Now that I am no longer using my circa-1985 flip phone, I can actually take pictures with my phone! Who knew they invented such amazing technology? Apparently Christmas is a crazy time when you sell stuff, and I feel like I can't package orders fast enough. I thought I was well prepared for the holiday season, but I have even bigger plans for next year. I'm going to start getting ready for next next Christmas on January 1st 2011. For the last few...

Cheesy post alert! Last night I took Joe out for a super fancy dinner to say thanks for helping me at every craft show this year, but I thought a public thank you was in order too. So, thank you Joe for lifting ten heavy boxes while I struggle with one, going on bagel and coffee runs, correcting my math when I give people wildly incorrect change, waking up at 5am and then driving all night, and for sitting outside in 20 degree weather. I couldn't...

I just stumbled on these Christmas cards from alltheluckintheworld via Poppytalk and I love the idea of making a collage for the front of your Christmas cards. Or any cards. It looks like it came together so easily but it probably took forever to make it look that way. It would be cool to put together a collage like this using things you had found in the last year, so start planning now for next Christmas!Ever since seeing this journal I've been...

After one of the most exhausting weekends I've had in my whole life, we are back from the Bust Craftacular in NYC. The rain put a damper on things and the show wasn't quite as packed as I had hoped, but we got to go to possibly the best restaurant on the planet. I had been looking forward to it for months. If you live within a 1000 mile radius of New York, get in a car right now and drive to Fette Sau, order the pork belly and allow the food coma...

The last few weeks have been non-stop, driving, setting up shows, taking down shows, and then driving to the next show. And to celebrate the end of the Chantilly Christmas Market last weekend, I came down with a terrible cold and didn't leave my bed for two days. Now I am sitting upright again, and ready to go setup for the next big show tomorrow.This weekend I will be at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds for the Gaithersburg Sugarloaf, another huge...

At this time last year, I had just moved to DC. I made several stops on the drive down from Vermont, and spent a few nights in Philadelphia with not much of a plan and plenty of time to explore. While I was wandering around I found the Magic Gardens, a South Philly landmark, and what turned out to be one of the most inspiring places I have ever been. The entire building is covered in mosaics, inside and out from floor to ceiling. The entire thing,...

Yesterday I spent the day at the Torpedo Factory in Alexandria using the printing press. I do most of my printing by hand in my apartment, but for the big things like tea towels, they really need to go through a press to come out right. At the Torpedo Factory (and places like it around the country) you can rent out the press for the day and you get to use all their inks, rollers, solvents and all the other expensive materials you need for printmaking....

After the non-stop fun and exhaustion of last weekend, this weekend was a much needed rest. On Saturday, we drove out to the arboretum, or "DC's Best Kept Secret" as it is otherwise known. Nestled between a car-repair shop and several carry-out restaurants are hundreds of acres of trails, themed gardens and picnic spots. We had planned to go for a bike ride, but Saturday was incredibly windy, so the bike ride was downgraded to a picnic. We found...
