Yard Sale Trunk Show

We are pumped to once again be a part of a trunk show at the Workroom this weekend! The vendors are amazing and this show will expand out into the back yard of the workroom (fingers crossed for sunny weather). You should stop by and get your craft and rummage fix.

Oh so many scarves!

You may remember that we started this project back in the fall. It took a while to fine tune it but we just finished a fairly sizable edition of wood grain and flowery scarves. You can pick one up at Bluebird Handmade and on etsy soon.

It's a good thing we had all that Canadian flag packing tape...

Print party!

100 Prints was a blast. Lots of good art, good food and good people. We only took a couple of pictures unfortunately, but we recommend you go check out the complete set of works up for grabs that night. See here.

Beside Herself girls!

Here is the piece that we donated to the sale:

These went home with a couple wearing fedoras.

100 Prints

We are delighted to be a part of Open Studio's annual fund raising Gala 100 Prints. It's a Printmaking party!

From their website:
For our major annual fundraising event, 100 prints are curated from prints donated by nationally and internationally recognized Canadian artists; 100 tickets are sold for the event, assuring each ticket holder an original fine art print. The minimum value of each print is $375. Tickets are drawn in random order on the evening of the event. As each ticket is drawn, its holder has one minute to choose a print. As the evening progresses the element of chance creates an air of anticipation and excitement.

The Gala is tomorrow, but I have it on good word that there are a few tickets left. Get your ticket now!

Cuteness at the Workroom and cats everywhere

We had a great time at the Workroom on Sunday! There was lots of great work to look at, and we made some really great and crafty BFFs. Here are some photos of the day for you, but to see more (and better) photos, you should really go see Karyn's amazing Flickr set.


Amazing cards and fabric by Melinda Josie. Do you see the cat-flower fabric?! (OMG)

Old Weston's trunk of wares!

Lot's of lovely fabric by Repeat Studio

This cat-face pillow was just one of the many cat-themed pieces we saw that day. Lines by: Davis

Lot's of Owls on the Lines by: Davis table.

Everybody tried on Becky's cute bow shoes hoping they would fit; they were the Cinderella shoes of the day.

Adorable needle book by Needle Book.

All kinds of colour and amazing work with Deadweight ...and a kitty.


The little lady on the right came home with us (so rad). Also, the neon catty fella on the upper left (with green circles) is Sandi's fat cat Oreo. Carolyn also owns a fat cat named Oreo. WEIRD CAT COINCIDENCE!


Cats, and bunnies and bears! Stitch Face had all kinds soft things to look at... and squeeze.

These clocks! *heart*

For some reason the photos we took of Argyle Acorn's trunks came out blurry. Boo. There's some good ones in Karyn's set though. See her pretty hair feathers there.

Oh and this is us.

Cats!

Spring Trunk Show!

This Sunday Beside Herself will be at the Spring Trunk Show at the Workroom. This will be our very first workroom show and our first craft show of the year. We've been looking forward to this for a while and have been working to get some soft wood grain things ready (hint hint).

Good times and good art

Hey everybody, thanks for coming out to the opening of One 2 Many! It was a great time. Here are a few pictures, but they really don't do the show justice. If you didn't make it to the opening the show is up for the rest of the month, hours and location here.

The man himself...

Everybody loves milk!

Especially this guy.

This is a collaborative piece everyone in the show made. Can you guess which panel is ours?
Tree stumps!
There was so much more work than what these few pictures show...
