Springy's New Store!

Springy's in Hamilton is opening a second location up on the mountain on Upper James. I am going to have my work in the new store too!

It is opening next weekend, June 3-5th is the date I believe.

The new store is HUGE! And the layout is fantastic too. I can't wait to see it all finished.

It is definitely going to be the best place to go to get the coolest, and BEST baby and tot gear!

Sheridan again

I signed up to screen print at Sheridan again! It starts on May 4, so I have one month to figure out my new designs...and tweak one or two of the vintage.

I have been trying to decide what direction to go...and as usual I have about 100 ideas. Unfortunately I only have 10 large silk screens (unless I buy more...hmmmm)to work with.

Stick with the graphic geometric style (which I love) or switch to conversationals...text...photographic images...the possiblities are wayyy too endless.

Still using bold colours though...THAT will not change anytime soon.

Fushcia here I come.

Pictures of my work....

I have been trying to take more pictures of my work...Turn the camera away from the kids and focus!! haha
Here are a few pictures...

Hello March!

Whoa! Time flies!

My work is now available at Springy's in Hamilton. They are a baby boutique that sells strollers (we got our BOB duallie there) and baby gear, bedding, and all of the baby necessities! They love to buy local when they can, so they have some work from local designers in their store as well. We met through the Hamilton Baby Expo in October. Currently they have some baby blankets, pillows, owls, and a couple of monkeys.

I am bringing another set of pillows and giraffes down to the store this weekend...Sneaky Peeky....

2011

I decided that 2011 would be the year of me keeping up with my blog and it is already January 3rd and no posts from me. Ultra fail in the resolutions department I guess. Although I did read two novels this week! Giller Prize nominated books rock. Too bad they disregarded Room...it looks really good too.

So....in the design department...

Working on some new ideas for screens, and totally cleaned up the huge mess I made in the studio during the One of a Kind show.

Bought some lights to so that I can take some better photos of my work too. Would love to actually have some things listed on Etsy!!

Making stuff

Well Christmas is around the corner and I am having withdrawal from my little studio in the basement. I am making blankets for the cradle and doll bed I bought from the One of a Kind show for Summer and Penny. I would like to also make Reed a superhero cape but realistically that is not going to happen. I have one monkey left and it is going to be Penny's! I can't sell her.

I just read someone else's blog and realized that mine is boring. I think my New Year's resolution is to become more focused on my blog and my etsy.

I am buying lights so that I can take some wicked photos of my work. I give up on trying to rig something up every time!

Love,
Heidi

One of a Kind show

The One of a Kind show came and went already! I had to sew every night to keep my booth full. The owls, monkeys, pillows, and stockings were a hit!
I only sold a few ottomans but I guess not that many people wanted to carry a piece of furniture on the TTC. LOL The owl ottomans were the most popular.
I resigned for next year, but decided against the Spring Show. It would be wayyyy too insane for me to attempt to make enough to stock my booth in time.
Ironically I received the Sheridan catalogue for the night courses in the mail today. I think I am going to sign up to print there again. That worked out really well for me.
I have a million ideas..maybe 2 million. Better get started!

Oh, and I met tonnes of amazing artists and fantastic people. It was a great week, although I missed the munchkins like crazy.
