And speaking of expressing yourself, Maker Faire Vancouver is coming in June. Come out for an info session to see what it's all about.

Turn on your heart light, Vancouver. Eschew store-bought Valentine's platitudes this year and express yourself... yourself!

Plush on Main, that delightful wee storefront featuring locally handmade wares, has a lovely workroom in back. Pop in there anytime between noon and 5PM this Saturday, February 12th, have a seat for a while, and whip up one of two Valentine's Day craft kits they'll have on hand. Make a linen heart garland from Needle and Nail, or a needle-felted heart from Blushing Lotus Designs (pictured).

Since it's a casual drop-in and not a formal class, the cost of participating is only the cost of the kit, ranging from $14.95-$19.95.

Sign up for Plush's newsletter to keep up on all their DIY or Die workshop and drop-in sessions.

Also on Saturday, and unrelated to Valentine's Day, Maker Faire Vancouver is having an open information session from 1-6PM at Vancouver Community Lab (Great Northern Way Campus). Maker Faire is like a giant two-day DIY, maker, crafter, tinkerer festival (check out this video to learn more). This is the first time one will be held in Vancouver – June 25-26th. Drop by the info session to learn more about the event, to find out about participating as a maker, and to pick up an application (they'll also be online soon).
