Hats Available

I've been making some hats this winter..... some slightly hippie or maybe grungey type of hats.


Or maybe they're just woodsy and mountaingirlish.


Well whatever you call them, they are soft and cozy and keep you good and warm. See some in my Etsy shop.

Also, I was part of a shop last December. Luckily my smARTS/blogging buddy, Mother Bliss, got some good pictures of the little shop., including my little section.

Fun at an Art Show

Sunday we got out and joined in on a local art sale, a few miles down the road. It was a lot of fun, and since it was free, it turned out successful. Wesley had a good day, and people truly enjoy his art. That's fun for me to watch.

This is the 2nd year that this art show has been going on. I hadn't been there before, so it was a learning experience. Such as there were good spots, and then others not so good. We were in the "back 40", and there was a little less traffic. But our neighbors were a lot of fun, and very nice. Next time we'll try to get one of the better spots, and I'll be sure to have more inventory when that happens. I had a busy week before the show, and it was a bit of a last minute decision to join, so I was lucky to have this much inventory. I'll also make sure to have a larger table... my booth looks a little cluttered!

Anyway, it was fun, and it helped boost my profits for August. Can't beat that!

Craft Event

We went on a quick journey down to Garden Grove for a quite-little Craft Event. A bit of a bust, but fun anyway. I met some people, and networked, and luckily was less than a mile from my mom's house. So that made it convenient enough to give it a try. I do believe Wesley had the most sales of anyone there! And it got me ready and eager for another sale soon. Although I should've stayed home and did the local little art show, but I had already made plans for this one when I heard about the local one. Oh well.



I enjoyed the people that I met. I even met someone who is an old friend's cousin. It's so true what a small world it can be! I met fellow Etsiers, and CCCOE street team members.... oceanavesilks RedBessBonney cigarboxbeads and needleinascrapstack. So that was fun. Some other people I enjoyed were psychoproducts and Whodini Handmade. And of course the friendly, energetic event organizer Lacy Ink. So not a complete bomb and waste!

My little table looked kind of cute, I thought.



And my mom's leaf creations looked stunning! These are made of concrete, and the colors are so lovely.

Craft Show This Weekend

You haven't heard from me in a over a week, and this is partly the reason. I'm doing a craft show this weekend! I've been trying to get my stuff all ready for the event. And of course, my volunteer work keeps getting in my way. My annual batik lesson was this week (lots of time and energy). And also baseball has started - we're coaching for the 6th year straight. This seems to take over my thoughts more than anything!! I'm not sure why, I'm not the sporty type AT ALL! But I guess when I take something on, I get way into it, trying to improve myself, and do the best job possible.

So just a short post to check in, and to tell all of you who just may be in the OC this weekend, to stop by and see me, Wesley and my mom!
