April is Autism Awareness Month

In celebration of Autism Awareness Month, SandysCape Cod Orig prepared a wonderful treasury that included one of my baskets. You can view the treasury at: http://www.etsy.com/treasury_list.php?room_id=123020.


Later tonight, I will add a note to my shop announcement that I will donate 20% of my Etsy sales revenue to the Geneva Centre for Autism rather than the current 10% for the month of April.

I will also add a BOGO offer to followers of my blog, fans to my Facebook Page and Facebook friends.

Special for Valentine's Day

I placed all my sewing baskets on sale at 10% off as a Valentine's Day special. Here are two examples of these baskets.

This type of basket is my wife, Anne's, favourite basket. She has had one for perhaps ten years now. It holds her current sewing project. At the moment that is a willow pattern needlepoint piece she has been working on for about two years. My duaghter-in-law (ma belle fille) also has one that she treasures.

The sale ends on Februaru 1st so I can ensure that any purchases reach their buyer by Valentine's Day.

Market Basket

I added another Market Basket to my Etsy shop today. It will also accompany me to the Carp Fairgrounds on the Thanksgiving weekend (Canadian) and to the Glebe on Halloween weekend. There I will be taking part in exhibitions and shows.






The Carp show is hosted by the West Carleton Arts Society and features the work of artists and artisans from the western suburbs and the countryside to the west of Ottawa. On Saturday the 10th the Exhibition coincides with the Carp Farmers Market and opens from 8 00 am to 4 oo pm.




The Ottawa Valley Weavers and Spinners Guild 60th Anniversary Exhibition and Show will feature a variety of spinners, weavers and makers of hand-made textile goods. Its title. "More than just cloth" does not really do justice to the quality and range of items for sale their. High end goodies!

Centre piece - mini wheelbarrow

The wheelbarrow- Centre piece is now completed and posted on my Etsy shop. It came out quite well. It can serve as a centre-piece for all seasons. The dried flower arrangement could be used with it at any time of the year.

The photograh here shows the underside of the barrow. The axels are made from cedar. It smells lovely

The front of the barrow is finished with wooden beads of various shades of brown ro complement the weavers of flat and round cane that are brown too.

The tomatoes, green pepper, and zuccini are from my garden, freshly picked.
