Getting Ready for Craft Market

I'll be selling my pillowcases at a little craft market this Friday at Parkland senior's complex on College Street here in Halifax. This will be my first show, so it will be a good chance to see what people want.

I really dislike "matchy matchy" and have decided to make each pillowcase unique. Even if the fabric is the same, I'll change up the colour of the trim so they are not the same. I like the idea of mix and match. Coordinating colours and/or patterns for a more creative style. What do you think?

Welcome!

Being self-employed eats up a lot of time and energy, and being a Holistic Nutritional Consultant means I have to look after myself physically and emotionally. I'm always striving to bring more balance to my life. I created this blog to help make that happen. My Dad taught me to knit and play the accordion when I was ten years old - and although instructions for both were very basic, and my first few projects and tunes were pretty scarey, I was inspired to practice and improve - well... with the knitting anyway. I'm always up for a challenge and over the years I've knit everything from mittens and socks, to detailed sweaters and lace. Knitting, more so than accordion music gives me such a sense of calm. It's truly meditative for me. Thank you Dad!
