ed a parking meter with a scarf flowers and a mushroom mother daughter team tagging a parking meter the museum staff was a big part of the action of course joan the executive director took her turn up on the ladder to tag a big palm tree out front of the museum assisted by elizabeth the manager of museum education museum staff joan and elizabeth hard at work it was so neat to think of how many hours of work had gone into the handmade yarn creations that people had donated all those stacks and stacks of afghans scarves blankets and more i personally was delighted to find a new home for an old handmade item some time back i hand crocheted a cover for an inflatable yoga ball the ball popped and i d hung on to the cover because i just couldn t bring myself to throw it away when i was there on friday i noticed the stone spheres in the garden across the street and a lightbulb moment happened turn it into yarn art that was a re purposing i could absolutely agree to handmade magic from mama s magic studio becomes part of the yarn tagging fun these used to be a cover for a yoga ball by the time we were done the entire green area had been bombed yarn bombed garden by the museum this project couldn t have happened without the creativity and help of another sf etsy friend amy of jumbo jibbles her expertise and savvy ways with a strand of yarn were invaluable parts of this project amy of jumbo jibbles working hard on a yarn tag in the garden by the museum amy and i serve together on the museum s new advisory committee a group helping the museum with some new ideas and approaches amy coined the hashtag wtfiber for this and other textile goodness at the museum and we even had little wtfiber label to include with our yarn tagging i had fun creating a little tag for a pipe outside the museum ingredients for a yarn tag including wtfiber tag finished tag i call it pipe with mushroom yarn tagging will be happening at the museum as long as they have yarn materials to tag with so if you d like to join the fun be sure to stop by soon the san jose museum of quilts and textiles is a true gem of a museum in the sofa district of san jose be sure to check out the

post comes from amy zierath of lilibet design sunday mornings at the farmers market at fort mason are always a delightful way to spend the morning and this past sunday was enhanced by the unique san francisco fall market that was held at the festival pavilion on saturday and sunday quite a number of local merchants participated in the show as well those from la portland and albuquerque i never cease to be amazed by the ingenuity and creativity of the merchandise featured at these shows and products are featured that you never thought you needed but after seeing can t imagine how you would live without these were some of my favorite things whiskers on kittens just kidding the black breton striped long sleeve shirt with flamingo from blastoffbaby was one of the first items to catch my eye at the market founded in 2012 emily bennett has created a line of children s clothing that is gender neutral bright and cheerful and breaks down the stereotypes for color and pattern for traditional children s apparel girls can rock t shirts with construction equipment and boys can wear pink based in palm springs leslieshockley of tea with iris is a strong proponent of up cycling and creating products inspired from her own garden some of the highlights from her boutique featured all organic onsies with cutouts sewn in from vintage textiles and picnic blankets she has a rather terrific collection of tea towels that she has transformed into stylish picnic blankets a single tea towel takes the center of the blanket and is framed with coordinating panel of vintage fabric they are rather sturdy and long lasting with a waterproof tarp so they are easy to clean another item that caught my eye are the cocktail greeting cards from underwoodletterpress which is based in los angeles cara underwood the proprietor makes stamp collecting really cool and turns the most basic envelope into a work of art however she had me at manhattan and i adore her line of greeting cards that features cocktail recipes and a snippet of cocktail art definitely a great gift item and the perfect accompaniment to a hostess gift or a surprise card for a friend as someone who has juggled many a bottles of wine casserole dishes and flowers on the san francisco cable cars enroute to a potluck or dinner party over the years i don t know how i survived without the creations of shujan bertrand the san francisco genius behind åplat founded in 2014 shujan has created a collection of sturdy and rather attractive carriers for baguettes casseroles baked dishes flowers etc that are designed to withstand the urban commute whether it s on foot bicycle taxi or public transit l r lovely ceramic hanging basket from natacha nay ceramic jewels from natacha nay ceramic collection from san francisco designer scott jennings lumbar lovelies from portland s scout whistle overall the attendance was low for this show perhaps it was the sunny hot weather that prolonged summer or that people weren t familiar with the shops because most were from outside the bay area however it drives home to me that there is a very real connection for success in these shows with the relationship that local shops have with the community and we are very lucky to live in a community that supports and thrives on the entrepreneurial spirit thanks for joining us amy we appreciate your report from
