OOoOoooh The Guilt

12 May 2013 | Other RSS posts by

I had some free time on Saturday since the craft fair was blown off the planet.  I decided to take on some guilt that I had been sitting on for a while.  About two years ago we had our house on the market.  It didn't sell but we dusted and cleaned it relentlessly all that time.  That was when we started using Swiffer Dusters.  I am not a fan of disposable cleaning supplies but the Swiffers work really well.  We kept on using them even after we took the house

Blown Out

Well, I had hoped to share pictures of our awesome both set up at Elver Park for the Fresh Air Craft Fair today.  But we got blown out.  Literally.  The vendor agreement said that the fair would go ahead rain or shine; it did not say that it would go ahead with crazy, gusty winds.


So here's our booth part way through being taken down.  That's when I remembered

Time For A Little Goofing Off

No, I'm not showing off my neon pedicure....actually, I am.  Isn't it cute?

Also, I'm showing off these tee-shirt bracelets.  I'm hoping to sell some on Saturday at the Open Air Craft Fair in Elver Park.  I've been pricing and inventory-ing all morning so it's time for a little goofing off.

Getting My Act Together and Taking It On The Road!!!!!!!!

So, this will seem pretty random but when I was in college, I had to bring in a song to learn for Musical Theatre class.  I knew nothing about sheet music or what to pick so I asked the guy at the shop to pick for me.  I don't remember which song he picked but it was from the musical "I'm Getting My Act Together and Taking it on the Road".  I think the reason I don't remember the name of the song is that I never sang it.  My teacher said he didn't want to

Chaos Slowly Becoming Order

Check out that crazy mess.  I've been collecting Mail Art supplies for months.  I knew one day there would be a reckoning.  One day, I would have to organize them all.  
Yesterday was my day of reckoning.


This picture was taken at about the halfway point.  And this is only the stuff that made it to the table.  I'm not a natural organizer and often will ask

Quilts Up!

Last night I joined my Modern Quilt Guild at the Alicia Ashman Library to help put up our first annual quilt show!  It was a blast.  I use the term "help" for what I did loosely because my feet were having a bad day, but I did offer some moral support.

Check out the picture on the ad, it's of one of mine.  :)

I Know Better Now

Why?  Why are there velvet track suits for grown ups?  I'll never understand.
I do like their jewel tone colors, though.  


If I could just separate that from the fact that some people think they should be worn.



I had a plan for these that also found a use

Big News + shiny stuff

I've been pretty busy making stuff for our craft show on May 11th. (pssst..check out the links above this post) I haven't done a craft show in years and I'm super excited about this one because it's sort of the kick off event for my friend, Jennifer, and I.  

Drumroll please......
We are starting a business.  Woohoo!!!  

We will sell crafts, craft making materials (including some of the obscure, vintage-y, remake-y stuff we both love so much) teach crafts and help people get in touch with their

Hold me! I’m Scared!

Just a quickie.  This is my Grandfather's sweater.  It has holes.  I've been wearing it since the early 80's but less lately because I'm afraid of making them worse.


 Also, I haven't washed it in forever and a day.  A coupe of years ago I sewed the holes up with thread but I didn't like it.
