hello everyone,
I hope you had a great weekend - I had a wonderful time on saturday at the street fair - a big thank you to everyone who was able to come by and thank you to the blog readers that came by - it's always a pleasure meeting you. I am now at double time since I am doing three craft shows this fall - one being in toronto and the others are in montreal and vancouver. I am so excited! I will be spending this week refining all that needs to be made and trying to par down. I will be showcasing my ceramic work at the toronto show - so there will have to be extra time put aside from regular production work. thank you to everyone for buying from our online shop - it's you that keeps me busy and happy.
in the photos - I made this little dress for piper and now as she gets older it still fits and is more of a top - the fabric was a wonderful find at a yard sale (I have been so busy this past season and I promise to get more little dresses out for the fall - I apologize to those of you that keep asking). we get our bread down the street from woodlot (it is a wonderful sour dough loaf - and they make the most yummy lemon pastries that is a perfect companion for my tea breaks).
have a great start to the week and later in the week I will have a great back to school giveaway - I can't believe the summer break is almost over. xxa

  8. Love the pattern of the dress and it makes such a cute layer over her sweet bermudas.

  9. So happy to hear you had a grand time at the street fair and really happy to hear that you will be here for a craft show in Vancouver, I can hardly wait. Piper is a little doll, I loved making dresses for my daughter when she was that age. Thank you for starting the week off with the great pictures and promise of a giveaway as well.

  11. What a nice post - family, bread & a great outfit on your wee girl (love the patch work on the knee - is that embroidered? cross-stiched???).

    ReplyDelete
  12. yes - it's embroidered - but I didn't do it.
    heather I will be at circle craft - it was hard to decide on which one to do.

  13. That bread looks amazing and I think piper is going to start asking for a commission soon she is quite the little model.

  15. hi kathleen
    I'm doing puces pop - an indie craft sale part of pop montreal music festival - this will be my fourth time there and I've always had great success with it - and it's always nice to have an excuse to visit montreal.

  17. Hello. Just found your blog. Your prints look great, do you do all the printing work yourself?

    ReplyDelete
  18. hi perisandcorr
    yes - I do all my own printing.

  19. The dress is adorable, as is your little one! :)

  20. I know- it's a tough choice, Circle Craft or OOAK. I've always preferred OOAK's marketing over CC, however, CC is an older show/has more history here. If you need a place to stay let me know:)
