Art Show

Well this is a little slow, but I have had some art up at Dwell this month. A lot has sold, and some to out of town people, so the walls are a bit bare, but I have been working to replenish it :P

I'm having an opening this Thursday, the 22nd from 2-7, so if you're in town please stop in :)

Queen West Art Crawl

I took part in the Queen West Art Crawl last month and had a great show!! My best yet. Gotta love Toronto! I took a quick pic of my set-up, I think I need some more shelving, but I like the owls hanging down the side.

Style at Home Canada

So this month has been pretty exciting. I took a bit of a holiday to NY city, which was super fun! But besides that, I got my name in Style at Home Canada. Dwell Boutique, the store I started selling my work at was featured as the store of the month. And they listed my name for my origami mobiles! I was hoping my owls might make it in.. but the mobiles are great too!

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
