Rainboots and Summer Bugs
It finally rained! It's been a crazy hot summer in Vancouver & momma was missing her rainy afternoons & shiny yellow boots. We broke some kind of record for the most days without rain in over 40 years which means all the lush green that I so love about living on the wet coast was… Continue reading Rainboots and Summer Bugs

Levine has traveled 19,000 miles to document the movement of artists, crafters & designers that recognize the marriage between historical technique, punk culture, and the… Continue reading Handmade Nation
Made Here Market this Sunday
I signed up at the very last minute to do another craft show this weekend. I got sort of burned out after doing a few in a row, but then didn't schedule my summer very well because I only have one more for the entire month of July. A nice change of pace, to be… Continue reading Made Here Market this Sunday

I'm excited and a little nervous because there were a few things I should've done to prep for the event that I didn't get a chance to do. Nothing major, but would've been nice to have gotten my hair cut, done something… Continue reading Tonight’s the Night
The Elusive Purple Starfish
We've been having a heat wave in Vancouver for the last couple of weeks and I'm starting to miss my cool wet coast rain. Summers here are my kind of perfect - sunny, but rarely so hot that you feel there's nothing else to do but lay around inside, soaking up the air conditioning. I… Continue reading The Elusive Purple Starfish
Crafty Shout Outs
Between Got Craft last Sunday & Foux de Fu Fu a couple of weekends ago, I've got some major blogging to catch up on, among other things. Got Craft was a huge success & I'll be happy to take part in anything that Rob & Andrea attach their names to in the future. They did… Continue reading Crafty Shout Outs
Got Craft This Sunday!
My kitchen table has once again been taken over by prints, postcards & pendants as I prepare for my next craft show - Got Craft. I've been really looking forward to this one & have to say I'm extremely impressed by how professional Andrea & Rob, the organizers, have been to work with. I guess… Continue reading Got Craft This Sunday!
