Toronto, ON

Happy winter! And a lovely day it is to begin a shiny new season. I'm feeling rather shiny and new myself. Even after staying up the better part of the night to watch la lune in all its orange shadowy glory ... And glorious it was to be true.

I have a big day today, new musical adventures to embark upon, dance classes to attend, and mysterious rendez-vous, to rendez-vous. Just how I like it.

Bon hiver mes petits... x

 Happy Holidays from Corktown! More photos here.

London, ON

I'm back in L-town avec famille for a wee spell. Since I last visited but a fortnight ago, the sky has dumped a whole meter of snow here! And in Toronto, two hours away we got all of two centimetres? Bonjour lake-effect. The snow drift in my parents' backyard goes all the way up to my Sweetlandish eyeballs. Apparently it's the highest it's been since I was two years old! And I won't tell you how long ago that was. Besides the lure of delicious Friday night family dinner out, the true purpose for my visit this weekend involves dog kisses at the end of the rainbow! Nothing beats the magical pink tongue of Ursa the Abominable Snow Poodle. Except maybe bourbon, shortbread and watching old Charlie Chan movies with my dad. Happy girl!

It is winter here at last in dusty white Toronto! Brrrrr. I've been hibernating away in my warm Sweetlandish sanctuary avec faux fireplace, gingery beverage and steaming pot of soup. It's been so wonderful to have time off to rest, breathe, think, work and organize my life. All in preparation for the next phase. Be expecting a new album from Captain Dirt & The Skirt in 2011! As well, there are plans for another Kristin Sweetland solo recording, so stay tuned ... Also in the works is a book of Sweetlandish photography, and a mysterious new writing project. More exciting details tba in the New Year!

Until then, keep warm and cozy.

Love,
