I've been really stressing over how I can go more green...and thanks to Trixie Palace's Andriana Pateris's great idea...cloth napkins with my favorite fabrics, rick rack and recycled fabric backings! They will be debuting this weekend at Crafty Bastards for $6 a piece or 4 for $20! Hope to see everyone there! Rain or shine! I will list my left overs in the shop next Monday!

New Urban Birdy Bird Series

The birdy birds have always been urban with their attitude stances and poses, but its time to expose a little more from which they came. I live in this wonderful little oasis in Baltimore city surrounded by trees and grass and lawn mowers and birdies and squirrels and even a fox that exposes himself every once in a while. But I am still very much a Baltimore native with the sound of periodic gun fire and helicopter's search lights, and need to also need to narrate the story of the true urban birdy. Introducing Mr Pigeon and the Black birds! All three will be at Crafty Bastards making their debut!

New Products made this weekend!

I have had such a productive three day weekend! Introducing the little girl tote! Perfect for her first little purse! Machine washable with one interior pocket! Cocktail totes for any gal! New and improved with a velcro closing so your personal items won't fall out! And more totes in pink and Eggplant!

Look Who's on the Crafty Bastard Blog!

yesterday was a very long day at Hampden Fest . We arrived before the tent was up. The BEST crew questioning how organized this event was going to be. And then we were invaded by vendors to share our tent we did not know about...our thoughts were pretty right on. Half of the group ended up facing buildings and shops and not the crowd. I completely lucked out with a corner facing the crowd. It started out pretty slow but turned into a fairly productive day. I had many a compliment which is always worth sitting in the hot humid heat for most of the day. I even had a woman tell me that I was "amazing"! That was pretty special. Packed up my gear, a good amount to start for Crafty Bastards for the 28th. Our booth looks like it is pretty much the farthest away from the front, so my luck will not be as good as yesterday. A broken sewing machine, awaiting a part..and a large pile of cut out, ready to sew hand bags and eye glass cases awaits me foe the next two weeks. Any way, I rejoiced last night to find my answers published in the crafty bastards blog questions. Check it out here. And thanks to everyone who stopped by yesterday! And thanks for my BEST buddies who really made yesterday a fun event!
