Another batch of Swaps!
Of course the theme for the last two months has been Valentine's day.
As much as I used to love V-day, this year I felt extremely overwhelmed by the outrageous amount of pink that had covered the world like a tidal wave.
Once I got started on the pink - heart trail, there was no stopping! Here is a little taste of the pink-ness!


I tried my hand at drawing a character for the first time. The theme was Alice from Alice in Wonderland.

Swan theme

I actually added an ACEO to the shop of this painting.

Toronto Winterlicious - Sassafraz
One of my guilty pleasures every winter and summer is having a fantabulous lunch during _licious at a restaurant that may be a bit out of my price range on regular basis.
This winter the ladies and I chose the beautiful Sassafraz restaurant.

We had beautiful food and I annoyed my friends by practicing my newly learned photography skills.
When the food is this good, I believe it is time for less talk and more pictures!
For this carb free (almost carb free) girl the bread was divine

and bread does not go without butter

Appetizer of Smoked Salmon Carpaccio with Pommery Mustard Mousse,
Preserved Lemon and Caramelized Onion

Followed by Cod Cakes with Andouille Sausage, Watercress Salad and Bell Pepper Remoulade

and I finished with Chocolate Pave with Passionfruit Sherbet and Rosewater Gelee

To summarize it was YUMMOOO.
For more pictures head over to my FLICKR
A special mention goes to the Porcini Mushroom Tortellini with Sorrel Pesto Cream Sauce and Braised Red Onions, of which I only had a few tiny bites but my heart was lost to it.
