Dear Interweb,

Mr. Macgregor

For the last few weeks I have been hanging out at home in Calgary after an injury sustained during the World Cup in Park City.  I needed some downtime so I spent a lot of time with my dog, Dante MacGregor (border collie).Dante, who also answers to Mr. MacGregor, is a killer companion: very smart, very affectionate, funny and protective.

Dante's favourite 'work'...

While I was home, I snapped a few pictures of my pro-model glove prototype that I had designed for Kombi in the fall (with help from my brother who has those computer graphics skills). I recently found out that the glove was well-received by buyers and will be mass-produced for next season!

My original design was purple but the glove will be produced in various colours, including this red and an aqua blue (though for me, it’s all about the purple!)  Roses mean a lot to me:  my name comes from Rosalinda, meaning ‘beautiful rose’ in Spanish plus my beloved Grandma has a lifetime passion for roses.  The zebra print started as a random inspiration because I love black-and-white (border collies, for example). When I thought about it during the process I remember that zebras are cool because no two zebras have the same stripe pattern—they recognize each other by their individuality or unique ‘style’, much like how I recognize skiers.

Glove Love!

Sincerely,

Peace out!
