The holidays are gone and so its time for a fresh look for the Blog!

The last 3 weeks have been a long haul in my personal life as I worked my but off to make our house beautiful for sale. We put in a new kitchen (with slate tiles laid/ installed by yours truly), had the inside totally painted, new slate in the entry, updated the main bathroom, new lino in the ensuite, new towel bars, toilet paper holders, mirrors and a POD full of clutter. It all paid off though as this last Tues we had 9 parties with their realtors through and we accepted an offer for asking +100 on Wed night. Now to find a house to move into!

Now that I can breathe again, I just spent a couple of hours (OK 5 h+ hours) updating the calls for entry page and the calendar page on the website. There are a ton of calls for entries and some of the winter craft fairs have jury dates fast approaching -- it never stops!

So I am back to contemplating my entries and deciding which crafts I will sell this year, would love to hear what all your plans are for the upcoming craft season!

Happy crafting,

I am very sorry to have missed the opening of the Art of Craft at the Vancouver Museum last night but was able to live vicariously through Poppytalk who gave a great overview of the event. Mosey on over to
Poppytalk's Blog and take a look - truly inspiring!

We've decided to sell our house and move into something a bit bigger (with a dedicated crafting space !!!) So I have taken the week off work, rented a POD, hired painters to paint the inside of the house and ordered a new kitchen -- all to be done by the end of January.
The POD will temporarily house all the stuff that is currently in the garage. In going through and pacing all of it I have come to the realization that I could hold my own craft fair with all the supplies that I have stashed. I apparently really like to shop at the dollar store and have found so many treasures it’s going to be a long time before I set foot in a dollar store again.
I'll be back to report on packing progress -- please let me know if you see any ads for craft shows around about as I will not be sourcing them out quite as diligently and can use all the help I can get.
Till later
