Gift Guide

So last year I posted a Christmas list, didn't go over too well, I got nothing on that list for Christmas. So this year it is a Gift Guide, for anyone on your list! Think of it what you will, it's just too fun to pick stuff out. :)

Anthropologie...

others later...

Here it is again

Styled in a totally different way! Except for the pop of blue...

I made this today

I'm loving this houndstooth print

A taste

of what we enjoyed last night. Ray was so good! I have seen him once before at ACL and loved him, and last night was even better. The only disappointment was that we had to stay seated, not letting me groove to my fullest potential. He was with the band he did his latest CD with, The Pariah Dogs. I was also so excited last night because to my surprise (not listed on the ticket) this group called the Secret Sisters opened and I just heard them do a little live show on NPR and loved it. They are two girls with beautiful voices and sing with an oldie sounding style.

It just oozes out of him...

Introducing!!

Baby crafts!
Been wanting to try my hand at some cute baby stuff for a while now and after a baby shower this weekend and more babies today my inspiration overwhelmed me! So I am taking these items up to the school and seeing if any one is interested... Are you interested?

Hot cake plates!

I have now sold 8 of these up at the Montessori school, it's so nice of them to let me have a little display set up...

View from my desk

Subbing today! Been fairly busy as of late, hoping to get to some crafts and sewing soon!

Turns out...

Greg makes a really pretty girl, here's the proof...

Jessica's apron

I made it for her for her birthday!
And she looks great in it...
Her hair is red for Halloween purposes
FYI, and it looks really fun.

My Birthday Party

was a success! I was super impressed with everyone's costumes and Paul did such a great job with the food and prep! yay!

and here is how my gothic/punk ballerina turned out! not bad...

great stuff!

Lovin' it!

Will really went above and beyond,

and Amanda put up with that makeup like a champ

BUT! The clear costume winner had to be miss Toostie!!

(oh my gosh she is the cutest ever!!!!)

Trim usage

kinda hard to see the real beauty of this trim here, but I made a cute belt out of the trim I got last week at Ellen's.

The Craft Show

Although my mom, aunt and I would not describe the craft show as a raving success, we enjoyed ourselves and were able to sell some of our things. I probably sold about 9 cake plates, and that was enough to pay for what it cost me to make all my cake plates, so that's pretty good.

mostly we had fun complimenting each other on what amazing products we have.

these were the cute book-lettes Soo Soo made

I did have help from family in offloading some of my merchandise, thanks Tina!

The booth!

my mom's awesome clocks

all my plates!

This is pretty great too

From Helen, friend at my mom's school.

paul wins!

he got up at 5 30 to go get me bagels and set up this little display for me downstairs, he even put the bagels on a cake plate for pretty display!

nice moves...

Last Week at Slocum Style

The event this year was another success! We had a good time and got to score some more amazing trim from Ellen S. Holt.

Gor-juas! ( Soose got this one)

so happy...

this store is so cool, B. Gover Limited, has a cool anthropologie feel with a lot of industrial antiques

Yay!

Craft/Jessica

I am off to the craft fair, but tomorrow is Jessica's Birthday and I had to leave a message for her.

Last Thursday

Paul and I went to the fair on a whim and here are some hipstamatics I took...

OK everyone!

Great News!

The Taste and See art show is next weekend in

Colleyville and guess who will be selling some crafts!

I am!

along with my mom and my Soo Soo.

I am selling handmade cake plates, and my mom is selling super cool clocks she made, and Soo Soo is selling some paper items like notebooks and journals (all of our stuff is handmade, of course!)

I have been working for a while now and have made about 25 plates to sell, priced $15, $18 and $20 each.

Here is a flyer for the event, at Good Shepherd Catholic Church in Colleyville

Oct. 16 and 17.

There will be music, food and wine!

I really hope that some of you decide to come on out for a beautiful Fall day at the craft show...

pretty pretty pansies

Some Fall displays!

New shoes, Toots likes em.
