Christmas Owls

I scored these adorable vintage owl figurines at the thrift store yesterday. Aren't they sweet?

I also spent literally an hour cleaning two gocco screens last night (it's tough when you let them sit in the fridge too long, ugh) and printed a small batch of cupcake onesies and a small batch of owl onesies. This weekend and early next week I plan to print tote bags, bibs and possibly new shirts. Then I will be all gocco-d out and ready to send some items off to consignment shops and hopefully be closer to being ready for upcoming shows.

That's the plan. I'm sticking to it.

Have a lovely weekend everyone!

craft shows + cuteness

I have to share the illustration Chad made for the Holiday Craftacular coming up in Madison in December. The full poster will be printed soon after we finish a few details and get it off to Naomi but I thought it was about time to share the cuteness.















If you are around Madison and are still thinking about applying for the Craftacular there is still time! Just click here and apply by Friday 10/17.

And if you're part of the Wisconsin Etsy Street team there is still time to apply for the trunk show at Lazy Jane's on December 13. The deadline is coming up quickly (October 20) so GO HERE for details now!

I'M TOTALLY INTO_______RIGHT NOW

It's been a crazy week!

Geek.kon was fun but super exhausting. I was definitely ready to come home and relax on Sunday! I am working on a lot of random projects this week and trying to get enough inventory ready for the two shows in MN next weekend. Of course my kids have not been in the mood to play quietly while mommy gets stuff done in the evenings! Chad started a part time job and so far it's been totally fine. We still have a few nights a week together and they are being super flexible when he needs weekends off for shows.

Jette has been totally into hats this week. When she doesn't have a hat to wear she is totally whining MY HAAAT!






















It's so annoying and cute. You know, like cute little kid annoying. :)

And then there is this:













































These totes are the new item that I was super excited about last week! I gocco printed the text and the idea is that you can change out a text button (BIG 3" buttons!) whenever you feel like it. I'm going to be selling packs of buttons in sets of 5 - right now the only listing I have is for a CUSTOM set but I plan to put together fun themed packs. New phrases coming soon! You can look at the bags more closely HERE in my etsy shop.

Also I have to tell you that the 'gnomes' pin was a huge hit at geek.kon. I never knew that gnomes had such wide appeal!

Have a lovely day!

cuteness overload

Chad ordered the most adorable plushies from bubbletime's etsy shop. One for Lars, one for Jette. Thank goodness for that - no fights so far. The fluffcrobes are super soft and sooo painfully cute. Love love love them. Thank you, bubbletime!

I want to try to take the kids to a movie tonight. They are 2 and 3 years old and we have NEVER tried going to a movie besides the drive-in. I think that Lars will do fine, he likes watching movies and can stay interested for quite awhile. Jette I am not so sure about…she pretty much never watches T.V. except for an occasional few minutes of Arthur. But I think that if we give her some yummy theater treats and go kind of late she'll maybe just snack and then fall alseep. Maybe. Ha! Any toddler movie tips??? Wish me luck!
