Exciting news – I have a show coming up! If you’re in my list of contacts, you’ll probably see this twice… sorry about that…
Upcoming Fibre Market
It’s almost time for the fall Island Knits Yarn and Fibre Market – yay! I’m happy to be participating again – it’s such a lovely day of talented makers and gorgeous colours and textures. I should also mention the incredibly yummy food available from the vendor restaurants at the Victoria Public Market.
I’d love to see you on November 10th!

I’m pickin’ up good Fibrations
You’re probably thinking “boy is she bad at spelling – she’s made a spelling error in the title.” Nope – it’s correct. Have you heard of Fibrations? It’s a yearly community-based celebration of fibre, and this year I’m going to be part of the market – yikes! It’s a bit terrifying as it is a larger market than any I’ve done before, and I have will have much more space than my usual 3×6 table. I’ve vowed to myself that I’m not going to leave everything until the last minute (like I usually do), and I’ve already started working on some jewellery and wet felting. Fingers crossed I can keep it up or I will be one stressed Dee in August!
Here are the details:
Fibrations 2018
When: Sunday, August 19, 2018, from 10-4
Where: The Fairfield Gonzales Community Place, 1330 Fairfield Road, Victoria, BC
Ryan and Stephanie, owners of Knotty By Nature, are the organizers of the event. To help keep costs low for the artists/vendors, they organize a fundraising raffle – the vendors all contribute handmade items, fibre, yarns or tools to be raffled.
On the day of the event you can buy your raffle tickets at the raffle table for $2 each. With your ticket(s) you get to choose which prize(s) you might win. There is a strong fibre arts community in Victoria, and it definitely shows in the potential prizes.
You can find the Fibrations website here, and I’m quite sure you’ll be hearing a lot more about this market from me.
Here’s a picture of me and the neighbour cat – he visited while I was wet felting – we had quite the conversation!

Need some fibre in your life?
Then this post is for you. It’s time for the Spring Fibre Festival organized by Island Knits. It’s happening on Saturday, April 14th, from 11:00-3:00 at the Victoria Public Market. I’ll be there with a selection of needle felting and jewellery. Would love to see you!
What would a post about fibre be without a picture of Smudge helping?

Thank you!
Happy New Year! Okay, I’m a little late on that, but it still counts!
I wanted to send out a thank you to all of you. I feel so fortunate to have so many supportive people in my life.
This was especially apparent during my brief but fun market “season”. You listened to my ramblings about stock and all things market related (in person and/or online), witnessed the disaster scene as I prepped, and came out to the markets to shop, visit, supply me with drinks and man the table for breaks.
There will be more later on markets that are upcoming, but for now, thank you!!
