Here I Go

Ever since my first attempt, I have been running almost daily... rain or shine. (Of course if it's rain, I run on my treadmill indoors) and I am slowly building a little stamina. To be precise, I run exactly 1.6 KM everyday... which isn't too much, but is a great accomplishment for me. Baby steps! I am so glad that I made the decision three months ago to change my eating and exercising habits. I have not looked back and hopefully never will! :)

Addiction

Bahhh... it has been only 4 days that I have gone without sewing but my fingers are already itching for some needles and thread. I think I have an addiction! I have already gathered some ideas for a couple of new DIY projects... with the first one being to recreate the following Jerome Rousseau heel from the 2011 collection by adding some ruffled suede on the top of a pair of plain heels. :) Oooo I can't wait! I am also super excited to finally get some shopping done this weekend and to dye my hair one last coat so that it looks more black and more even.

The Piggy Market

A few weekends ago, I found myself wandering around the trendy part of Richmond street. It was there that I saw a couple of tourists eating these ultra-delicious looking taco/pita things. After getting up the courage to ask them what they were eating, they pointed out The Piggy Market to me. It was this obscure little deli place on a quiet residential street... nothing about it appeared to be very special... until I ordered and tried their specialty tacos!

Very delicious and extremely unique. I tried two of them. The first one was a rabbit & brisket one with all sorts of unique toppings and the second one was a veggie one topped with grilled eggplants, asparagus, king mushrooms and, again, tons of unique sauces.

YUM!

Ottawa Comic Con 2013

Last post about Comic Con I promise! 

Over the past 2 days, I have gathered a small collection of all the photos that were taken of and with us. We also saw so many awesome costumes... although... being a big NOOB in this whole comic/sci-fi world, I barely recognized any of them. Surprisingly, we even found some other sailor scouts! 

We had such an awesome time that if all thing work out... Comic Con Montreal.... here we come!

Cheers to a fabulous experience!

My Sailor Moon Dreams Came True!

Finally! We are completely done! Comic Con yesterday was a complete blast. It was a totally new and extremely unique experience for all of us. We were definitely asked to more than 100 photos + interview. I never knew that this awesome and geeky cosplay world was out there. I love it, I love sewing, I love making outfits, I love everything about it! 

I am so happy that I did this and that I made one of my childhood dreams come true! More Comic Con pictures to come tomorrow.

Also, happy mother's day to my mommy!
