Happy 4th! I hope you are enjoying the day off! It's cloudy here, and promising rain and possibly thunderstorms, so I don't think there'll be much of a chance to see fireworks tonight. But I am having a nice day inside just the same.
I've been sewing up some new birds and listing a few things as well. In
my shop I have added three little strawberries and a grey and blue
bird.
My next official shop update will be either Thursday or Friday. Check
back here early next week for the specific time. Have a great weekend!!
But, I guess I was wrong. I had this whole blog post planned out for tonight, with lots of pictures and stories about my weekend, and my next shop update, but TypePad is NOT cooperating tonight (!), and I am giving up. I never had any trouble with TypePad until they tried to make their site "better" and changed everything. It is definitely not better. This is the only picture I could get to load, and, while it is cute, it is completely out of context now.
I need to walk away from this tonight, but I will be back tomorrow to try again. I am planning on making a shop post tomorrow afternoon as well, with around six or seven new animals. If I can, I will have pictures of the animals on here early in the day tomorrow, and my shop post will be at 4pm EST. If you come back here and I haven't been able to get any photos loaded, please check my flickr. I'll be uploading lots of new photos there tonight.
Good night!
Hello! Wow, this weekend was like a whirlwind! Justin and I stayed up pressing and packaging buttons and magnets in the studio Thursday night all the way until six am on Friday, got in a few hours of sleep (three, to be precise), and then packed everything into my little car to drive down to New York. Once in the city, we had to find our way to the Etsy Labs, so some Fern Animals and I could have our photo taken together (thanks for the invite Anda!). Getting there was a little messy, but we made it in one piece! It was great to get to stand in the Etsy Labs, where all the magic happens!
I felt extremely lucky to have sides on my tent! When it became apparent that the storm wouldn't pass, we packed up our goods and headed out for the night.
Sunday started out a bit cloudy and rainy, too, but by the afternoon, it was beautiful: sunny and warm, and a bit breezy. I was able to sew up a few more animals at my table, but it still looked a little bare all day!
Now, I have about fourteen animals left (I haven't actually counted them, that's a guess), which I think is a good start for the Boston Handmade Marketplace that will be coming up in a couple weeks. Tomorrow I am going to get back to sewing, and I will be listing a few of these little ones from Renegade in My Etsy shop. I'll be putting them up at 2pm est, along with some note card sets, and buttons and magnets.
If you'd like to see more photos from the Renegade Craft Fair, please visit my Flickr. I think maybe I have gone on about the craft fair enough for tonight. Maybe I will remember some things I wanted to mention tomorrow. Hope to see you in my shop! Good Night!
One week until Renegade! Yikes! I have been sewing as much as possible, and am not even close to being done yet. I think I have only about twenty five animals fully completed, and about ten others in various stages of being finished. Last year I brought around seventy five animals to Brooklyn with me, but that's just not going to happen this year! Oh well... I have been planning out my display in my head for weeks, and hopefully this weekend I will have a chance to do a practice set up. Then I'll have to package up my new card sets, press some buttons and magnets, and make some table signs. Plus more sewing, of course. So much to do, so little time! Always!
