Marketplace
Soo I've never done an Indie Craft Fair or Marketplace. However, I have always been intrigued by Renegrade Craft Fair. They always seem really fun and full of amazing things. Anyways, a woman from Mayday Underground arts & crafts fair contacted me via etsy and invited me to apply to be a vendor for their fair in November - and I applied! I guess they only accept 40-50 vendors and I will find out in early September if I have been chosen. And... I didn't stop there! I also applied to City of Craft in Toronto, the event is the weekend of December 10 &11. Similarly they only accept 40 or so vendors and I will find out in early September... wish me luck! Here is a slide show of the event and items from last year.

Etsy
My Etsy Shop has been doing so well since I launched it a week ago!! I wasn't really expecting to sell as much as I am. I've sold a lot of scarves, so I ordered a bunch more yarn from this great company in Portland, Me - Quince & Co. They have brilliant colors in brilliant names like Barnacle, Seaweed, Bark, Twig, Honey etc... Honey and Twig are my fav (especially color blocked together)! I am going to make some new scarves and I am also going to be attempting the sweater pictured below, from a Quince & Co. pattern. Until I get all of my natural dye stuff down I will be using only Quince & Co. yarn and Americo Original yarn from Toronto.

Photo Shoot
These are a few of my favorite shots from the Louder Space photo shoot a few weeks back. Paul Wilson is a genius, and took all of these photos for me, I owe him big time. I'm so so happy with them. They will be perfect for the advertisements I want to make. Also I am hoping to get my website up and running and want to have a nice look book or photo gallery with these and all the rest of the photos available.

I'm back! I've had the best vacation so far! I will post all about it later. For now though, I have some very exciting news! After a year of planning and making, I've finally set up my Etsy site! Eeeeesh it's about time, I know. Anyways, without further ado: Louder Space Etsy Shop <---- Click Here * Click Here!!!
Below are a few pictures from my shop. These are not the photos from the photo shoot, I am still waiting on those. My friend Reanna was kind enough to shoot these for me yesterday in the studio. I'm really happy with them!
