Sneak peek at Festival of Art opening tonight in Windsor

Well the countdown is on for the opening of the 4th Annual Festival of Art at the Pisiquid Canoe Club in Windsor featuring the works of Hants County Artists.


I myself only became a member a few short months ago, but already I feel a part of this, I'm now realizing, very large group of creative people.



Today I helped hang some really amazing artwork and I'm very excited get back there tonight and  meet all the lovely souls behind the talent!


Wine and cheese starts at 7pm with introductions from our special guests Joseph Landry and Brian Gazeley.
 
The two visited a group of the HCAC members in April for a workshop on Marketing for Art. Together Brian and Joe have built their own fantastic career as sculptors and we're thrilled to have their company for the evening.


Well I must go and get ready - hope to see some of you there tonight! I'll be manning the front desk, so be sure to stop by and enter for the door prize!

Keep an eye out for the yellow signs! 

New Critters at Love, Me Boutique

I've just come from dropping off a fresh batch of critters at Love, Me Boutique here in Halifax.


Chara, owner and operator of Love, Me Boutique, was the first person to really stand behind me when I started making my little felted fellas. Now hundreds of critters later I am ever thankful for her ongoing support.


Together we are planning a launch party July 10th for another of my crafty endeavours - "Pretty Things Merch" for musician Christina Martin. I'll keep you posted on this event which will include a live in store performance by the songstress herself.

In the meanwhile you can get a sneak peek of the "Pretty Things" line of accessories by stopping into Love, Me Boutique at 1539 Birmingham Street in downtown Halifax.

Halifax Crafters Spring Fling - better late then never

Sorry for being so late in posting these, but better late than never right? The pictures might not be the best quality, the lighting tends to turn things a bit green... but I think I managed to include a shot from every vendor... but if I happened to miss someone, I really sorry - there was a lot to see!

Beauty is in the Eye of the Biebholder

Well perhaps I should be embarrassed, but the patriotic Canadian in me has to admit that I too have the Bieber Fever!

I don't know what it is, but when I see him I wish I was a 12 year old girl.... or maybe 11, I think twelve year olds are already over the Bieb and onto vampires or the sorts.

I actually sat wide mouthed as I watched him bang out a solo on the drums during Oprah yesterday. Who knew that Justin could actually play an instrument?

Well thank goodness for that, it might help him extend his career a bit - but I think the end result is still inevitable, Justin Bieber is just another former child star in the making. I truly hope you prove me wrong Justin, I really do.
