It's that Time Again!
After a two month long vacation from craft fairs, it's time to start toting around my tables and bins again. I'm pretty excited; I miss getting out and watching people enjoy the things that make me so happy to create. I'm usually a shy person, so it's good for me to get out and "have" to talk to people. Over the last 4 years of having booths, I have seen both me and my seemly quiet hubby grow to become more confident and independent people. I'm so proud of us! I had never even thought about the additional benefits having our own crafty biz might have.

Anyone in the Portland metro area who wants to get an early start on holiday shopping and help support my alma mater and lots of indie artists & crafters, come see me next Saturday! I promise to have lots of fun stuff at special prices!

Kinda Creepy
You know those wacky online quizzes? Aron, you should be relieved to know that after answering the bizzaro questions on the What Letter Does Your Soulmate's Name Start With? quiz, my result was the letter A! Furthermore, it said "Possibly (but not limited to) Addison, Aaliyah, Aaron, Adam, Abigail, Abby or Aiden." So there ya go, we are soulmates, it's been confirmed (-:

Blast From the Past
When I was a kid, Garbage Pail Kids were very popular. Well, now someone clever created this:

Misery & Suspense
I know I've been neglectful in my blogging. I have two excuses:
1) my chronic pains have been wreaking total havoc
2) the small percentage of time I can function as a human being has been spent working on an exciting new crafty endeavor

I am only 32 years old, but usually feel more like an 82 year-old thanks to intractable chronic daily headache, restless leg syndrome, and TMJ (temporomandibular joint disorder). And those are the reason I am awake at 3:30am, when I have to be at work in a mere three hours. I will say that one good thing does come out of it all; my fur-kids really love when all I do is lay in bed b/c they get to cuddle with me! Enough kvetching. On to the good news; I'm collaborating on a project with my favorite group of guys. Soon I will be venturing into a new market with my creations. But, that's all I can say for now! (-:

Whatta Day!
We had the best time ever at the street fair last Saturday! It was busy all day and we sold tons. The weather was perfect at about 80 degrees and sunny. Sandy met lots of other nice dogs and enjoyed sharing my chicken kabob with me.
Many friends stopped by to say hi, including Tyler and Chris. Even better, Aron was sweet enough to stay back at the booth and work while I ran a few blocks away to hear Outpost live for an hour!
Aron got to hug a tree.
And, we were awarded this in recognition of our not breeding!

Last Chance
After a busy spring and summer, tomorrow is my last street fair of the year. The weather is going to be perfect. So, if you're in the Portland metro area, come on by SE Belmont for shopping handmade goods from local vendors, live music (at 2pm the best reggae band in the world is performing), delicious food, kids activities, and free trolley rides. I'll be at the corner of SE 35th and Belmont. See ya there!

Party Time!!!
This Saturday come on over to SE Portland for a reggae, ska, roots, and acoustic music extravaganza! My favorite group of super-cool guys with amazing skills will be hosting all the fun. Awesome merchandise will also be available from local vendors too (like me and Headdy Hats)! Lots of good music, good people, and good times. You'll be really sad if you miss it...
