My friends @thegreelycollective are hosting their first craft market this summer and looks to be an amazing evening of makers, yoga, drinks and plain old summer evening fun! Applications are open #summervibes #community #613makers #ottawamakers #ottawatourism #summerevenings #exploreyourcity #exploreottawa

When I started @campyhome in 2014, I didn't really know what I was doing. I really didn't. I just knew I wanted to be part of the maker scene so that I could ...be a better @etsyca #etsyteamcaptain , and also that I wanted to figure out the ins and outs of selling from the maker point of view so that I could help others. I didn't know exaaaactly what I was doing, but I DID have some experience launching a biz, and I knew that if I applied my planning and marketing skills I could figure it out. And I did! In less than 5 years I grew that wee biz to more than 60 wholesale accounts and successfully sold Campy to it's new owner (shout out to @michchap #heygirlhey ) earlier this year. I've taken what I know about preparing yourself to start a handmade business and put together a handy little FREE worksheet just for you. Want it?

Shop update coming March 31!

So my #makenine2019 is only a make eight right now because I really want to make some kind of top using #pojagi but I have to learn how to do it first. This year I’m trying things I’ve wanted to make for a while but have put off while I work up the nerve (like coats, quilts and pojagi!). This year it’s happening. . . . My make mine includes:... 1. #zweigsweater by @boylandknitworks 2. Write on white by @zenchicmoda 3. #whitehorsesweater by @boylandknitworks 4. #frejasweater by @Jared_flood 5. #ranunculussweater by @knit_cafe_midori 6. #amybutlerweekender by @amybutlerdesign 7. #modernmukluks by @dreareneeknits 8. #clarecoat by @closetcase.patterns 9. A #pojagi top See more

Getting so close to finishing this #rugsweater It’s the project I pick up at the end of the day to wind down and I’m kinda gonna be sorry when it’s done . Lots more projects in the queue though #knittersofinstagram #knitknitknit #knittingistherapy #knittingastherapy #alafosslopi #justputterin

2018 was a great year thanks to all of you! Thanks so much for your love and support Wishing you all the best for 2019!!!

This 100% made my day!!! Thanks @knitalieco . #Repost @knitalieco with @get_repost This interchangeable knitting needle pouch from @justputterin comes with me everywhere. I love how it folds up small, making it perfect to take on the go and it’s cute too! It’s the perfect accessory to have in my knitting bag as I now always have the proper tools on hand when inspiration for a new project strikes! . . .... #tricoter #stitchandhustle #onmyneedles #ourmakerlife #knittingaddict #knittersofinstagram #knitaddict #knittersgonnaknit #knittersoftheworld #knitlife #interchangeableneedles #knittingneedles #knittingneedlecase #knittingneedlestorage #justputterin See more

So Plan A was to have a shop update in March. And then life happened and finding new suppliers that I@love happened and first year of business taxes happened so the shop update is now moved to mid to late April. Thanks so much for understanding and your support! I’ll keep everyone posted on the new date #lifehappens #justputterin #etsymaker #lifegetsinthewaysometimes

Looking for a last minute gift for the yarn lover in your life? I’ll be bringing these cards to @cheerfullymade Saves Christmas this weekend. Each card comes with a gift card holder so you can tuck in a gift card from their favourite local yarn store #lifeistooshortforcheapyarn #ottawamakers #youweresmarttoleaveitsolate #localyarnstore #justputterin #yarnlovers #knitstagram #crochetofinstagram

One of the best things to share is music. Here are some of my favourite Christmas albums. They all hold memories from various stages in my life and I can’t imagine Christmas without them. The last one isn’t a Christmas album but a song by @abigaillapell that I’ve had on repeat since I heard it on CBC Ottawa What are your favourite songs or albums? I’d love to have a new one for this year.

This would be my dream job
