A lovely day for a show!

It was a blustery weekend! Good thing we were at a lovely indoor show at the Butte des Mortes Country Club. It was hosted by the lovely Sandra Began...here is a photo of the set-up for this year.

Although this post is short, I have to go.....there is a group of kids over all playing dress up & I think it's about to get CRAZY!!! There are fairies, princesses and a dragon and Harry Potter.

Great Show - this weekend!!!

Stamping Workshop This Weekend!

I will be at the Glitter Workshop (Mineral Point Rd)in Madison this Saturday from 10-1 hosting a hand stamped jewelry workshop. You can come in & make something for Mother's Day, a special graduation gift or a great gift for yourself. I will have TWO stamping stations going so it should be great. I also have a new set of letter stamps and new bracelets too.

It will be a drop by kind of day so stop in whenever works for you - no need to register.

See you then

My Next Show

I will be at the Luck of the Craft Trunkshow at The GlitterWorkshop in Madison.

It will be on Saturday March 5th. There will be 5 other talented ladies there too showing their wares. The store will also be packed with handmade & vintage goodness as always.

I'll have a HUGE selection of girls skirts, hand stamped jewelry, hair accessories and some great new purses - wait - did you say purses? Yes, I sure did. I have been in a funk lately with sewing so I decided that I NEEDED to make something different & new. And I am having so much fun making them. Stop by and see the new goodies.

Hand Stamped Jewelry Workshop

Tomorrow I will be at the Glitter Workshop in Madison. You can stop in anytime from 12-3 and make your own pendant ($9) hemp or faux suede style bracelet ($8) or key chain ($8).

They would make a great Valentine's Day gift too!

Stop by~

Stamping Workshop!

The Holiday Craft Lounge was this past weekend & it was great. It was a craft show like no other I have been to. Here people weren't just selling their wares, but many also had a project to do while you were there or a fun take home kit. Projects ranged from making paper wreaths, sock monkeys, making a paper ornament, assembling your own enamel earrings (I am wearing a pair right now) and other goodies. I had a stamp your own ornament/bracelet station. I wasn't sure how it would turn out going into it, but it was a blast! People really seemed to have fun creating their own unique gift.

After I got home on Saturday I had emails from people saying what a nice time they had.....I also received an interesting email from Laura at Anthology (the hosts of the show) asking if I would come to their shop & host a little workshop any time in the near future.....so I will be at Anthology 218 State Street Madison WI this Saturday from 12-3 for a stamp your own ornament workshop!

Come down & make your own piece of hand stamped goodness!

Hope to see you there.

Sigma Show Tomorrow!

So tomorrow I will be at the Sigma Holiday House Show in Fond du Lac.

The show runs from 9-3 and is at the Fond du Lac County Fairgrounds. There will be over 60 vendors there, live music, delish bakery & lunch and will also have a silent auction!

This will be my last show in the area before Christmas (the rest are all in Madison), so stop down & see the new goodies. I'll have hats, headbands, stylin' onesies, hand stamped bracelets & pendants as well as my new ornaments.

The Show....

So, the Holiday Preview Show was this past weekend. I had a blast! Sold some goodies, bought some goodies & made a new friend! A successful weekend for sure.

Here is a pic of the display. I have to say it did look better in person! But I was happy with the way it turned out. I have a few orders I am finishing up from the show and then on to restocking the shops I consign in.

The big sellers for the weekend were hats and headbands.

Where does the time go?

Ugh - do you ever just feel like the days are just melting by? I have had that feeling a lot lately. There were grand visions of craft projects to be done, pies to be made, Princess costumes to be sewn, bulbs to be planted, pumpkins to be carved and construction to be rolling along........I am sad to report that we are officially behind schedule. But it seems that is the way it goes sometimes.

I have a big (well okay - hopefully big) show this weekend and I only have 3 days to finish getting prepared. I have a bit of everything to work on for it, so it always feels like nothing is getting accomplished. Sigh......

Well, enough of my pity-party, I have too much to do! Wish me luck!

ps- I have no idea where this pic is from, but isn't it just cute? I can just picture the girls doing this.

Holiday Preview Show Coming Up!

It is just about time for Sandra Began's Holiday Preview Show.......Yippee! There are amazing goodie bags for the first 100 customers each day and there are great local artisans/crafters as well as local small businesses there.

I was at the show last year as well and had a great time. Hope to see you there!

There is an admission charge ($10 ahead, $15 at the door) and all of the money is donated to local charities.

Hope to see you there!

New cuff bracelets

So I have been working on new cuff bracelets & I just love them! I have them in silver tone (aluminum) and in copper too. They will be making their debut at the Craftacular this coming Saturday. Hope to see you there.

~*~Spring Fling Craftacular~*~

I have GREAT news!

There is going to be a Spring Craftacular in Madison! Oh happy day.

It will be Saturday April 24th, 10-4 at the High Noon in Madison.

I am so very excited to be there this spring. I am working on new cuff bracelets (they are BEAUTIFUL!) and about a million headbands including a new style. I hope to see you there. If you would like to help sponsor the event & have your info on all the goodies & ads thru Madison or would like more details see here: www.glitterworkshop.com

Booth Set Up

So I had a large space at the show this weekend......it came with lights & a table - so I didn't have to lug mine own in! Yippee!! So here is my sprawled out space....I think the show went pretty well. The bookmarks did well, but I was surprised the initial pendants didn't - you just never know. As you can see the show was at a bar - it sounds crazy I know - but it is a great one...the bar is nice & clean & open....they serve food & drinks during the show so people come & stay for quite a while.....

Have a great night everyone.

I will have an apron tutorial to show you soon - the apron is made, the photos are taken I just need to sit down & type up the how-tos...

Ugh, the flu

Well, the show was great -thank you all who came down & to Naomi & family for hosting such a fine event. I got my self a new photo for my sewing area, a cookbook (more recipes to try!) and a skirt - yes you heard me a skirt.....

On my drive home I got a call from my husband that he was throwing up. I have never seen the man so sick. By midnight I was also throwing up a storm......Sunday was a rough one, luckily my mom came & got the girls so we didn't get them sick too. I am home from work today feeling like I got hit by a truck.

My goal today is to disinfect our home!

Have a great Monday

Craftacular

So, the Craftacular is a few short days away......here is the shows site with directions and links to the vendors.

www.craftacular.glitterworkshop.com

There are amazing gift-bags going out to the first 25 people - with hair clips, earring, treats and other goodies donated by the artists & the local community.

I hope to see you there. I will have my classic goods such as - fabric headbands, little onesies and handstamped jewelry and will also have new hair clips & rings, skinny headbands, new stamped bracelets & pendant style and book marks.

Fun New Project- Book Marks!

So I have been trying to make new projects lately - expand myself a bit......anyways I had wanted to make cute bookmarks - so here they are! Technically they are "book thongs". They have waxed cotton cording so they don't slip out of the book and each has a fun handstamped piece on it as well as glass beads. They will be making their debut at the Craftacular which is just 1 short week away........ They would make great little Valentine gifts for any reader - maybe with a gift card for the bookstore??
