Mosaic Monday - Studio Love

Wow.....I can't believe the ENTIRE Summer came and went without popping in and blogging! It was a great summer. Great weather, great festivals, great family fun....but busy, busy, busy!! Autumn has arrived, along with dropping acorns, colourful leaves...and those hang-y silk worms dangling from the trees!

I very recently rented a studio space outside of my home. I can't show any photo's yet, because it's in shambles with paint supplies and Ikea boxes everywhere. I spend a lot of time on Pinterest though, admiring other people's studios....so "Studio Love" is the theme of my Mosaic Monday today! The links to the studios above can be found on my Pinterest board: Studio.

Summer Markets Have Begun

It's been busy around these parts!  The weather's improving and the outdoor shows have begun!  Here's my booth at the Ladner Village Market last Sunday:

Here's my booth set up at the Vancouver Mini Maker Faire (part of the mini Got Craft? group).  I had just bought that vintage 3-tiered lamp there on the left - I LOVE it!

My kids, taking a little break at Sports Day.  They're growing up fast!

My hubby and I dropped the kids of at "Oma's and Tante's" over the Victoria Day long weekend and had a fun weekend away on our scooters!

A few of the things I've been working on.  Do you instagram?  These photo's are from my instagram account (RavensRest is my instagram name).

I started selling my wares at a store attached to the Vancouver Public Library's main branch downtown, called Book'mark.

Work in progress:

This is what it looks like when I pack up at the end of the day:

A little snapshot of my table - Scrabble Tile cuff links and glass necklaces:

I've been promising people that I'd update my "upcoming shows"....... I'm just about to do that now!

Hope everyone's getting out and enjoying a little bit of good weather!

Make It! - Spring Craft Fair

This weekend I was at the "Make It!" fair.  Here's some pic's of my table....it's hard to fit everything into a 6 foot space!

WOYWW?

What's On Your Workdesk? Wednesday

I'm jumping on board with Julia Dunnit's weekly bog-hop. Pop on over to her blog to see a full list of the people participating in this weeks "What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday".

I've been starting to prep for all of the upcoming Spring shows, and today it's all about these 1 inch square glass tiles. This is the beginning of a big batch of necklaces. Not so much colour or brightness on my Wednesday work desk today.....but these little guys will get colour added to them soon enough!

(ha! I just noticed the lego figurine sitting there!)

First Market: Portobello West

Last weekend I did my first market of the year: Portobello West! Here's some snapshots of my table.....always changing! It will be interesting to compare photo's of my last show of the year to this batch here. I always see things that need changing! This is just the beginning of show season.....I'll update my calendar soon!
