Custom made coffee cozy

Chantale at the cafe wanted a coffee cozy.
Gill told me she likes things with crowns.
She was wearing a plaid shirt that day.

This is what I made for her.



Want one? Let me know.
I'll make one custom made just for you for only 20$.
At that price, who wouldn't want one!

Two new pieces in the store!

Yay! I'm starting to get a pretty good inventory, maybe I will listen to Wil's advice and try to do a show...
Not sure yet...

Here are the two beautiful new pieces I posted on Etsy today.







I've also started working on a Baby Quilt. I think quilts are great and inspiring. I'd love to get custom orders for baby quilts.
Such a beautiful piece to have

Here is a pic of the colours and textiles I've chosen so far..






I am also working on a tote bag! woo hoo.. Moose Project is coming along!

Moose Love You!

Sunday Sunshine

Hey everyone,

So the whole quitting your job for a passion thing is pretty rad. The reason I make these things is because I want to make something that people will hold tight, love and maybe even slobber on while taking naps. My whole life I've adored the things my mother made for me and my two sisters. I want to bring that home made lovability to the world and show them that the real precious objects in this life we live are things that shine threw and stand out from the ordinary. It's ok to be different, and that is what I am trying to prove. The difference is, these pieces are made by someone who wants to be making them.





If any of you have anything special in mind, let me know. I'd love to make a custom order.


Show some love, support MOOSE PROJECT.

Again with the late nights.

Hey There!

So yeah, today got my pretty excited. Lots of coverage, and an extra lil hooray my way never hurt anyone.
I've been listening to alot of Julie Doiron lately. Hence my whimsical moose mobile.
Get ready for more, and different varieties. I'm so lucky I live on a street covered in giant old maple tree's.

I bet your thinking I cut branches off for my crafts. WRONG. I find them. People trim their tree's, and like a tiny squirrel, I snag all the wee branches left to sit there in the rain. I rescue these twigs in a way, from a life of joining the garbage pit of doom.

Moose Project cares for all those unwanted twigs, and brings them a new life. One filled with people like you and I ooing and ahhhing.

Here are some snap shots into my life at night.





Oh and a funny one of a moose I made getting free ride from my work horse.. piff.. the debauchery.

Oh Yes!! Go Etsy Shop Go!

Ya, so last night I opened my brand spanking new Etsy Shop! Hooray for me!!!!
haha

I will be adding a draft stopper and a mobile and of course more pillows very shortly...
If you click on the link right there

You'll see my pillows which can be bought using Paypal.

I am assuming everyone will be running to my shop to buy all 3 pillows I have posted..
and well, if not, then just leave me a kind word!
tee hee

have a good day Moose Lovers.

Remember,

Moose Love you, too!

Spending time with moose thoughts.

I've been sewing and stitching alot and it's been good. Wil is gone this week-end so I get the place to myself, which is also good. I get to dance around and sew until 4am.

Me and Heidi are going to a church sale this afternoon, I'm mostly checking for fun detail stuff and maybe a winter coat. BRRRRR it's cold out.. Winter is definitely on it's way. 

This week is my last week of work at the office. I'm pretty pumped to be working on MOOSE PROJECT full time!!!! My hands will be a wreck and my heart will be warm. I'm really nervous when it comes to peoples reactions to my work.. Telling people at the bar last night that I am quitting my job for MOOSE PROJECT was a bit tense. They gave me a "are you serious" look. Meh... I know I can try to do it. And I know someone out there will see how much love, time and thought is put into each piece I create. 

My next moose will be farting hearts. It's gonna be awesome! haha

Thanks for reading. 

FABRICS ARE IN!

I experienced the  sheer excitement of opening my box from reprodepot tonight. YAY! So many colours and shapes to play with. I have 3 pillows and moose project decals in mind already. 

I've worked really hard and finally finished my stitching of a moose and a tree. These pieces will be turned into pillows. For now, I am sharing images of what you get when I pull off hours of stitching. 

Enjoy the images and feel free to throw any feed back my way! I'd love to hear from you.

MOOSE PROJECT - Sneak peaks

I've been hard at work in my teeny studio today. The sun was shining and I thought, "what a great opportunity to take pictures of what I am working on. Here is a glimpse of some vintage fabrics I have been working with. 

Yesterday was filled with a grandiose breakfast and thrift store shopping with Heidi from home baked. I found this beautiful horse standing there alone in the electronics department. Heidi and I discussed whe

ther or not I really needed such a thing. But it was just so fun, I couldn't leave it behind. Now it keeps me company while I stitch away at my pillows.

MOOSE PROJECT - day 1

Deciding to stop working in the apparel wholesale distribution industry is a easy step. No longer can I face my reflection everyday knowing I am participating in something that is unethical. Sweat shops and cheap labour are not a good fit with my self esteem, pride or business ethic. Seeing as our society  chooses on a daily basis to contribute to this industry I have no choice but to stop feeding the beast, or at least choosing not to make it a career choice.

Moose project is a dream, one I've chosen to make a reality. My heritage is one of a long line of women who have made hand crafted creations. They put love and affection in all things made for family and friends. Craft rooms have been essential parts of homes. 

My mother used to wood work and paint, finishing with jewellery. She would drag me along as a child to craft fairs held in church basements  and arena's. 

I am taking my memories and turning them into my own business.  I want to live a life I take pride in and make things for people who will love them.  Introducing MOOSE PROJECT. Keep a close eye. New creations will be offered fresh from my studio located in Montreal, Quebec.

MOOSE PROJECT: ATTACK THE WORLD.
