Christmas Craftacular

Woohoo! It's over! But what a blast I had. The venue was absolutely beautiful, large and roomy with great lighting. I met some really great artists, exchanged wares, made sales, and made great connections! My husband was the best help I could have asked for. He helped with everything from stamping my tags, poking holes in the paper, to making sandwiches for us the day of the event. He also sat by my side and gave me great moral support almost the entire time. He deserves a huge thank you. I will definitely be doing more of these in the near future (even though I was utterly exhausted by the end of the day!)

Halloween, craft fairs and a new painting

Hello all, sorry it as been awhile since I rapped at ya (I sound like Jim Anchower from The Onion, for those familiar) I have been super busy getting books and paintings ready for the upcoming craft fair that I am going to be in. It is my first and I am super excited! This past summer I blogged about the Summer Craftacular where I posted some images of local Etsy artist's ware (read about it here). Well now I get to be a part of it!!! I have been waiting since I heard about the fair to be a vendor and if it goes well I am going to start to apply to summer craft fairs.

Anyway here is the link to the fair, and if you live in the area I would love it if you stopped by and said howdy or aloha or ni hao or maybe just hi :)

I also wanted to post some pictures of Maya from Halloween. I was pretty proud of how well her costume came out. It was my first time sewing an outfit on my machine and now I am definitely addicted! She decided to be a princess this year (really she wanted to be a Pikachu but I could not find her that costume, so she went with her second choice) and she picked out the fabric and I got to work. In the end there were a few mistakes but all in all I was pretty happy.






Doesn't she look lovely?


And here is a new painting that sold as a print in my shop :)
