Look out, here we come!

Thanks to everyone who came out last weekend to the Indie Craft Experience in Atlanta! It was a whole lot of fun, and I had a really great time. If you were there, I hope you did, too!

Next on the agenda is the Renegade Craft Fair in Brooklyn. Boy oh boy am I excited! I've been sewing up a storm to get ready for this, so I'll have tons of new stuff making its debut in New York. Yay! If you're anywhere near the Big Apple, you really should try to come! And don't forget to swing by my booth to say hello! I'm in booth #94. Here's the scoop:


June 25-26th (That's this weekend, y'all!)
10:30 am until 5 pm
at McCarren Park in Williamsburg, Brooklyn

For maps, a list of vendors, and other tidbits of helpful information, visit: www.renegadecraft.com

For those of you who can't make it out to Renegade, never fear... When I get back from New York, I'll be doing a major shop update, so if you'll just hold on to your hats for just a teeny bit longer, I promise you won’t be disappointed. You'll get to see some of the new goodies, too.

Yikes! Must get back to work... We leave tomorrow!

birthday wish

Happy birthday to me! I took a break from my preparations for Renegade and the Indie Craft Experience to do have a little shin dig at my place on Sunday night to do some early celebrating. It was a lovely time. There was ice cream cake, yummy margaritas, lots of good food, good friends, good times...

Yay for birthdays!

A hard morning's work

I finished these bags this morning before I'd even had my morning coffee. Not bad, if I do say so myself.

Now, if I can do that about 10,000 more times before I leave for Renegade, I'll be in good shape.

Cards and Cakes

I'm working on some cute new animal and sea creature themed stationery for the shop, so keep an eye out for it them soon!

Speaking of stationery, if you've had your eye on any of the cards in the shop right now, you might want to hurry on over and get 'em while you still can. They've been going like hotcakes, and I only have one or two left of each design. Quit your waiting, and get some cards so you can start writing!

Have I mentioned that my birthday is on Tuesday?



I'm definitely excited about my birthday, but I'm even more excited about the ice cream cake that I'm going to have!

Part-time work definitely agrees with me. I took a whole week off from work *and* the computer, and I swear, it was the best thing I've done all year. I got so much business done, which was something I desperately needed to do since ICE and Renegade are quickly approaching. (9 days until ICE! Hooray! And yikes!!)

One of the best things I did was to take a leisurely trip to the farmer's market to browse for homegrown veggies and fresh flowers. I bought these poppies from one of the vendors. Aren't they pretty? They smelled like watermelon. Too bad they only lasted for a day.

Even though I've been back at work for a few days, I'm still not back into the swing of things. I'm still not caught up with my email either. I only have about a zillion more messages to go....
