Here are a few shots from October's (frigid) Makers Market at the Cathedral on James Street North...

Custom Order

I forgot about these...I guess I do have some excuse for being a slug this past month.

At the very end of September, I received a custom order (through Etsy) from a woman in Texas. She needed thirty flasks, as pictured below, by October first for corporate gifts. I powered through these guys in under a week and was pretty happy with how they turned out. When they arrived in Texas, their new owner was as well - she said people were practically fighting over them, so...success!

Lull...

I'm finding it hard to get moving on anything. It's like I used up weeks worth of motivation prior to the Queen West Art Crawl. That was more than a month ago though, so it shouldn't be an excuse (or if it is, I should have gotten something else done in place of art like writing, or running a marathon), but there it is.

Mostly, I've been reading books, drinking tea now that fall is here, and trying to rationalize good, solid reasons to never change out of my housecoat.

I guess I applied for a few new opportunities, but I'll only ever talk about them out loud if they deliver (so you can cross your fingers and hope for that if you've got nothing else to do)...and I suppose I have been working ideas out in my head, so it's just a matter of sitting down to turn them into "real."

In the short-term, I can agree to this: I'll find something old, but still interesting, to post. I promise. I know I have images kicking around of things I meant to upload and didn't because I was too busy trying on housecoats. Just give me a couple of days...alone in my housecoat...it might only be pictures of housecoats though.

Super Crawl

A little late, but here's my sweet (soaked and frozen) set-up from October's Super Crawl RAWWWR!

I (along with 50 other local vendors) will be selling all kinds of goodies at the Makers Market at Christ's Church cathedral on Saturday December 5 if you're looking for some awesome to give your loved ones this year.
