New Post for a New Year

I know I've been a bit absent (again!), but I thought I might stop in and say hi.

Notes on the past month or so:

1. The Fancy Tiger Holiday Handmade craft fair was AWESOME. I did better that I thought I would, selling most of my wallets, button earrings, pouches, and wristlets. I also got some cool new stuff for myself, trade style or through cash transactions. My verdict on craft fairs: I need to get in on more of those!

2. I got a flier for the Denver Handmade Alliance craft swap at the fair, and I was super dooper excited about it. Of course, it was the night before I had to get up early and fly to Eastern SD for a wedding, but I'm so glad I went. I met some cool people and scored some very cool handmade items. Pictures are coming, I promise!

3. I left Felix at home with Chainsaw to go be a bridesmaid for the first time in my friend Katie's wedding. I have to admit that getting away from home and the responsibilities that come with it felt pretty good. Katie and Rob started dating at pretty much the same time I started dating Chainsaw, and I was super excited to be part of the joining of their spirits.

4. Christmas was good. We didn't get to go home at our scheduled time due to blizzard induced house arrest, but it was a good excuse to wear jambles all day and watch silly movies on tv.

5. New Year's was also good. I had tons of fun going out in Boulder with Chainsaw, Laura, and Jeff. We celebrated 2009 with $3 car bombs and $1.50 well drinks.







I got a new little camera for Christmas from my mom, so expect more pictures in the future. I should get back to crafting here shortly, as most of my stock is cleaned right out from the fair and the swap. I'm excited to start creating in 2010!

Happy New Year!

I hope everyone out there had a great holiday! We spent a week in South Dakota, feasting, giving, and receiving. I think the camera is still out in the car (I hope anyway!), so I don't have any pictures presently, but I will soon.

My gifts were well received, which was exciting for me as almost all of them were handmade by me. Grandma liked her tea mug pouch so much that she practically bought out my store! I went from 12 items for sale to 6 (I should have made her open an account and buy them from my store, but it was easier to just delete them.). I used that as a good excuse to buy some new fabric and get to work!

Unfortunately I haven't gotten on top of the work part yet, but I will as soon as I find the motivation to clean the table off.

Anywho, if I don't catch you before midnight, HAPPY NEW YEAR! We'll be hanging out at home like a coupla boring kids. I'll catch you on the flip side with pictures and upcoming projects.

Love!

Oops, I lied. Here are a few remarkably crappy shots of some things Grandma took off my hands. I didn't have a chance to get any good pictures as it was dark and we were packing up to head out to the hills.



Appliqued flying V! It turned out fabulous, if I do say so myself!



Wristlet made from an old hand made wool dress. I loved the dress, but it fit me horribly and had some holes in it.
