Prep Work

Posted on 08:52 by Unknown


Crafty Bastards is coming up this Saturday, and is the show I've been most excited for all year. It takes place right down the street from me in Adams Morgan, and if I forget anything I can just run the two blocks home and grab it.

I visited the show last year as a customer, and it was the most crowded craft fair I have ever been to, like a block of people shuffling from booth to booth. I am so excited to be on the other side of things this year, and am manically prepping as much as I can.

Today is the last day I can print so the ink will be dry by Saturday, but there is plenty of sewing, book binding and packaging* to do after that.

*Thanks to Sara Brinda I have been much more conscious of Oxford commas lately, but decided not to use one here. Thoughts?

Coasters debuting on Saturday!






I will be doing a special sale this weekend for those blog readers/email subscribers: if you mention this post, you can get a $26 organic fair-trade tea towel for just $20! All you have to do is mention the blog, and I will give you $6 off every towel you buy.

There is also a competition to vote for the "Craftiest Bastard" of 2011, so you can click this super fancy link and vote! All you have to do is enter your email address, with no account sign-ups or anything. Thanks in advance!
