DIY Project – Northern Emporium

What’s new and exciting?

CHALK PAINTING!

I have been keeping an eye on the US company Chalk Couture for some time now. They have a complete chalk paint and ink stencil system that is suited to everyone that wants to get creative!

Beginners to advanced crafters can make great decor items from signs on a variety of items to fabric and just about anything else your imagination can come up with!

GUESS WHAT? Chalk Couture is coming to CANADA! Ohhhhhh yeahhhhh!

They are currently accepting pre-registrations for designers in Ontario and I have signed up!

What does that mean for you? A great new hobby or business opportunity.

A designer is someone that wants to sell their products. If you think that is you, hit the following link and become part of my team:

My designer ID is CAD277371 (which you will need to sign up)

There is no financial commitment for the pre-registration and you can still opt out if you change your mind.

Here is what the starter package for the US is, the Canadian version should be similar.

Choose to be a designer or a creator and of course you are welcome to put your pieces, if you can bear to part with them, up for sale at Northern Emporium!

For more information contact Tara, either on FB it through Northern Emporium!

I’m going to ask a silly question……. Have you ever made a New Year’s Resolution? Well of course you have! I have as well. I suppose a better question (though possibly still silly) is what does that have to do wit UFO sightings?

Well…….

This year, my own resolution is to deal with the UFOs. The ever dreaded ‘UnFinished Objects’ that have been lurking (ok, ok….. stored) in that cedar chest over there (insert chin jut/thrust motion here).

I have been quilting for many years, so that trunk has gotten quite full. I don’t think there is even room for moths in there…. which can be a good thing!

So, with the flipping of the calendar page I decided I needed a do-able resolution this year, one that would be fun to complete. I have always been a list maker. You know, one of those crazy people that gets a disproportionate amount of satisfaction by crossing things off the to do list.

Anyhow… I figured I should add some action to the thought so I opened the trunk….. honestly I had forgotten about some of the items in there.

Here is the first item in the list, and by list I mean this blog post. In no particular order let me introduce you to my UFOs…….
