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!

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!

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?

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!!

I can hardly believe it’s already December… time is just zipping by!
I wanted to put out a quick post to let people know that I’ll be participating in two Christmas markets at the Victoria Public Market (#6 1701 Douglas Street). The first will be on Monday the 4th, the second on Monday the 18th. I’ll be there from 10:00 – 4:00 for sure, but will probably stay until the 6:00 closing time.
I’ll have a mix of 2D (framed and unframed images) and 3D needle felting (pears and penguins), as well as some sterling silver and copper jewellery.
I’d love to see you there!
