As you may have noticed, I rarely use this blog any longer.

I have decided that one blog is enough to manage and therefore will no longer use this one.
You can find all my info, activities and whatevs on my other blog simply titled, marymoondesigns.blogspot.com

There you will find my most current info as well as my updated event list and of course the crazy antics of my Crafty Cat.

So head on over, I'll see you in just a second.

Mary Moon Designs Touchy Feely

OLD PROJECT GIVEN NEW LIFE
My husband built me this library table a few years ago.He painted it and finished it as well. I did all of the designing, decorating and pouring of the resin.
It turned out really cool ! ! !
We had hopes that it would sell quickly so we could make more.We had a lot of fun themes planned out.
Let me tell you when your packing your vehicle for a show it fills up fast.I have only taken the aquarium table to a handful of shows and don't have room in my house.So it gets stored in the garage where no one can see and appreciate it.
I have got lots and lots of compliments on it when I have put it out for people to see.Everyone likes to touch the shiny surface.I tell them things like,"you don't have to worry about feeding them fish" or "you don't have to change the water in that aquarium".
I decided to take it out of storage for anyone to see once again.Couchfire Collective is hosting a show titled Touchy Feely.It sounded like the perfect opportunity for people to see, and touch our collaborative piece.
I hope you come out and see it before it goes back into storage ;o)



Touchy Feely will be on display from February 25-27,2010

Strange Folk Festival

We went to O'Fallen Illinois this past weekend to the Strange Folk Festival.Me and my daughter volunteered our time Sunday morning.We were assigned to the kids craft table.We had so much fun making shrinky dinks with the kids,and for ourselves obviously.This is pics of some of our collection of mini masterpieces :0)

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.

Signs

Come and see the awesome sign out in front of BoMA the day of the show.My wonderful husband built it.I made the sewn patch on it with the event and time.That's one thing I can't get my husband to learn,sewing.If your driving down High Steet next month,keep an eye out, you may spot the sign in front of a Clintonville shop soon.

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...
Liz
