An exciting adventure.

  

Shiny shiny

Those are some fine looking table cloths.

Looking very nice.

It has really come together.

Ooh, new things I haven't seen yet.

Cleavage?
 
 
 
 
 

Nom nom nom

1 bowl, 1 banana, 2 scoops ice-cream, 1 drizzle chocolate topping, 1 scoop nuts. MMMM

The pics aren't the highest quality but the treat sure was.  

Tomorrow is the big day.

Yesterday I took some more stock into Rhody Craft 100. The store is looking amazing. I have few new chip and dip plates too, I am loving those. After our big grand opening is over I need to pack up some stock for next trip to Twist.

I haven't done this show before but I have heard great things about it. Northampton is about 90 minutes from Rhode Island so it's really not that far. Come on over.
 

Yey computer!

I have been without a computer for several days and it has been horrible. I am a confessed computer junkie. After I met my now husband online I was checking me email and messenger frequently and now that my wholesale orders come via email, I'm still hooked. I have about a dozen orders sitting in my basement ready to go out but with no computer I couldn't put anything into Quickbooks and I couldn't print any shipping labels. Hopefully Monday will be.... Oh and here is where I realize Monday is a holiday and I won't be shipping anything. Tuesday everything will be shipped.

 

 
I have some really cute new cupcake stands but I haven't taken any good shots so you are stuck with some oldies.

The Cakery

I had coffee today at a lovely local cafe called The Cakery. It's at 91 Main Street, Woonsocket. 401-767-2300. They don't have a website yet but give them a call for their hours. I was with my new friend Pat and we had coffee and banana bread for under $6 for the both of us. Amazing. I pinched these photos from the web, not the Cafe. Next time I'll take my camera so I don't have to be a thief.

Thank you Worcester

I had a fantastic time yesterday. Great people, great sales, great show. No time to take any photos though. I arrived late, the very last vendor actually, so I was just setting up as the event began. I didn't even get to eat my lunch until 4.30pm. Here's a photo just to fill in the blank. Guess who had chocolate pudding?

StART on the Street

I'm in Worcester today for StART on the Street. This is my favorite show. It reminds me of The Spring Hill Fair in Brisbane, Australia. Come and see me.

Unfreaking believable.

I think I may have to switch from Typepad because I shouldn't have to attempt a post 6 times and then still have to start from scratch.

A giant sigh!

That was what came out as I started to think about a post title. I have been busy all day going up and the down the stairs from my house up to the studio and then down the stairs to the basement. It's a lot of stairs when you put them all together. I think I might borrow my husband's pedometer tomorrow.

I have two shows this weekend, one which usually is ok and the other is my favorite show of the season. I have been making lots of tumblers and cereal bowls and lots of small dipping bowls. I have quite a few bird bowls here from my last stretch of making so at least I don't have to do those.

I normally make those cute little word dishes for about 5 weeks and then take a week to make whatever I want to make, which is usually the black and white stuff. I have a few orders for the word dishes and that pressure is starting to build again already, and it's only day two of my free week. I have stores emailing me wanting their stuff sooner and custom items, which I do not like.

I found out today that I wasn't accepted for Craftland this year. I am totally ok with it. I did it last year and I was actually relieved and disappointed at the same time. It's nice to get the nod of acceptance but I really have enough on my plate already. Same story with Bazzar Bizarre. It would have been nice to be considered for that but it's just another big panic to prepare for when I already have something else very lovely lined up for that day. Something that I was asked to join, so it of course is going to much more wonderful.

In other news, my husband has a horrid cold and thinks he has bronchitis again. I have one runny nostril which seems very odd. My daughter is obsessed with Scooby Doo. She spends every waking moment asking me to play Scooby Doo with her, eating Scooby Doo mac and cheese and singing the Scooby Doo theme song. It was very cute and cool in the beginning but now it's just getting weird.

If you read this, please make a comment. I am starting to feel a little nutso and alone.

Mr Postman!

 

I had been looking for a long time but I finally found what I was searching for. The mold for these little guys is on its way and I'm just waiting for my postman to deliver it. I have been doing the birdies for ages now and I need a change. I took some photos on some other delicious studio developments but I accidentally left the camera upstairs and I am too lazy to go and get it. It's been a long day.
