Happy New Year's Eve everybody!! xoxo

Well, Christmas was celebrated a little late in our household as my husband doesn't get the same holidays this year because he switched to this new job here in Nelson. He used to work for the Agricultural Land Commission, but I guess we all know where that's going now that they want to take a lot of the agricultural lands away. Don't know how we are going to find food in the future with no farmers.

Anyway, almost all the shops here close at 5pm. My husband gets off work at 4:30pm, soooo we were running around on the 23rd trying to buy each other gifties.  It actually ended up being Boxing Day that I just send my husband out to pick the things he wanted (he is SO hard to buy for) and then everything was good. A good Tofurky dinner with veggies was great.  How was your Christmas???

I actually got an offer from one of the shops to carry my items from Fearless Fiberworks!! How cool is that??? I'm going to take the articles in when the holidays are over with and we can concentrate on how to do this. Consignment? or whatever? Does anyone have suggestions?

Wishing you all the best in the new year and may you have the one you want!

Christmas Craft Fair

I had a great time at the Christmas Craft Fair that I was selling in. It took place about an half hour out of Nelson in Castlegar and was very interesting. There were many talented Vendors and I ended up bringing home a few of their tasty and beautiful items.

I actually sold some items as well. My Kootenay Mountain Felted Fiber piece sold and my Strawberry Summer Shawl and my Victory Shawl. That was very nice! There was a great deal of interest in the Felting and the knitting pieces I brought and being the only Felter there it certainly helped :) Here are the pics of what sold:

I made some new knitting pieces I thought I would show you and you can let me know what you think.

This is my Capelet Cowl (which almost sold):

It's made of Black Angora for the bottom trim with Gray Mohair next and 100% Baby Alpaca for the Cowl. I love how the Alpaca yarn is squiggly with thin and thicker throughout. It makes a lovely texture.

I also made a Zouave Jacket from a 1897 pattern book I have. Here are some pictures of that:

As soon as a take a short rest I'm hoping to get back to more felting. I'm going to be working on more textured pieces to wear with a more defined look. I can't wait to get to the designing.

Thanks for following and I hope you like the pictures!!
