Craft Shows...A big success






sorry its been awhile since posting. these last two weeks have been insane. jennyjen was a huge success!I almost sold out of everything at the Merry Mart at the Creative Alliance that I had to sew like crazy for Squidfire. Out of the two shows I liked Squidfire better simply because we could spread out more and I could see the light of day. The Merry Mart crammed us all inside a theater space meaning no windows, an eight foot table space and a what felt like a foot between us and the people behind us!

Anyway, i found i had fans, which I never really experienced as a painter..and it felt pretty good. I spent this past weekend cleaning and organizing my sweatshop to prepare for '08.

here's some pics from the squidfire show!
