rocking the stitch

In my humble opinion, the first-ever Stitch Rock was a great success, not to mention lots of fun. The lovely miss Amanda & crew outdid themselves! So many creative & talented vendors...such a cool venue...I really enjoyed myself. I'm already looking forward to next year!


My mannequins did great in their big debut! (That's my wonderful hubby...on the phone...could've asked him to get out of the shot, I guess.)




My sis-in-law made me this rad owl softie for my bday...it makes the cutest card holder!


My super-sweet notecard/book rack that I got for $2! (I think next time I won't put it on the table, though, cause folks couldn't see the cards in the top rack....)


Cowboy pillowcase dress being modeled in the fashion show (fantastically coordinated by talented fashion designer Adrianne Ruffin).

Good times, good times. I'm super-grateful to my hubby for all his help & support not only during the day of the show, but the crazy week leading up to it. You're the best, Ben!

a day late & a dollar short.

I had every intention of posting this to Littleput Books' Studio Shot Tuesdays Flickr group, but time got away from me, & it was Wednesday before I knew it. Since this doesn't really show my studio anyway, I figured I'd just post it here & talk about what I've been up to. Studio pics next week, I promise!! (Oooh, maybe I'll actually paint my studio this weekend so it'll be all pretty by Tuesday....)

Anywho, what you see in that picture up there is just a sampling of the 100 postcard/coupons I made & shipped off this week. They'll go in swag bags to be given to the 1st 100 comers at Stitch Rock (Oct. 6 in DelRay Beach)! I've been crafting like crazy to get ready for it...it's gonna be my biggest craft show yet & I'm super excited. So my little postcards feature some vintage stationery that I scanned & printed. You can mail it as a postcard but if you bring it to my booth at the event, it's a 20% off coupon too! I also stuck in some of my new stickers for the goody bags.
