NEW NEW NEW

Back in October I mentioned that I had some exciting news to share.
The first part of this statement has already been revealed.That would be the December Trunk Show that i'm doing at the Columbus Museum Of Art.It's going to be AWESOME.

Next on my list of announcements is my NEW creations(pictured).
You get a sneak peek at my NEW Matryoshka Doll design.
The face is painted onto the fabric.Then I cut out the fabric for the body and attached with some fun stiches.
I think shes ADORABLE :o)

I also created a NEW line of Zippy Cosmetic bags.
There bigger than my other style of zippies, so you can put more stuff in them.
I made a mini sized Geisha Girl (pictured) and a Martyoshka Doll (pictured) to put on the front of them.
This would be a great bag to carry your essentials in as well, when you want to leave your purse at home.

I will be listing them in my Etsy shop SOON :o)

Craftin' Outlaws 2009

I didn't get to take to many photos this past weekend at Craftin' Outlaws.
I was to busy talking to customers and talking to my neighbors.
and when my booth sitter(my husband)wasn't busy with his volunteer duties,I walked the show to see the other vendors and crafty friends.
This is definetly my favorite picture I took.
My Baby B with her mommy in her cool shirt I got for her at What The Rock ?!
You can see more photos from this year and from previous years in the
Craftin' Outlaws Flickr group.

My Newest Style of Bag, Large Tote Bag

Okay I have finally decided to phase out the large Hobo bag I have been carrying for about 3 years now.This is the new replacement for all the BIG bag lovers out there, myself included. I am calling this one,the large pocket tote.What do you think????? Leave me a comment!I'd love to hear from you.

Lookin forward to the next one

It was a long,long day but we had a great time at the Craftin' Outlaws show this past Saturday.We met a lot of great vendors
and customers.It was also great to see and spend some time with people we already know.My husband made the sign that was in front of BoMA and the Plinko game that was used at the event.We also helped with the set up and tear down.I worked the vender check in and brought the much needed coffee.A BIG THANK YOU to Liz for letting us be a part of the show.

I was mentioned in the Columbus Dispatch today

First of all.......This is a picture of the back of my chair.My husband bought me replacement seats for my directors chair that I use at shows.He also got some fabric pieces.This was all the way back at X-mas time.He had planned on cutting out the letters and using other materials, like beads and stuff, to decorate the chair.He PLANNED.It was a nice idea that he never completed.So I did it myself.
Anyhow,I met a real nice lady at Comfest(Molly).She had me contact Kristy Eckert at the Dispatch.Kristy said my bags were "super cute… fun, funky" and took my business info.She put me in a portion of her article in todays paper.SUPER COOL!!!!
Thanks Kristy!!!!! :0) Thanks Molly!!! ;0)
Check it out....

My new Squirrel Bag

I just finished a making a batch of purses.Usually I prefer to carry bright colorful ones.Out of all of the ones I made I think this one is going to be MY OWN personal bag.I like natural colors but prefer pinks blues and purples.I am very pleased with how this one turned out.Actually there wasn't a bad one in the whole batch(13).If you see me at my next show(Westerville) stop by and take a look I think you'll enjoy them.

This is from an e-mail written by Liz(Craftin' Outlaws)
Check the vendors out now to start making your shopping list! We were able to select a large variety of items, styles, and price ranges- something for just about everyone.
We had an overwhelming number of applications this year- I think everyone is excited about the new venue, BoMA. Our previous years we had to deal with dark cramped conditions, half indoors and half out, inclement weather, tent poles, etc. This year we have a fantastic new venue, that although we will still be filling with vendors- the layout and indoor location with great lighting should provide a much better shopping experience.
Mark your calendar now-
Craftin' Outlaws 4th Annual Alternative Craft Fair
at BoMA (Bar of Modern Art)
583 E Broad St, downtown Columbus
August 16 from noon until 7p
Don't forget it is free admission and all ages- so bring your friends and family. There is free parking in the patron parking lot directly behind BoMA and also on Broad and surrounding streets.
Hope to see you there! Remember, Craftin' Outlaws is the ONLY 4th Annual Alternative Craft Fair in town, the biggest of its kind in Ohio. The hip craft fair you know and love- just a little earlier and at a new venue! If you are aware of the controversy- show your support and help spread the word where Craftin' Outlaws is and isn't this year...
