Indie Craft Show


All in all, I had a successful day Saturday at the Cowtown Indie Bazaar.  These pictures were taken the night before, and now I'm wishing that I had taken a few on Saturday because you could have seen some of the other vendors in the background.  Here is a link to the Flickr pictures if you care to take a look at what other vendors were selling.  I have to say, it was a very talented group of people.   It was really nice to be at a show where everything was 100% Handmade, and 100% Indie.
Thank you to everyone that came out to support me and the rest of my Etsy Fort Worth group.  Mark your calendars for the March 19, 2011 Spring show!

Vintage PUmpKins straight to you........

Straight from the chaotic sewing room of Whoopsie Daisies, come the retro-hippy vintage-y funkilious pumpkins.  Can you Dig It Man?


Remember the ugly-dugly fabric I snagged in Indiana?  Perfect for fall pumpkins!  (It was dated 1974 by the way).  At least in my opinion that is.  I realize that this fabric is not for everyone.  Personally, I love it, but my house, though I'd love it to be, just isn't retro-cool.  Cookie cutter suburban house doesn't equal retro-chic.  I'll probably keep one or two in the hopes of finding someplace to display them though.
I went out yesterday after Coffee-Talk with some Fort Worth Etsy folks, and hit a local thrift store in hopes of find more previously loved threads to sew with, but no luck.  Sometimes you hit the jackpot, and most of the time....Well....you don't.  But the hunt continues.......

Did I mention that I'll be at the Fort Worth Cowtown Indie Bazaar on Saturday, September 4th????  Come by and say HI if you're in the area!  Loads of really talented vendors will be on hand (over 80!) - and....it's alllllll  handcrafted!  No made in China here ladies and gentlemen!  Come support Handmade - and listen to some live Music by Titan Moon, Shop till you Drop, Free Photo Booth, Enjoy Refreshments, bring the kiddies along and put your own Creative Talents to use at the free Make and Take Table, and Free Goody Bags to the first 50 Customers!  100% Indie, 100% Handmade!

Catch you On the FLiP SiDe!  I'm Outta Here.......

Scribble, Sketch, and Draw on the Go!








We attended a total of 5 parties last weekend, 3 of which were child's birthday parties.  One was for a sweet little Four year old boy - which as you might guess, is more difficult for me to sew a gift for - and two of the other parties were for 3 little girls.  (One party was a Wedding Reception - so that doesn't count, oh and one was a fun end of summer ice cream party) - keeping up with the math here?  One party was for (four? no... "for") Two girls - one that was Seven, and one that turned Four.
And, I wonder why my brain feels like scrambled eggs sometimes.
OK - so basically, I had 3 little girls that I needed gifts for (not "four"), one little boy, and two parties that don't count in the gifts equation.  I'll stop that now.
And - I had these tablets of paper and colored pencils - so, I whipped up these little Vintagey-Travel Pencil Art Pouch/Cases thingys.  (Still working on the name, here).
Actually - these were the 3 extra that I made, because, did I mention that I'll be at the Cowtown Indie Bazaar on September, 4th?  (Which is also going to be my 39 birthday - ugh!  Can't believe I admitted to that.  Really, it really will be "39".  Trust me, if it's not 39, then I would've told you "29"!  I'm still coming to terms with the whole 30's going into 40's issue.  I know age is just a number, I know, I know - but jeez, .......feels like I just graduated from kindergarten.  Not really, but you know what I mean - more on that topic later, I'm sure!)
So, anywhoo - basically, I'm sewing LIKE CRAZY!  and, I'm still worried about not having enough products to fill my 10x10 booth - but it won't be for lack of trying!
I've got some cutesy Retro Cool Hot Pads to show you all, several funky vintagey- aprons, fabric flower pins, hippie fun retro button headbands, oooooh.....all sorts of things!
These little travel art kits are also available on my Etsy site.

See you all later!  I've got to run...... my boy is rummaging through my bathroom drawers, and that's never a good thing.
