C'est l'Halloween!

Hat Weather

I've been slowly and steadily making things for some upcoming holiday fairs. Two confirmed so far include The Fat Goose Craft Fair in Kingston, and City of Craft  in Toronto. I hope to do at least one more close to home. 

Enjoying cooler weather, and hats again (at least at night) and why shouldn't that include eggs?

Leaves and Snow

I've gotten into the habit of walking the mountain in Montreal, and although it's not quite fall, and there's no snow to be seen, I look forward to the changes to come. These two new wall banners depict Fall and Winter walking scenes, and I've put them in my shop.

I also like making tassels, so I've added one to my second shop of vintage craft supplies, Maudthrift.

 

 

I see more in these than tassels - two little eyes could make a ghost-like character, or a twig handle to make a broom? we'll see.

looking closely at starting a needlepoint picture - some helpful inspiration / recently returned old stock which is nice to see with fresh eyes / a wonderful surprise gift of trivet and coasters made from 1930's bobbins /  new cross stitched wall hanging, 'Women in Bathtubs in Apartments' 13.25" x 21.75" / sticks found on a walk which I'd like to incorporate into future work.

Craft Work

Putting the breaks on craft making/craft fairs/craft business for awhile to focus on some bigger fiber art projects. I've been reluctant to let go, but courage needed sometimes.

Meanwhile, a few things remain in my Maudstitch shop, and I've just added a bunch of vintage craft supplies to Maudthrift:

...because I still love digging through thrift stores for little things to make new things out of.

For two good friends on their way to an island adventure.
