Cufflinks

I have been asked a few times since I started working with typewriter keys if I could maybe make cufflinks? Well, yes! Yes I can!

I ordered some bases online the other day. When they arrived, they were a little bigger than I expected (hence only using larger keys at the moment). Hopefully (if these are a hit), I'll be ordering some smaller bases soon. That way I can put together a bigger selection of typewriter cufflinks!

I'll be taking these to the Barns Arts Market in June.

New Teacup and Cake Rings!


I made some more teacup rings last night. I'm in love with the cup-of-tea with a lemon slice in the middle (far left). I'm taking these to the Arts Market TODAY! Prices start at $11.

House-y Pieces!

Whilst I love making clothes and accessories (the thought of people wandering around Toronto wearing my creations is really thrilling!), I thought making home wares in a similar style or feel to my worn items would be fun and a wee bit more challenging!

Here's where I'm at so far. I've been working on Scrabble Tile fridge magnets with day-to-day words spelled out, 'Shopping List,' 'Dinner,' and 'To Do,' to name a few! I thought these would be great for holding up notes or photos.


I'm also dabbling with door signs. I've only made 'Bathroom' so far. I think these would be nice with hooks below and 'Keys' lettered on top, too. I'm also thinking on making a hotel-style 'Do Not Disturb' hanger.



And, with some of the ceramic doll-house tea-set items I had left over, I decided make my own 'Coffee,' 'Tea,' and 'Sugar,' jars by customizing some Mason jars I had sitting about the place. They're a total hit, I've had a few requests already!
