.

Getting organized is a great way to start the New Year, and you can start with
your files and magazines. This wooden file box organizer has been stained
with water-based stains that are odorless - and therefore perfect to use
indoors this time of year - with easy cleanup afterward. Two different tones of
green water-based stains were applied to give the unpainted wooden
magazine box a creative tone-on-tone wash-type of finish.

I actually made the Olympic Spirit cape especially for when the Olympic Flame came to our quaint little Town of Hudson, Québec, on December 8th. It was really special to be part of all the excitement and Olympic fever.

Make your own Olympic Spirit cape, it’s a fashionable way to stay warm and cozy while watching the various Olympic sport events live or on television. Actually you can wear the Olympic Spirit Cape all year round ;) I know I will!

You can view the front of the Olympic Spirit Cape on my website, It has an Inukshuk symbol on the front!
