Greetings again from my bright sunny kitchen in the glorious Victoria morning... Not a drop of rain has fallen since before Valentine's Day and Vancouver Island has been positively drenched in golden sunlight. This is indeed strange weather behaviour for the Pacific Northwest in winter- but I complain not! I guess the desert down in the Southwest US has just been getting pounded with our rain... not to mention LA. And I heard around Death Valley the desert has started turning green! Seeds that have been dormant for thousands of years are suddenly growing... oh my. (Like, climate change anyone?) Yet I suppose climate change tends to happen on planets sometimes- think Ice Age.

In other more artistically-centric news, how do you like my new wedding photo? I've started working on a new self-portrait series in the vein of the one I did (now) years ago... See here. Hopefully I'll be able to use some of the images for new-album booklet design and other such endeavours. And who did I marry you ask? I'm thinking it's probably my guitar as we seem to be the only ones there....

adieu for now- and more photos soon!

Hey folks... It's been a great day. Yet again with the incredibly beautiful sunshine! Spent the afternoon frolicking about Goldstream Provincial Park, one of my very most favourite places in the world. No matter what crazy business is going on in my life that forest always manages to set me absolutely right again. Thank the Universe for that.

Today I've also been working on creating a new Mailing List sign-up form for the website. So please sign up! I'll keep you abreast of the important Sweetland goings on and let you know when I'm coming to your area on tour...

Sign up now!

 

And I will so not even slightly spam you. Cross my heart. 

Hope all is fabulously well with you all out there,

and nighty-night, xx kristin

Happy Valentine's Day everyone. Being the true daughter of Venus that I am I cannot help but enjoy this day immensely. But really, any good excuse to buy myself some fine wine and roses is so ok with me... Was going to take myself on a fabulously nerdy Valentine's Day date to the Dominion Observatory here in Victoria, but they strangely seem to close before sunset. What possible good could that be I ask? I oh-so require dark skies for my glowing orb viewing. In other affairs, all is going magnificently well. Have been working hard on new-album writing, website fixing and conspiring my fine and illustrious future... Stay tuned for extreme yumminess coming soon!

kisses, xo K
