Well, sigh and yipee… the last (and biggest) show of the year is over, and though I have a ton of my cardis to knit before Christmas and get them to my clients the pressure and stress isn’t the same. The Chicago One of a Kind is great and it was neat this year in…
No, this has nothing to do with being a fibre artist in a craft show but having interesting friends. Our friends showed us a house in transition and this is one of the bathrooms, the decor is red… right down to the toe nails on the claw footed tub!!!
Ok, so now I have a photo. It’s me in my booth just as opening night is getting rolling. I think I have my act together! My other half is nowhere to be found at this point (I use a tripod & 10 second delay to take the pic) but it’s nice and quiet… before…
Well, first, I have not photo to post… well I do but it’s still in the camera along with pics of the booth and some photos of clients which I took for their files. For five years, I’ve been showing up on the morning of the first day and setting up before they boot us…
I Can’t really believe I’m sitting in a motel room en route to Chicago for the final show of the year. My knits and I are returning to the One of a Kind show at the Merchandise Mart for four days. It’s been simply ages since I posted and this is why, I’ve been mired…
I recently had a workshop on Cochenille’s Garment Designer pattern making software and one of the attendees, Marthe, was French, (she drove all the way from the other side of Ottawa so she came a long way), and had a little trouble with what I was telling everyone. (June 12th’s Blog: Garement Designer Workshop North)….
How wonderful is this? Ebay finally found, in their lovely search facility, the tools I have been seeking for months! (See May 5th’s post) Pictured above are the ones I craved though a couple of others came in the ‘lot’ that I don’t need or cannot use. I move large bunches of stitches at once…
OK, too long since I posted, not that I haven’t had anything happen, just, perhaps, too much happening that kept me away from this segment of cyber space! I had a weekend workshop in my studio and though I only had two who could make it on that particular weekend, and I like to have…
Well, it’s Studio Tour time here again in Kingston and there is a quiet spot after our lunch so I thought I’d post. Bucketed down this morning and we despaired having anyone brave the elephants to come out…. then we found ourselves knee deep in visitors. Now the sun is out and a much nicer…
Just so cool… my neighbour’s sister in England has been doing some fibre art/knitting/college project thingy in ‘Here Gallery‘ called, I think, ‘Twisted: Knitting on the Edge’ in Bristol that I just find neat to look at. I got sent some pictures of her giant needles and of Steph working that I just had to…
