A Gallon of Glue

Here is the last bit of Easter Candy. I threw it all into a large canning jar, and our whole family's been dipping into it! uggghh - my braces DO NOT like this kind of gummy candy......but I still manage to eat my fill!

We had gone up to my dad and stepmom's place up in the Cariboo over Easter, and the Easter Bunny found us! My kids were very relieved!

I've been glueing like a mad woman these days, getting ready for some upcoming shows, like "Got Craft?".....I've graduated to the extra large size container of glue! One gallon!

Easter Greetings

Scary Easter Bunnies

Serious nightmare material!

Thrifted Easter Treasures

Couldn't resist buying these sweet little egg cups.....

The kids are pretty excited about the Easter Bunny coming to visit!

Got Craft? Window Displays at Barefoot Contessa

Got Craft? is coming up May 8th, and I'm so, so happy and excited to be part of the show!

This month, Barefoot Contessa's window displays are showcasing a variety of samplings from a few vendors that will be at the show.

Here's the Main Street store:

My daughter did her best to be in most of the photo's!

Here's the Commercial Drive store:

One of my crows sunning himself in the Commercial Drive window!

P.S. - everything in the window display is for sale!

Make It! Craft Fair

This weekend I've been at the "Make It!" fair. The Croatian Cultural Centre is stuffed to the brim with amazing, creative and unique hand made goodness! Tomorrow is the last day, and lucky for me, my friend is coming to help out (I plan on doing some shopping!).

Here's a peek at my table - it's a corner booth......and I built myself in. We have to crawl under the table to get in and out!

Just A Regular Tuesday

Only 3 more sleeps until "makeit!" this weekend! I've got lots of new stuff on the go! Here's an article about the show from Granville magazine, and here's a deal on tickets!

My daughter and I took a break this morning and headed off to Main Street (mostly because I had to restock "Two of Hearts"), but we thouroughly enjoyed ourselves at "Liberty" bakery....

...eating a cinnamon bun....

....and this pasty. Totally decadent!

Then we headed home...back to work for me, glueing, glueing, glueing........

Little Betty

Yesterday I found this "Little Betty" metal toy sewing machine.....it works! Isn't it the most darling thing?

Well, fiiiiiiiiinally, I'm starting to update my etsy shop. I've never given my poor etsy shop any love, so why not start now! These glass necklaces will be added later today......once the kids are fed, bathed, and off to bed! (you know how it is...)

This one is my latest favourite....I LOVE her orange cotton candy hair!

Spring colours and themes are finding their way into my work.
