Had to share a few snapshots of the work we’ve been up to lately, along with information at last about our upcoming art shows! Tito and I have been accepted to: Frogpond Farms Organic Winery, Art in the Vineyard, June 20-21 Niagara-on-the-Lake Market, July 11th…
Actually, I’ve been up to a great deal more than this – I’m building out an e-commerce site that will allow folks to purchase patterns, books and jewelry from us, without having to bother with Etsy, but it’s not ready for release just yet :)…
