SPRING UP! Halifax Crafters Market

It's that time of year again!  I'm packing up all my goods and heading into the city for the Halifax Crafters Society handmade market.  Check out Halifax Crafters' website for the list of vendors and a sneak peak at some vendors and their fantastic handmade offerings.

I had some time this week to design and print some of these lovely bags to raffle off to help raise funds towards covering the market's costs.  Grab a raffle ticket at the door for your chance to win!

Sunday quilting

What happens when I have a little extra time on my hands.

Thanks to my little crafting sidekick Willow the kitty, and Lucas for taking the photos.

On Saturday March 31st I'll be a part of a day-long gathering of printed matter at the NSCAD Port Campus. Come by and say hi if you're in the neighbourhood!

Crocheting at The Makery

Tomorrow I'll be teaching a drop in workshop at The Makery in Lunenburg. They recently posted this interview with me on their blog. Check it out!

Hope to see you Saturday!

behind the scenes.

Yesterday with the help of my friend, photographer Dennis Evans, I turned my kitchen into a light studio to document all of my most recent screen-printed work.

It was a bit of a daunting task, as my house lacks a single white wall big enough to hold any of my pieces. With a couple of heavy duty garbage bags, we blocked out the windows and hung up an oversized roll of drawing paper (leftovers from my drawing classes at NSCAD) as a backdrop and we were in business.

crafty times on the shore

A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of hosting a small crafty gathering at my house on the shore. It was fun to share my studio space a do a little skill sharing at the same time.




I introduced a few crafters to rag rug crocheting! It's my favorite project of the moment. Rag rugs for all! I'll post pictures soon...

and little Oliver did his best to distract us all from our work so that his mum could get a little knitting done.

it happened!

That is all.
