(click for bigger view) Thanks for all the comments about the brooches! It is good that some of you like them, you know how it is when you make a thing you have never made before. It is hard to imagine if anyone would actually want one besides you. I suppose that is the thing though, make what you yourself like and there will be someone somewhere who also likes it! ramble ramble. Here are some little tiny "artworks" you can hang on thhe wall- stamps from the republic of bird. Again, for the craft show. I will maybe put these things in the shop afterwards, but you can always email me if you like something. :)

ahhh, so I am timing my picketing today so I get there in time to eat my tuna sandwich and fruit salad.
I like a rest before I start! And then many throughout... its the only way.

Your picketing seem more flexible than we were allowed, no sitting allowed, strict adherence to schedules...blah blah.
We could picket a building near our homes though rather than our normal work locations - so I didn't know anyone on my team at first we did get to know each other had a laugh every day. We some silly stuff once summer came we had BBQs, craft days, a yard sale, celebrated every occasion there was to celebrate. I even made a picket sign from fun foam for our token dog. We over loaded on free Tims and treats from the neighbourhood supporters. I miss my CBC hope you are back soon.

Hey Tania! I really love your new stuff! Been reading your blog for quite some time and wanted to stop by and say hi. So: Hi from Germany! :-)) Reading your entries and looking at your art makes me happy and soothes me! All the best, in general as well as for your art show, greetings, Charis :-)

[kristin]

[Laural]

Wow, you are being so productive and I love all your new things! You are inspiring me to get to work for that craft fair.

I love your positive thoughts during a difficult time; I'm so sorry about the stike. I absolutely ADORE those stamps. I would have to get them all - birds by the dozen!!

[Eliane Conde]

I love your creations and the great colors!

these are adorable tania! i think they will sell fast!

just fyi - hate to talk about boring techy stuff, but i've noticed your page hasn't been looking right lately in my browser (safari) so i just went over to explorer and all is cool - so just to let you know - safari is not reading your page too well. it covers up half of your text so you can't read your post. has anyone else mentioned this to you? it's just started lately as it was fine before that. so if you've changed anything in your template, perhaps that may be why. i know this is all boring stuff, but i was blogging along for 2 months with a similar problem and nobody told me until finally one day someone mentioned it and i was very thankful.

wOw!! I LOVE those. They're so darling. They're gonna sell big.

[sassinak]

[tania]

I would buy a stamp from the republic of bird. Fun at home, but especially good for the office.

The things you make are so cute, it's almost sinful....
