still time to shop!

Just wanted to post quick to let you know that we have just one more upcoming holiday show on December 12 in Madison but there's still time to shop online in order to receive gifts in time for the holidays!

Our Star Wars magnet and pin sets made from vintage comics have been popular this year and we have lots of other items - mirrors, magnets, clothing in baby through adult sizes and more - that would make unique gifts or stocking stuffers! Please stop by the shop here or click on items below to be directed to our etsy shop. Chad also has some great gift items in his shop including a really awesome LOTR Gandalf gocco print. Check it out!

Thanks to everyone who came out to the Craftacular last weekend! It was a really fantastic show. I spent the day with my fabulous sister-in-law and since it was busy almost the whole day, I really don't know what I would have done without her. Thanks Elizabeth! A big thanks also goes out to Laura and Sachi at Anthology and Naomi and Jerome at Glitter Workshop for organizing this awesome event. What a fun day! And thanks to everyone who stopped by our table to visit! It was great to see some familiar faces and meet lots of new people, too!

Our next show will be on December 12 at PointyKitty Studios on the northeast side of Madison. The show is called Buy Handmade for the Holidays and features more than a dozen artists. If you're in the Madison area please stop by!

I have been under the weather this week and haven't had time to do much of anything. I am focusing on keeping up with orders in my etsy shop but hope to make at least a few new things before next week's show. Our womens' owls in love & raining in my heart shirts were popular at the craftacular and I wish I had time to make more of those! I might just have to wait until after the holidays, though. Boo!

Hope you are having a magical holiday season! Enjoy the snow!

Somewhere between last year's winter shows and this year's summer shows I managed to lose my banner. It was simple but functional and I liked it. But it's gone. I have been thinking about what I would like for a new banner and shopping around a little considering having one made. But of course now it's late November and I have 2 upcoming shows. I would rather not have NO banner for my show this weekend. So the kids helped me whip up a new, simple banner yesterday.

It turned out lovely. Lars helped me cut the pieces. It was the most mellow thing we did all weekend.

I've been having fun finding pretty images to fill these huge, pretty bezels with. I am hoping to have a few pendants for necklaces ready and listed in my etsy shop soon but also decided to use some of the bezels to make Christmas ornaments. I finished this set last night. The images are from a 1970s childrens' magazine. So perfect for the holidays!

It's a lovely day in Wisconsin. I have a lot of busywork and things around the house to accomplish this morning but I am determined to enjoy the weather outside with the kids this afternoon. Hope you can, too! Have a great weekend!

Chad took the kids to visit his parents this weekend so I got lots of crafting done! I made and packaged lots and lots of magnet sets and mirrors, screen-printed onesies and started playing with new pendants. My sweet father visited and insisted on helping me out a little which was so nice. We managed to also find time for Indian buffet and and a movie. Not bad for one weekend!

The cards you see here are also new, but not quite as new as the other new stuff. They are old-new. I made them a couple of weeks ago but wanted to share.

Are you enjoying autumn? It makes me so happy.

Enjoy your Halloween!

It's almost Craftacular time! Chad and I are excited to be sponsoring this awesome event again this year. It's organized by Laura & Sachi from Anthology and Naomi & Jerome of Glitter Workshop and it's an event worth marking your calendar for! Over 60 artists and crafters will be selling their unique crafty wares all in one place on November 28. You can find more info here.

Chad and I created the postcard design for the show. Last year we made the forest critters cutting out snowflakes. This year they are giving knitting a try. This is one bunch of crafty forest friends! We're still working on some details but the postcards and posters will be finished and printed soon.

If you're in the Madison area please mark your calendar for this event and spread the word!
