Sucess!

I have recently had quite a huge response to my alphabet pillows!! I have made it on to the Environmentally Friendly Gift Guide on Etsy, as well as a few treasuries that made the front page.

I was featured on a lovely blog called ohdeedoh, as well as a really funky blog called outsapop.

All of this seems to have happened at once and resulted in over 800 hits on my etsy site in one day! Now fingers crossed for some orders :P

Clutches

So I've been making these clutches for a little while, but I postponed taking pictures. Mostly because I'm lazy, but also it's been crazy hot and I didn't feel like putting pants on :P Anyways, i filled out an application for Plaid Tidings the other day and needed a pic. So here they are.


The clutches (and I've also made bags) are from recycled coffee sacs, so they are burlap and have all sorts of prints on them. Tons of blues, pinks, reds and greens. I love digging through the pile and picking out the fun one :)

Elephants!

I made the one elephant before, and he sold at Fanfayr. So I thought I'd make a couple new ones out of suit material. Not super child friendly, but cool moms will like them :P

It's been a while

I've been super busy and have totally neglected the blog, and I can't promise I'm going to stop, but I will at least try harder!
In the last month I had my best show ever, Fanfayr. I filled my stores in Toronto, and got a few new stores in Ottawa and Montreal! So I at least have an excuse.
This past week I have been making owls. 30 owls to be exact. And they are all heading out the door on Monday..
I'm in a show this Thursday the 30th in Picton aswell, 9am-8pm in the Curling building.. which I'm not quite sure where it is.. but Picton isn't big, so hopefully I can find it.

Anyways, a few pics of what I have been up to...My giant boxes of pillow forms.. I will be storing these in fabric hammocks on my ceiling :P

30 owls...

Working late at night to make more owlets for Fanfayr. I really need to organize my craft room.. and stop making stupid faces in pictures :P

Art Among the Ruins

So this weekend I was part of a great show called Art Among the Ruins. It was my first time, but the show has been there for many years. The property is absolutely beautiful, it's the site of an old mill and there are limestone walls and old equipment place around a river with some rapids. It was a lot of fun, tons of people came out. I hope to be part of it again next year!

Vancouver

So I haven't added an entry in a while, mostly because I've been too busy sewing, but also because I've been sewing a lot of the same things I've already posted about. So it's not super interesting :P But here are some pics of an order that went to Vancouver to a very cool store called Room6.
They also ordered some mobiles and owls, but I didn't take pics of those.

Honeycomb Cuff

I cut this cuff from one sheet of silver, so no soldering.. which I thought might be easier, but it still was a lot of work :P I really like it but I'm going to have to start selling stuff eventually :( So this one's up on my etsy site. If it sells it'll be hard to mail it off.

My cousin Jen bought me the figures in the back, there's a series of them. B-list horror movie extras, they're hilarious and I'll probably use them for all my pics from now on :)
