I have always loved vintage ordinary household items. My grandparents were experts at making do with what they had, and fixing up old things that others saw no value in to create beautiful useable items. I have done various types of crafts starting with sewing when I was 13 years old. Since then I have knit, done needlework, quilted and most recently done a variety of paper crafts. I love thrift stores and antique shops and am always looking for that great unique find!!!

Busy...
I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed the Sustainable Gift giving workshop last week. I took some time to poke around Cochrane this weekend, as well as the Art Market at the Telus convention Centre. Loved the preloved furs at the Enchanted booth, as well as Natalie Gerber's creations, especially the vest. Then got busy making some Tea Towel Totes, Small Tie Rose pins and barrettes, reused some photo envelopes to create CD covers, and made some Tie Pocket pouches, perfect for your phone or other small items. The new crop of creations will be at Green Calgary tomorrow afternoon. Have a great week.
