march 09 :: crafty wonderland!

the limbo ladies recently participated in the march crafty wonderland show. as always, we had lots of fun and were able to show off a few new items. bernadette added some lovely cloth napkins to her handmade line, emily (above right) made some adorable wrist cuffs and havilah (above left) crafted some cute little zipper pouches. here are a few more photos of our table::

december handmade bazaar

We participated in the Winter '08 Handmade Bazaar! Unfortunately, it was the day of a big snow/ice storm (very rare for December in Portland) and business was a little slow. It was good fun anyway and everyone made it home safe at the end. (Some of us even braved the weather and stopped by Crafty Wonderland afterwards!) This photo is Havilah standing outside the HB venue, p:ear, in downtown Portland. The photo doesn't really do the weather justice. Brrrrr!

This is (from the left) Bernadette, Emily, and Maureen at our table.

we have a new member! say hi to samantha...

samantha (sam) is our newest member and as you can see from the photos above...she is an amazing artist. her thoughtfully arranged collages incorporate a variety of mixed media such as photographs, paint and repurposed found objects. some of these original pieces and others will be available for purchase along side all of us at the upcoming november crafty wonderland on nov. 9th. we hope you can stop by, visit and introduce yourselves!

say hi to emily...

emily is another one our members that makes jewelry...she creates these super hip earrings out of repurposed leather strips and feathers. yes, leather and feather(s). hey that rhymes! anyhoo, check out her work!

say hi to bernadette...

hola i'm bernadette, like havilah, love to sew. i mostly make zipper bags and pillows using fabric samples from work that usually end up underneath someone's desk or collecting dust in our vast library of materials. i am a fabri-holic and i am seeking therapy. i also love to sew bags, but i mostly sew them as gifts for friends and family. i have blogged about them on my other blog, craftrabbit. i have plans to make some lunch bags and reusable grocery bags so stay tuned...
