Er, actually that should be more like moving week. We've got most of our stuff at the new pad, but I haven't even touched my office, desk or any of my art supplies or shipping materials. I really don't have time to take off work, so I need that stuff taken over & set up… Continue reading Moving Day
Weekend deals are here! I was tickled to discover my shop was included in Etsy's Weekend Deals gift guide today. All of the shops listed are offering free worldwide shipping. I'm on page 4 (oops - now top of page 5), but do poke around & check out the other shops. My friends Tamara Garvey… Continue reading Weekend Deal: Free Worldwide Shipping
In the tastiest way of procrastinating I've found yet, I baked a batch of Black Apple's favorite brownies yesterday. Yes, I should have been packing, but technically I finished up a bag of white sugar, so that counts as one less thing I'll need to pack, right? Right. They turned out fab with my only… Continue reading Black Apple Brownies
I've been a busy little bee this week with organizing & sorting & planning. Unfortunately very little work has made it through the madness, but hopefully that will all be rectified next week when the boys & I settle into our new hive. That's right! After months of searching, we've finally found a new place… Continue reading A New Hive
I'm sorry to report that the Got Craft show I was supposed to be attending tomorrow afternoon has been canceled on account of our crappy weather. That's the problem with these outdoor shows...while the farmers might be able to get away with a bit of rain, artists selling papergoods don't fare quite so well! I'm… Continue reading Got Rain?
One of my favorite craft shows, organized by the awesomely rad Andrea & Rob (of Lotus Events), is going bite sized! Instead of the twice a year goodness of the largest indie craft fair in Vancouver, this Sunday, August 9th, there will be a mini version of Got Craft with a smaller selection of vendors,… Continue reading Got Craft Bite Sized
I took a little jaunt down to Seattle on the weekend to visit my sister & my cute patootie nephews. My bro-in-law & official employee of said nephews (current occupation: driver) was kind of enough to be dragged escort me to Seattle's massive summer craft spectacular - Urban Craft Uprising. I had a great time… Continue reading Urban Craft Uprising
It's Friday! It's Friday! That means it's time for weekend deals, my lovelies. From now until Monday, all prints in my shop are Buy One, Get One free. Simply buy your first print as usual & then enter the name of the 2nd print you'd like in the comments section as you check out. You'll… Continue reading BOGO Print Sale
Vancouver officially broke a record yesterday for hottest day in recorded history, as did much of BC. I know 34 C doesn't sound that hot (93 F), especially if you've ever been to Nevada in the summer (ugh...I have), but us wet coasters are not built for this kind of heat day after day. The… Continue reading Beating the Heat
I was one of the artisans participating in the Honeybee Festival out in Surrey, BC on the weekend & I had a fabulous time. It was one of the best run events I've ever worked & also looked to be great fun for the families that attended. Lots of demonstrations, music, games for the kids...tons… Continue reading Honey Bee Festival Recap
