The Blue Brick | Inspired Yarns

…And I should feel Bad. I have all kinds of stuff to talk about (and some stuff that I can’t wait to talk about, but have to keep on the low for a few more weeks) but I’ve just been too disorganized to really it…

Our biggest, and *possibly* last show of the summer is this weekend, in Niagara-on-the-lake, at the Niagara Pumphouse ‘Art By the Lighthouse‘ event. We’ve been busy bees, preparing tons of pieces, particularly sterling silver, for this art show. If you’re in the area, or feel…

This weekend the Blue Brick will be at the TD Niagara Jazz Festival! This year the Jazz Festival has decided to include an Etsy Market as part of it’s celebrations, and we’re totally thrilled to be included on the list. We’re only there on Sunday, but the entire weekend…

On Saturday, after the farmers market, Tito and I decided to pay a visit to Alpacas From Eighth and Mud, a farm that I’d learned about during the Frogpond Farm art show. We got to visit with John and Sharon (the owners), meet the herd, view…

On the way back from Georgia last week we passed by this abandoned park, just off the 1-75 in Tennessee. I didn’t have anything but my phone camera handy, but you know I had to stop and check it out! There are 2 rusting ferris…

I am super excited about these. This was Tito’s idea for a new bezel design using bits of bark and driftwood that we found at the edge of Lake Ontario. The wood has been carved, cleaned and sealed, with copper elements built on to frame the…

This past Saturday Tito and I had a booth at the Niagara-on-the-Lake farmers market. We’re there again this Saturday, and that’s our last appearance at this particular market for the year, so come down and check us out if you’re in the area! The market…

What’s a long road trip good for? Casting off a Henslowe, that’s what. The yarn is from ‘See Jayne Knit’ and the colour way is called ‘Tut Tut, looks like rain’. I decided to take the FO pics yesterday because the day and the yarn…

The Custom Fit Featherweight is off the needles, fits like a dream, and I’m totally in love. As soon as I really came to terms with having to seam it all up, I briefly panicked. Luckily Amy Herzog has a number of fantastic tutorials on…

Things to consider on a trip (in order of importance) 10. Clothes (you don’t realize that you’re down to only 10 pairs of underwear until you have to pack for a 10 day trip). 9. Toiletries etc. (depending on whether you’re driving or flying, and…

In the spirit of taking our jewellery/nature fusion one step farther, Tito has designed these beautiful bezels using copper and small pieces of bark and driftwood. Can’t wait to add flowers and resin and see the overall composition!  

Tito and I had a very good weekend at our first summer show. Thank you to everyone who came out to see us, or sent well-wishes! Next up; we’ll be at the Niagara-on-the-Lake Market Saturday July 11th and July 18th, more details coming soon :)
