welcome back!
I hope you had a great weekend - I like to celebrate the idea of a weekend - even though as a self-employed person I don't really have a weekend - all the days blur together. I am busy preparing for the montreal show and boy is it down to the wire - when am I not down to the wire? I have a few more wholesale orders to get out and unfortunately the rest will have to wait till I get back - while I was dyeing the scarves for the show - I threw in this nice organic cotton canvas and got the most dreamy effect. I manage to get three bags out of the fabric - they are a small tote size with skinny straps - there might only be two for sale since I have my eye on this one. I think I will make more - it's such a good size and hey who doesn't like a basic tote bag. a few weeks ago john got a commission to make a bird house - he has never really made one and of course he decided to take the long road by turning and hand carving the shape, the result - a very unique bird house.
thank you for your comments on the BAH issue 04 - I am already working on the next issue. I am hoping to include more diy projects, since it seems that what you like to see. the random winner of the weck jars is it's imported (congratulations rendell!) please send me an email.
thanks for visiting - enjoy your day! xxa
