first wholly craft: complete

First and last, unfortunately. Wholly Craft! of Columbus, OH sent us a cease and desist order for future shows, apparently we were tarnishing their good name. ;) Besides that itsy bitsy snafu, we all had a great time visiting with the super nice people of Springfield, and sharing our wares. So, it's not that it won't happen again, it will just be happening under a much different name!

Here was my table...


and I'm swiping these two pics from Whitney's facebook...






Whitney and Sarah of Scissor Scouts.



Elsie's cutie pie table.



New friend Rowena and her beautiful brooches made from Spoonflower fabrics she designed herself. So cool! I was happy to see the quality of the fabric up close finally, it's gorgeous.


My friends Jenna and Ellen, hmm hopefully one of them will have a blog or etsy I can link to soon. I was kind of drooling over Ellen's Liberty of London fabrics, haha!

Annnnd...






lots more! Whew!

I'm working on getting my left-overs photographed for etsy :) so I'll let you know when the store is finally stocked with handmade goodies.

oh what a beautiful...

...craft show day!
Well, here's hoping. So far, I love today. Woke up early, had a great shower (I love changing up shampoo, don't you? new smells are so exciting!), ate eggs and toast on my back porch, vowed to finish my new business card layout before noon, and then magically did!



What do you think? The ones I'm printing out at home on cardstock are looking pretty weak, but I'm hoping it's just my cheap printer. I'll use these for the show today and tomorrow, and then get some real cards ordered online. [Psst, if you get a card from me at the show, remember, it's just a prototype! Email me with your address and I will totally mail you a "real" replacement once I get them!]

Any changes you would suggest? Of course I have it saved as a photoshop file so any minor tweaks would be easy. Unless your suggestion is "change everything" and in that case...keep it to yourself! Hah!

Left to do today:
cut out cards
finish sewing (eep!)
finish pricing/tagging
pretty myself up
help set up at the Moxie
set up my own stuff

Whewwww. xoxo

yikes!

Hi! I haven't been by in a while. I'm bad, bad, bad!

So many wonderful things have been happening in the meantime. I spent a couple days back at my old job helping out, which was a nice change of pace, and I loved seeing my coworkers and customers again. :) Then, my very best bestest friend from high school texted me Monday night to say he'd be driving through my town on his epic road trip Tuesday morning! We had super-early breakfast and then he crashed at my house (after being up for 23 hours!) while I went to work for the day. Then we spent the evening catching up, listening to Mark's band practice, and having some pizza and drinks on my back porch before he had to head off again. What a perfect day.

Now I'm pretty frantically trying to get ready for the craft show tomorrow!


Facebook event.
Website.

If you are in the area I would love if you'd come visit! You don't have to buy anything, you should at least check out a screening of Handmade Nation, ya know? ;)

Oh, and totally doofy picture of me, but...new favorite dress!!



Haven't had one of those for a little while.

wholly craft! it IS spring!

Okay, so, it's probably safe now to mention that for the past couple weeks I have been working on a super special secret project that I loved....RVA's Spring clothing line! (ps if you're visiting from Elsie's blog, hiiii! come on in!)

I was thrilled to be working on such cute stuff. I more or less just consider myself the girl behind the sewing machine, but working with Elsie is so so fun, she really let me experiment and incorporate my ideas in to several of the pieces. I'm so anxious to see the collection released on RVA next week, I hope you are too!

So, what's next?



Oh only Springfield's first ever (that I know of) indie craft show, being put on by two of my favorite ladies, and being hosted by my favorite indie theater!

It's a ways off, but I'm known to let time catch up with me. Work starts tomorrow (once I get the Bernina set up!) for the show. It's going to be gooooood!
