Felting

I've had some productive time this week. However, the internet has been slow to nonexistent, especially when I want to do a post.

Both machines (embellisher and regular sewing machine) were in use yesterday. I used some of the roving purchased in Wolfville at Gaspereau Valley Fibres. Don't you just love the vibrant colours. I might have to go back for some more of the first colourway.

Flower Tree

During July, I was in Wolfville, NS, with family. My four year old granddaughter saw this tree with all the blossoms and immediately called it the Flower Tree. If anyone can tell me its name, I'd appreciate it. I just love the colours!

Wolfville Farmers' Market

Last Saturday, I visited the Wolfville Farmer's' Market. This market is held each Saturday year round and Wednesdays from May to December.  Most of the vendors are inside the DeWolfe Building on Elm Street but there is space outside for any overflow. The market hosts over 60 vendors. You can purchase fresh produce, local wines, fresh bread and sweets as well as jewellery, pottery, and chocolate (to name a few). In fact, one can sit and eat a meal from locally made dishes. On Saturday, there was also live music in the outside area.

I did stop and chat with Pamela Kinsman of Signature Glass. Some of her lovely work is below.

Did I mention purchasing some local blueberries and fresh bread? Mmmmmm!

Road Trek

Friday was a beautiful sunny, warm day. As I was left to my own devices, I decided to take a road trek! My first stop was to Avonport Discount Fabrics in Nova Scotia. I wasn't looking for fabrics but I did spy some 100 % wool felt. Some of my future ideas will be using different coloured felt.

Wolfville was my next stop. This is a pretty little town and the home of Acadia University. I walked along the main street dropping into many shops. Lunch was eaten on the patio of a Greek restaurant. Delicious!!

Windsor was my final destination. The shopping was good there too but nothing craft related.



Bay of Fundy, tide is out!
