Not just for wrists or necks anymore - pomo mama's wire crochet hits the top!
I'll be showcasing these vampy hair accessories at the Blim community market on Sunday. They're pretty, they're fun, and they're just right for spring!

See you at Heritage Hall!

Spring is sprung!

Just a reminder - on Sunday, 28th March ebb and flo by pomo mama design will be opening for the season at the Blim Monthly Community Market.

I'll have a table set out with delicious wire crochet and metalwork goodies, some end-of-season bargains and some new stuff, and look forward to you dropping by to say "Howdy".
It's Spring by golly!


Hint: to see where else I'll be selling this year check out the Shopping tab on the Home page above the blog posts.

Make It March: under construction

Oh me, oh my! It's almost a week since I last blogged! I have been "being creative" I promise but not in a tangible "handle it in your sweaty mitts" type of way - I've been virtual creating aka on the internet.
I've spent the last week creating a virtual social network for a local artists' cooperative, the Blackberry Artist's Society, and now it's ready to unleash on the general public. I've opened twitter and flickr accounts, set up a blog and facebook fanpage ..... and then magically interconnected them with auto-updating. This little lot logged around eight hours at the keyboard time! Not a quick process.
Now that it's all set up I just need to create content, mastermind a blogging schedule and promote the giftshop.
Be a dear and link to us! The details are in the nice bookmarking Follow Me button below from Social Follow!

Make It March: ruffles

Yesterday I had a bit of a holiday from jewelry but still stuck to my Make It March theme.
Swaporamarama came to town so I indulged in some hedonistic sewing and upcycling. It's very easy to forget to make stuff for yourself if you are running a crafting business since all your creating time is technically spoken for by the business, and often working on hobbies is the last thing on your mind at the end of a hard day.
But when you're out of the home, and there are sewing machines, fabric, notions, upcyclable clothing and more on tap then what's to stop your inner child from coming out to play?
Thank you ArtsConnect and Douglas College for a wonderful afternoon.

Fuzzy Friday: the remake edition

These fibre and wire stars are destined to become fascinators - see here for a pic (and the secret of youth!)

Rather than being trashed I'm upcycling/repurposing which makes me feel very eco-aware!

So what do you do to re-vamp your work?

Make It March: still ongoing

No, the necklace is still not finished.
Yes, I am still working on it.
Yes, the progress is slow.
Yes, it will be worth hanging around for!
