A Black Apple

Cupcake peddlers from A Black Apple

My “Cupcake Peddlers” print arrived safe and sound from A Black Apple yesterday. Equally as cute as the print itself is the envelope stamp that read, ‘hooray! mail for you, from the black apple’ and featured the happy hedgehog. I love these details.

Place cards? Done!

One more project checked off the to-do list.  Place cards are finished!  Everything is matchy matchy with the established lupin theme.  Continuity is my friend.

Tomorrow night’s project?  Photo albums.  I think I keep the Paper Source in business  just with my orders of Glue “Zots”.

So much news, so few photos

There has been so much going on over the last two weeks – and I’m bursting at the seams to upload photos and spill the beans. There was bookmaking and more bookmaking and secret projects and oh-my the photo editing. Photoshop and I have been spending many quality hours together.

I just needed to post *something* to say hi! I’m still around and making crafty messes here in the home studio. Since most of these projects are wedding related, I need to keep them tucked away for a little bit. Just a little bit.
Exciting!

More accordion albums

Spent part of the weekend working on this custom order for accordion albums.   One large albums and six minis!

Craft Sale Recap

Ladyfest craft sale

Here’s how the table looked first thing in the morning before the doors opened.  The show was a great success – lots of visitors, lots of purchases (thank you!!) and a great table location right by the entrance.

I hope to do another show soon, I’ve already got some new ideas that I’d like to try out.

Craft Sale Today!

ladyfest

The Ladyfest “Not your grandmother’s craft sale” is today!  That’s right.  Come on over to the Jack Purcell Centre on Elgin between 10am and 5pm.  I’ve got cards and more cards and books.  Stop by and say hello!

No rest until Sunday!

craft shelf

The last two weeks have been busy – heck, the last two days have been busy! I realized on a flight back to Ottawa on Sunday that I *needed* a new shelf/display for the Ladyfest Craft Sale on Saturday (Jack Purcell Centre!  10am-5pm!) – so I sketched out what I needed and rough measurements.

With the help of WoodChip for the workshop tools and cutting,  I had a new custom “grandma meets Stockholm” style of display after several hours.

Now to finish up some books!
