Bows and Bags

These little canvas bags are great for storing your receipts, sunglasses, make-up, or other small trinkets. Hand embroidered, sewn together, and always a little crooked :) Making these bows are super fun!! I plan on attaching elastic to a few of them so people can wear them as bow ties.

More eye candy . . .

A small, green brooch that would look great on a gray cardigan. A soft pink flower for the girly, girl in all of us. This orange flower is made out of organic cotton. I love the velvet button. It's so soft and fuzzy! This simple, chic black brooch won't fringe as much as the other flowers. I have been experimenting with accenting my flowers in other ways besides buttons and beads. This flowers has a small leaf accent made from a recycle placemat. I love this flower. I call it the "Carrie Bradshaw." It's big, bold, and light as a feather. You can wear it as a brooch or in your hair. It comes across more as a hat in your hair, which I love. I can't wait to make more of these!!

Craft Bazaar at the Pretty Penny

So my body finally caved into the cold I had been feigning off the past week while getting ready for the craft fair.

I'm still recovering but I wanted to post a few photos of the Craft Bazaar.

It was such an amazing event! I am hoping that we have a chance to put together another one sometime in September.

SF Renegade Craft Fair

Here is a slideshow of my trip to the SF Renegade Craft Fair. So much fun, so many amazing people!! Enjoy!!

Spotlight: Owly Shadow Puppets

This is Andrea Everman of Owly Shadow Puppets from Chicago. I first happened upon this lady by accident back in March. I was working on a project and was researching shadow puppets and came across this video about a shadow puppet maker from Chicago. I was so thrilled to see her at the Renegade Craft Fair. What I love about her work is the ritual involved with it. She has really modernized the concept of puppets and made it accessible to people of all ages. I also really enjoy the valentines she makes. They are so funny!! Makes me wish I had a laser cutter!! Check out her website, etsy store, and the video below. I believe she will also be at Chicago Renegade Craft Fair, which is happening September 12th & 13th.
