Hiddy Ho Pussycats!
Happy heat!
(I think I am the only one
who enjoys this!!)

So, here are a couple of update photos.
There hasn't be too much activity
in the new space in the last couple of days b/c
of the heat. I had to turn the AC
off b/c it was leaking all over the
phone booth downstairs..oops!

It is starting to look like a store/studio!
The BIG question is ..
where am I going to put all my junk??

A few lonely skirts waiting to be bought.


I was checking out some of my favourite blogs
and found this site.

www.grdano.com

I fell for this coat right away
and had to check the rest of
the line out.

Have a great day Pussycats!
Drink lots of "fluids" to
keep you cool.

caio! luv weezi xo

Hiddy Ho Pussycats!

Ok, finally...after much debate
and consideration, I fianlly got the
room painted.

I went and got another can of white paint and
added HALF of it to the original colour.


It is still a bit darker then what I had
originally thought I would go with...
BUT-I got a GREAT response
from you and the general
opinoin was to keep it bright.

This photo is the closet to the true colour
on the wall.
The fabric on the right will be used to cover the
ugly red "sauna" wall.



AND!- I got my new sandwich board.
Check this out!...


My friend Drew made it for me and
I think it looks fabulous!

Well, pussycats...with the painting done
now I have to clean...yuck!!!
And figure out what to do with all
my junk on the floor.

You have a smashing weekend!
Check out Sunfest in the park..
...from here it smells amazing!

I will be going to get some spring rolls and
Indian curried potatoes!

Thanx for all your input yesterday!!!
It was a great help.
Luv Weezi xo

Hiddy Ho Pussycats!

I NEVER thought I would hear myself say this...
BUT, it is too pink.

I LOVE pink..but this is too much isn't it???

damn, damn damn!

It will be too distracting.
Poo!- I had a bedroom once this colour.
It was fabulous.

Astrid warned me...keep it light.
The clothes won't look good next to all
this pink.


Ok, unless everyone thinks it is fabulous...
it is off to Home Depot for me.

AND!- i HATE painting. damn.
caio pussycats! x0

Fashion is Spinach

Hiddy Ho Pussycats!

Fashion is Spinach
www.fashionisspinach.com
She posted this and when I saw it
I wanted to share.
5 prankster friends wrapped a friend's apt.
in pink while he was in New York.

Being a HUGE fan of pink,
I think this is great!
Check out the rest of the pics on this link.


The Swissmiss page that this is originally from
is pretty great too.
Great design and artsy stuff.

Here are some pictures of the new studio.

Hiddy Ho Pussycats!

Here are some pictures of the new studio.
This is when you first walk in...




The gallery kitchen is on the right.

The round window on the far right
is the round window directly above
Prince Albert's Diner.


That VERY ugly red "sauna" wall
is going to be covered with fabric. Yuck!
Can you tell this place put together
in the 70's???!

Today we paint!
Have a good day pussycats..back to reality!
Luv Weezi xo

Hiddy Ho Pussycats!

How is everyone feeling after the big
Canada Day celebrations???
Can be rough going I know!...

So, you all know that we rented a car and drove
to Brussels from Prague. It took about 11-ish hours.
I love a road trip so that was Ok with me.

We rented a compact car....just need to get
from point A to point B.

So, here is Milos doing a check
( Czech doing a check... hee hee! I couldn't resist.)
to make sure all is in order...

Getting packed...

Nice little car, yes.
However..
1. No air conditioning..Ok with me.
2. No power steering...Milos says not so bad.
3. No radio..well, we can do some "bonding".
4. No passenger side air bag..well I guess I can live
( or not live if case may be ) with that.

So...all in all a fine "basic auto" but a "not so fast auto".
Was I WRONG!
I look over at one point and this is what I see...

OH YEH! Pushing 160/km
in this little car!!???

For those who know the whole "euro-road trip" experience...
no big surpirise!
But those of us who get VERY squeamish on the 401 once
you get to Guelph...
Holy Hana!!!

I crocheted the whole way there trying
very hard NOT to be constantly
eye-balling the speedometer.
(that drove Milos crazy...me leaning over
all the time to check the speed).
Anyhow..short story long..
We got there in one piece and I
didn't feel nearly as unsafe as I often
do on the 401.
Milos is a very good and safe driver so
I wasn't really scared but it took a couple
of hours for the colour to return to my knuckles.
Note to self...next time get a car with
a radio!


I saw these windows in Brussels.
They caught my eye and I wanted to share...


Really like this big pink scarves.


Luv her hair..this cut makes a gal look lovely and divine!
Remind you of anyone???


Yellow and green..yes please!
AND- with this "sort of" zebra print dress..
..smashing.


Have a good one pussycats!
luv Weezi! xo

ps. got the key yesterday and starting
moving boxes in the new studio!

Happy Canada Day Pussycats!

Cheers to Canada being 140
years old today!
Sounds like a fantastic reason to have a
drink and lounge on a patio for a couple of hours!

Me??!...I am celebrating Canada Day
by moving into my new studio!!!!
Yippee!!! and Hurray!!!!
Very exciting!
Finally.
Will post pics of the new space as we
go along and get things set up.

Today I wanted to share some more pics
from magazines that I took while in Czech.

I really like these 2 dressses.
The yellow is so great b/c of the colour alone but I also like
the 60's cut and the covered buttons.
I seem to have found a renewed
loved for covered buttons.
The grey babydoll hangs so nice
and I love how full it is.
Not so jazzed about grey..but that is just me.


Ah capes.... so lovely and so under
appreciated in North America.
I think they are smashing and should
offer a few this fall on my web page.

I really like this jacket...the
embroidery and the snug cut makes this jacket.

As a rule I am not into brown and yellow
but i was struck by this sweater.
I like the green tee under it...

You know me...I am not into too
much structure but this jacket I like.
It would be better in yellow or red...
but I don't work at Deisel.
( not yet...ha ha!)
AND- a mere bargain at $680.00
12, 960 kc sounds more expensive.


This pic speaks for itself...
there a thousand things wrong with
this but i loved it anyhow.

So, ta ta for now Pussycats!
Have a great Canada Day!
Will let you know how the
moving goes!
Luv Weezi xo

When we were in Prague

Happy Long Weekend Pussycats!

When we were in Prague I spent more then a few
hours entertaining myself by combing
thru Czech fashion magazines.
I have always had a fascination with fashion mags
from other countries (especially Italy!).

Anyhow...the day we were renting the car to
go to Brussels I took a bunch of pictures
of pages I liked in the mags there.
(It's hard to see detial in the photos I know.
If you click on them
you can see them a wee bit better.)

This spread was all about long tees
and/or dresses over pants.
One of my favourite things!


I really like the red wedgie shoes here!



I thought this dress was great and
I even don't mind the leg warmers.



I don't like the denim here for this dress
but I do like the dress itself very much.

This page I was really fond of...

Rajska Zahrada...is "Heaven Garden"
or "Garden of Eden"..loosely translated.

The dress on the far left is fantastic!
Pretty floral always rox my world..
i can't help it.
I think secretly I am a fan of Laura Ashley.


Have a great Saturday Pussycats!
Luv Weezi xo

PS!- don't forget your sunscreen .

Hiddy Ho Pussycats!

I have been working on one of my
favourite Weezi patterns called
the Swat dress.

(Note: a long time ago when I was wholesaling
I did a spring season catalogue where I named each
piece after a 70's song. There was a Burn Baby Burn Dress....
there was a Jive Talkin' Jacket.
Good times! I thought it was catchy....
some might beg to differ.
Anyhow, long story long... this was the first showing
for the SWAT dress...from the TV show
S.W.A.T...the theme song....never mind!)
(Astrid remember that???)

Anyhow..bad name but the pussycats love the dress.
(thank you!)

So..I am doing more..

I am going to add some kind of red "ruffle"
or gathering to hem.
It doesn't look finished to me.


I love this fabric!

I need to add the gathering at the bottom
to "50's" it up a bit.
I ALWAYS over-do everything
I know...but it looks plain to me.

This is a new Weezi skirt
called the Harriet Skirt.

There will lots of these in different colour ways...

I will put 3 buttons on each side.
But I think they need to be a bit bigger.

Well, that is the progress report for today.
Stay tuned!...more to come.
Thanx for checkin' in...
luv Weezi xo

Grab your shiny silver spacesuits Pussycats

Grab your shiny silver spacesuits Pussycats

and set your taser's to fabulous!
This collection is gonna leave you "stunned".
(Ok, sorry..i can't help myself sometimes!)

Enjoy this collectio from

www.denapezzano.com

Born into a family of artists (her Egyptian-Italian father is a painter
and sculptor and her English mother is a textile artist).

Dena grew up surrounded by culture, colour
and the affirmation that freedom lives in expression.
During the past ten years she has demonstrated
a chameleon-like talent for self-reinvention,
from polished old school sports wear designer to costume and casual couture.

Professionally she has worked in costume design
for the Australian opera Company, and for theatre,
television and film productions.

Her personal style reflects the inimitable and
intoxicating mix and the Dena Pezzano label, established in 2003,
was originally about making only one-off customized pieces.

Dena Pezzano began with a desire to reinvent clothing
that might otherwise be regarded as unremarkable,
into something wearable and original.
Starting her label off at the markets, it constantly grows and evolves.

This collection I am showing you is called....

Ray Gun Winter '07

I am so impressed with how original
her designs are.

There is no cookie-cutter "mall" fashion here!

Pretty and feminine.

Finding this collection made my day!


Have great Monday pussycats!

caio! weezi xo
