Craft Fair Photos


Here are some pictures of GreenNest stuff at the Santa Presents 2010 Craft Fair on Nov. 6 & 7 in Penticton, BC.  It was a full family effort to get everything ready the night before the show!  We had scarves & hats made with my hand-dyed wool, as well as baby slippers made from recycled sweaters.  There were also skeins of my brown hand-dyed wool made from local BC alpacas - the alpacas are named Mojo & Jimmy :), other brightly coloured wool, and birds nest cookies too!  It was great to reconnect with some old friends and meet some other craft-y people.  Thanks everyone for your support and see you at my next show!

New Hand-dyed Yarns!

Here are some of my latest hand-dyed yarns.  A couple of days ago, it was a beautiful, sunny autumn day and I got down to business with 6 new skeins of yarn.  The process is labour-intensive but I'm really liking the textures and bright vibrant colours.
