This was not what I had in mind when I began Outdoor Crafting. It was meant to be a blog based on my summer outdoor crafting classes. Well, making horse pads for horses is what is happening at the studio this winter.

This is the latest at Mealy Mountain Gallery and Fantasy Studios. We are sewing the horse pads for Material Horse. Right now the images are themed from the book Twilight. Horse pads and t-shirts can be purchased on line only.
If you have difficulty finding out how to order, send me an e-mail, labradorcraft@gmail.com

Tom and George are screening the images with waterbased, non toxic inks.

No serious travelling until after March 9th. I'm glad to be working from home base for a change.

This would be a great day to just get outdoors, take pictures, snow shoe in the country. Feed your imagination.

Snow has been gently falling here in Central Newfoundland for nearly 48 hours. The trees are heavy with the snow. Postcards for Christmas.

Visit Hilary's Exhibit

If you are in the Corner Brook, NL area this week drop by the Arts and Culture Center on University and see the exhibit by Hilary Rice, MEStudios.

"Underwater Beauty"

Molly White of Molly Made, Woody Point has a couple of pieces in the exhibit.

"Button Accordion" caught my attention

I have oodles of more pictures but I don't want to spoil it for you. The exhibit is a "must see".

Hilary's Exhibit

Labeled "Mausy Weather" is a fit label for the day outside but inside it was rewarding and inspiring. Hilary's work makes you want to go back to your own studio and put your heart and soul into your own work.

Opening Exhibit

The snow is gently falling outside. George and I are about ready to leave our comfortable Bed and Breakfast, The Brookfield Inn, Corner Brook and search for some lunch. Around 1 we will be joining Hilary Rice at the Arts and Culture Gallery for the opening of Hillary's new show. The next blog should have some pictures.

Quite a few events happening in this neck of the woods. Urve Manuel will be opening her new studio in Gilliams on February 14. Unfortunately I won't be able to drive back over here again for this but I am sure someone one will be taking pictures and we can see the pieces she has for the grand opening.

Craft Internet Marketing

We are in the middle of an internet workshop here in Corner Brook, Newfoundland and Labrador. I am learning how to market my craft shop and craft tours better on the web.

There are nine of us here at the Sir Wilfred Grenfell College with Wilma Hartman of Applecore.ca and Digital Daisy.

My new look website should be functional by the end of this week

Labrador Craft Tours

Happy New Year 2009

This year began busy for me. I have been updating my www.labradorcrafttours.webs.com site. Visiting with my grand children in Happy Valley Goose Bay and preparing for the new tours this season.

Drop by my website and see what is new.

I am also learning how to market on the web so I can help our tour business, and advertise our new craft website when it is launched. Our old one is still up there and we do get visitors. Drop by www.mealymountaingallery.com
