Indie Craft Show 2010!

Hey there!

The Indie Craft Show happened on Saturday the 16th and it was AMAZING!

But, I wanted to share with you a bit more about the wonderful vendors that came out for the event!

(But I had no time to blog in the couple days before)

SO I'm planning to continue featuring the lovely vendors before I share the specifics of the Indie Craft Show 2010!

Vendor Feature: And The Pickles

Hey there lovely friends! The days are growing closer to the Indie Craft Show! I'm running around like crazy trying to get everything done ! But I am SO EXCITED!

I'm doing a VERY late night blog post this Thursday night ( or is it Friday morning? hmmm....)
to share with you all And the Pickles Mystical Page Pets!
I work with Bre at Starbucks and I knew when she showed me these fantastic felt bookmarks that she HAD to be in the Indie Craft Show! I just love them so dearly!
Check em' out, they are so much fun!

Mr. Dinosaur and his fancy cupcake friend here to keep your place!

Also, Inspector Turtle and Mr. Roboto came to join the party!

I do believe that she also is making other felt critters along with some hair do-dads too!
I can't wait to see!
I am so stoked that Bre agreed to show these wonderful Page Pets at the Indie Craft Show!

Vendor Feature: Misses Octopus

Hello readers! As promised I'm taking a break this Tuesday evening from my constant crafting to show you one of the fantastic vendors that are going to be a part of the Indie Craft Show.

Her name is Nikki, her business is Misses Octopus, and she has been an organizing force in helping me to put this show together!

I am so happy to show you some of her adorable creations!

She makes a variety of charming key chains! I'm in love with this turquoise octopus!

She's an awesome painter with an adorable vision!

How cute is this daisy headband?!? (and Nikki too! ) ;)

She has up-cycled some jewelry boxes too! I just love this "Fox Box"!

Take a picture it lasts longer!(I'm a nerd)....LOVE this mini camera necklace!

This cute cupcake keychain makes me hungry!

AMAZING!

Thanks Nikki!

Planning a craft show is no joke!

We are less than one week out from the Indie Craft Show! My friend Nikki (Misses Octopus, check her out!)has been helping me put it together for months now.

It all started with an idea to do a girls night at someone's house and set up tables with our stuff, just as a fun way to make a little extra cash.
Then she told me that we could use the (fairly large) clubhouse of her apartments for free!
It's such a big space that we needed other vendors too!
Luckily we have many crafty, talented friends! Now the Indie Craft Show is a ten vendor operation...and it seems like the whole town is coming!
I have definitely planned parties before but this would be my first event!
But it is no joke folks! These things cost money, and there's a lot to figure out, and a lot of people to organize! ...But it has been so fun!
The vendors for the show are super lovely ladies!

For this next week, in between crafting away in preparation for the show on Saturday,
I will be showing you all of the beautiful work that these wonderful vendors do!
Look forward in the next couple of days to learning about the lovelies I have been creating with lately!

Craft Show in less than two weeks! + flower pins!

Hello all! Less than two weeks before the big Indie Craft Show!

I've never sold items at a craft show before (much less planned the whole thing! lol)

I have been crafting LIKE A MANIAC! I am up to 102 cup sleeves and have successfully added into the mix Christmas/Halloween cup sleeves, as well as more boy friendly versions!

In addition to cup sleeves I will be selling a number of other creations which Iwill be sharing with you here!

First up....flower pins!

Remember these little guys I was working on?

I decided to make some in more earthy tones as well.

I've added a pin to the backs with the help of matching felt.....

....and I'm pleased as punch with how they came out!

MANY more flowers are springing to life this week....among many other things!

My hands have been very busy!

Check beck for previews of what some other lovely vendors will be selling!

Have a beautiful Tuesday!
