Old Things

I did a little redesign, that counts as crafting, right? I think the bright colors are a little more me, not that I’m particularly bright but I’m certainly loud and I demand lots of attention. ;) The header is a segment of this picture, my first attempt at teaching myself to treble crochet and some snazzy buttons. I’m rather in love with that absurd shade of citron.

Since fiddling with colors took up much of my morning (along with laying around in bed and checking my e-mail), I thought I’d post some older pictures. These were my first professionally done pictures, I got them in trade at Craft Attack. These were shot by Danielle Anthony who, in addition to being talented, is a total pleasure to work with.


My First Craft Show

Craft Attack Carolina was this Saturday, my very first craft show. While I didn’t make as much as I would have liked, the great reactions I got totally make up for it. I got a lot of smiles and a lot of really great compliments, like a really sweet girl named Brooke who wanted to take a picture of my booth and the little boy who got one of my monsters and waved everytime he went by. I also want to say thanks to Christina Wooke and Fuzzy Ink, who were sweet enough to trade with me.


Still Prepping

I’m scrambling to get things finished up for Craft Attack on Saturday. I foolishly decided it would be a great idea to make some little pouches with buttons. (One of the things I adore about my sewing machine is that it makes buttonholes insanely easy.) They’re all cut out and sewn, and some are already topstitched and have their buttonholes sewn. I’ll just have to find some cute buttons to stitch on. (Luckily they’re on sale at work.) I’ll hopefully post some pictures tomorrow. So many little things to do!

Ugh, I’m really sort of awful at this. Almost two months since an update! This is why I was reluctant to start a blog in the first place.
Craft Attack is in less than two weeks and I’m a mix of super excited and nervous! I’ve made a few signs and need to make a few more, as well as some business cards. All the individual items need to priced too. I have a pop up shelter and pretty much all my decorations and displays ready to go. I’ve been working on some last minute items (aprons and pillow covers). Hopefully I can get some pictures of those posted tomorrow.
