New Fabrics!!!

I love love love getting new supplies!!! I get very excited and inspired and I think it makes me work a little harder...

Which is what I need right now as I seem to not really understand that I only have two months to get ready for the OOAK. I'm not stressed at all. And I really should be. Oh well, I'll live on this cloud for as long as I can.

I got a shipment of new fabrics the other day and another SLEW coming hopefully next week (and another few coming in about a month... I hope).

These ones are for skirts.

And these ones are for aprons!!!
(the aprons can get away with being really cutsy and kitchy)

Now off to work!!

(Me not you)

From the One of a Kind Show!!!

I have just been accepted to the big Kahuna of shows here in Toronto!

I've been trying to get in for years with my jewelry to no avail (the jewelry catagory is always full and impossible) so I decided to try with the clothing and I made it in... finally!

Of course the really big one is the xmas One of a Kind but the spring show is definitley a foot in the door and also an amazing show.

The show runs April 1st through the 5th but I will definitley keep you posted as it gets closer to the date.

Also, stay tuned, on Monday morning I will be hosting a couple of contests through the Bloggy Giveaways. I'll be giving away jewelry and aprons.

An Introduction of Sorts

This is probably one of my favorite photos from the photoshoot we did for the aprons a while back. I'm sending it in with an application to one of the big shows here.

Amidst all the seriousness of the application there has to be some sugar.

I want the cookie!

The owner of Fresh Collective, Laura-Jean the Knitting Queen, did a lovely write up using this photo http://freshcollectivenews.blogspot.com/2009/01/introducing-nicole-boudreau.html
And she did this on what happened to be my two year anniversary to the day!

Finally...

I've openend up a new etsy shop for my aprons, and eventually my clothes as well.

There are only a few pieces listed but it should be growing fairly quickly. I've had a lot of requests for full aprons so that's what I'm going to focus on this week (is it friday today already?) and next week... and surely the week after that. Oh let's call it a month!

It's always hard to "get back to it" after the holidays!

Welcome to the New Year!

I hope everyone had a fantastic holiday with lots of food, sleep and drink... and then more sleep.

I'm very excited for the new year! But I think I say that every year ;)
I've finally got my computer all hooked up after my recent move (a whole 2 months ago... what?!, I was busy making stuff...) So I will be here, posting new things, more often.

I have decided to add a new catagory to this blog, as I do a lot of baking, I will be posting recipes along with photos of things that I've made. I bake a lot in the winter so I should be able to post fairly frequently!

Having just hooked up my computer I finally got to unload all the photos that I had on my camera, and in this bunch were the photos of the last window that I was featured in at the Fresh Collective with my aprons. It might be one of my favorites!

Happy New Year everyone! I hope that 2009 brings you all things fabulous!
