Summer's here!

Daisy Pins

Wow! I can't believe we're about to head into the August long weekend! As usual, I will be out at the Icelandic Festival in Gimli on Saturday, Sunday and Monday (August 4th to 6th). I have been a usual participant at Pineridge Hollow's Farmer's Market on Saturdays from 9 to 1. And, I tried out the Downtown Biz Farmer's Market earlier in July. It was fabulous! What a unique atmosphere for a market . . . in the middle of downtown Winnipeg with firetrucks flying by!You can find me near the Hydro Building on Thursdays - August 8, 15, and 22 from 11:30 to 5:30. I will be out at Pineridge Hollow on Saturdays from 9 to 1 on August 17, 31, September 7 and 14. Come by and say hi!

Let it Snow!

Well this weekend we got our first snowfall! And with it, craft season is just around the corner! I am booked for 3 sales so far. The first one is this week . . . Saturday, November 17th at Calvin Christian School from 10 to 3. I've never tried it, but have heard great things about it! The 2nd one is at Miles Mac Collegiate on Saturday, December 1st from 10 to 3. I have been participating in this one for several years now! And finally, I'm trying out Tuxedo Community Centre's Holiday Craft Sale on Sunday, December 2nd from 10 to 3. Craft sales are a wonderful place to find something unique for everyone on your shopping list!

Summer Sales!

School's out, that means that the farmer's market season is here! I started back at Pineridge Hollow's Farmer's Market on June 30. It is a wonderful market, just north of the city, by Bird's Hill Park. Everyone is so friendly and there is such variety in the products! If you haven't been, it's definitely worth checking out! The market runs every Saturday from 9 to 1 until September 15th. However, I will be out there this Saturday (July 7th), and then I will not be back until August 11th, as I'm going to ITALY to take a glassblowing course! Be sure to make the drive out to the Icelandic Festival in Gimli on the August long weekend (August 4,5,6). I am usually set up by the pier on the Saturday and Sunday, and then in the park on the Monday. Hope you have a fantastic summer!

The Monster Mash!

I've been busy working on these cute monsters for my future "niecephew". I'm hoping to have my sister put them up on the wall of her nursery; which is a monster theme! My mom has made a beautiful quilt, and my sister has been making adorable wall art with the alphabet with unique monsters on each block. All we need now is the baby!

I'm thinking these would be pretty cute as pins!

Penguins with Personality!

I started making some adorable penguins over the Christmas break! I made some ornaments (for next year!) and some pins. They have been a hit at school during the first week back! I recently applied for the Folk Festival for July . . . fingers crossed that I get accepted!

New look to the blog!

Well, it's been awhile since this blog has been updated! I had a busy summer out at the Farmer's Market at Pineridge Hollow. And, I also did the Icelandic Festival in Gimli during the August long weekend. This past winter found me doing 3 sales, and I expect that things will be pretty quiet for the next little bit! I made tree ornaments for my students for Christmas, which kept me out of trouble for December! Over the last few months, I have been experimenting with different pins . . . daisies, bunnies for Easter, snowmen, and adorable owls. And I am starting to create suncatchers (though they can only be so big, as my kiln is on the small side!).

New Year = New Craft Sales!

Well, 2011 has arrived! And with it brings a fresh batch of craft sales! I've already been accepted into Crafty Minions at Aqua Books on March 12th from 11 to 5 and May 28th from 11 to 5. I'm really looking forward to this one, as I've heard fantastic things from other vendors that have done this sale in the past!
