I recently came across fluid bears on social media, and it looked like such a fun and unique…read moreactivity. My friend and I booked through an Instagram direct message and went during their "buy one, get one free" promotion for the fluid bear. The bears come in many sizes, and prices increase accordingly (keychain $22, 7" $58, 9" $68, 13" $108, 21" $168, 1 mini bear and canvas $38, and 2 mini bears and canvas $48). On the website, it also lists how long each project is expected to take. They also have pom-pom canvases and bags. The pom-pom canvases are: 8 x 8" $58, 12 x 12" $68, 18" x 18" $88, 18" x 23" $108, 23" x 23" $168, and 40" x 40" $328. The pom-pom bags are: A4 $88, A3 $108, and B5 $68. When we arrived and checked in for our reservation, an employee showed us the different-sized bears, and there were even some that were sitting or leaning back in addition to the standing ones. He gave us some time to decide, and then we also chose paint colours. We weren't sure what colours we wanted, so he showed us photos of previous customers' projects. We were set up at a table with aprons, our chosen paint colours, our bear on a tray, and even given a hair tie if we didn't have one with us to keep our hair out of the way. The employee showed us how to pour and mix our different paint colours and then pour them on our bears. The first pour was definitely the best one for me. The colours and patterns were astounding. Sometimes the paint doesn't completely cover the bear as it drips down, so they provide a plastic spoon to fill in those spots. The last thing before paying was deciding whether or not we wanted the bears to have a matte or gloss finish. Also, there's no tax if you pay in cash. We were informed that our bears would be ready for pickup in two to three days, and I did get a text informing me that our bears were ready within two days. I wasn't sure how to transport my finished bear home. It turns out that they put them in a case for you.   Overall, my friend and I really enjoyed our fluid bear experience. instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whitebear_trt/ website: https://www.whitebeardiy.com/

You can decorate a variety of things from phone cases, jewelry boxes to photo frames and mirrors with different silicone whipped cream and cute charms. Reservations are recommended, they get busy with birthday groups and parties on the weekend. The whole experience takes a bit over 2 hoirs depending on what you decorate and prices start from $30+. Lots of charms to choose from and you can bring your own. The staff wad helpful in every step to help teach you how to use the piping bags to decoration ideas. One downside was we were not sure how staff kept track of the cost of our charms after we placed them in our basket. The charm prices are based on size and start from 50 cents to above $5, there are some free items as well. They also offer other art diy activities.

THe ladies are quite friendly and there is actually a kitting guild at the same place. but, I never join their Snb, it should be quite good. One thing I don't like is: they have a cat there! It's a bit "smelly" inside the store.. not sure if you can find the hair of the cat, if you are allergic to cat, better don't go! Price is a bit higher than the other local yarn stores, so, I didn't buy much from them, unless I couldn't find such yarn in other stores. They do have a special discount section at the back of the store, it's worth to go and check them out. It's really a good deal! I bought some JOY yarn over there with very good deal! They have lots of magazine back issues, it's great to check them out. However, they don't have many pattern books, and not very updated too. They have lots of buttons selection, so, it's great to buy them at the same time if you are going to knit a cardigan!

I considered it a treat going there. Linda is not only amazingly talented she is incredibly helpful. I tell her what I want and she puts the package together without me even having to think. lol. At first I was heartbroken when I learnt she was moving her store to Orangeville but now it is even a bigger treat to go to see her at her store. I am so happy for Linda and her new digs. She still puts everything together for me,knows my taste and lets me know when a yarn she knows I will love comes in. Now my biggest fear is if she ever retires. Anyone who knits or crochets and hasn't been to Linda's is definitely missing out! She has a better stock and is far friendlier than the stores I have checked out in Toronto! DON'T MISS OUT!

The place is clean and has a cozy environment... they even have snacks at the front that you can purchase, but my friend and I brought bubble tea back to sip on while we worked and they were fine with that.
