Happy Friday the 13th! My lucky day (I was born on Friday the 13th). It's been a looooong time since I've posted here. I discovered <a href="https://www.facebook.com/RavensRestStudio" target="_blank">Facebook</a> and <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/ravensrest/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a>, and spent most of my "online time" there! Whoa...Pinterest...I fell in love the first moment I discovered it!</div>

Tomorrow's Valentine's Day, and I thought I'd try making <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/ravensrest/for-the-kids/" target="_blank">these pancakes</a> for the family. Should be easy enough - divide the dough into two bowls and dye one red - heart cookie cutter - icing sugar...voila!<br />

Happy Thursday! Today's Theme Thursday is: "April Showers".<br />

Vancouver is rainy year round, but the Spring rain is different. It can be sunny one minute, you blink, and *pow* a downpour. Blink again, and it's sunny....with a rainbow and pink blossoms.<br />

Here are my Friday Favourites!<br />
<br />
The Spring craft fairs are about to start up again, and I'm starting to think about my displays. I'm <i>loving</i> these hanging, glitter dipped feathers! The mini bunting flags are super cute too.

I've been having a ton of fun in my studio, making postcards for <a href="http://www.musingsonrealities.blogspot.ca/2013/12/international-mixed-media-postcard-swap.html" target="_blank">the postcard swap</a> over at Musings On Realities. Although I've had my new studio space since November, I didn't really move in until this month. It's SO nice to be able to start a project and leave it out.....and to have all your supplies in one place.....and working with no interruptions.</div>

The end of 2013 was a busy one for me, and I didn't have much time to do anything except pour all of my energy into the Winter craft fairs. That's over now (whew!) and I'm looking forward to 2014 - joining more art swaps, setting up my new studio and playing around with paint and collage.<br />

I just joined this swap, hosted by Shannon Ganshorn (of <a href="http://musingsonrealities.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">Musings on Realities</a>). Anyone can join (<a href="http://www.musingsonrealities.blogspot.ca/2013/12/international-mixed-media-postcard-swap.html" target="_blank">here</a>), and the deadline is January 12th. You make 10 handmade postcards in a mixed-media style, send them out to 10 different people, and you get 10 postcards back from 10 different artists. FUN!!</div>

Wow! What a busy craft market season I've had! I've had NO time to check in.....it's all over now (except for one more market date on Dec. 21st out at the New Westminster Quay). Now it's time to have some holiday cheer with my family (and get the house in order - you should see the state it's in after all the craft market craziness!!!). This weekend we'll get our tree and decorate it with my <a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=bajillion" target="_blank">bajillion</a> vintage Christmas ornaments.<br />
