Alamo Square Flea Market

Has anyone local to the Bay Area ever participated in this?

The Alamo Square Flea Market is taking place this Saturday, and its local, and its only $25 to enter and there are still tables available. I just got one!!!

You can find me at booth F-14, on Fulton between Scott and Steiner. Come by! Bring me a beer! Buy a Wunzee!!!

I don't want to be surrounded by junk though. Im hoping that its a good way to get exposure, and even though I'm not all ready with labels, and a good table display....i figure its a good way to get out there, and maybe get some of my stuff sold! Lord knows I could use the money.

lil gentleman

So random story. My friend in Austin tells me that her friend from HS has posted pictures of her baby and she thinks he is wearing one of my onesies. "Did you buy it for him?" She said no, and that she doesn't know where it came from. So I do some sleuthing, and figure out that we have a mutual friend in the Bay Area who DID in fact buy the onesie from me. The friend from HS currently resides in SF, so it makes sense. BUT....weird right?

The Facebook "friends in common" has led me to some other weird connections too. Love it. I love seeing my onesies on their owners. It makes me smile. Im going to find more of the photos that have been sent to me and upload them as well. At any rate, adorableness below.

Giraffes!!

I just added two new, similar onesies to my shop. Trying to gain focus, and thought that this lil guy was super cute! Let me know what you think...

Stretch McNecklesins

Just wanted to share the latest addition to my shop. I was inspired by my Etsy Tag Monday.

hidden away

So I kind of disappeared this weekend. When there were BBQ's galore, birthday parties to attend, and other fun stuff in the city to do, I chose to stay at home most of the weekend. Saturday I did go to a BBQ briefly, but was home in my PJ's by 8:00. I think thats Ok every once in a while. Just disappearing, no justification needed. We did go and buy a few video games today to entertain us, in addition to continuing the search for a kitten (we don't own one yet, though I'm hopeful we find a new friend this week. This relaxing weekend allowed me to almost complete a commission of 6 onesies, and do a few of my own for my shop. Im rested, and ready to start my week....hopefully being as productive as I need to be. A few of the latest and greatest for you to check out...

Continuing with the retro theme this weekend, I made this super cute 1-up onesie. I debated actually including the 1-up words on it, but decided that simple is better.



I also made a similar tulip for my commission, and liked it so much, I added it to my store too!

the shower of Lady Bugs

I just got back from Emily's baby shower. Though it was a 2 hour drive each way, it was totally worth it, and great to see my friend in her very pregnant state. I was really impressed with the shower overall. Trina, the host, was very clever in keeping the ladybug theme, and it actually spread to the guests and their gifts as well. The crafty nature of Emily's family and friends was impressive. Some highlights:



Trina's friend Janelle made these adorable cupcakes. White frosting with red sprinkles and strawberries, where the other ones had green frosting with lady bugs on top.





Emily's sister in law made this cute diaper cake. It was a three tier cake (not edible of course), surrounded with cute accessories like pacifiers, the lady bug sandals on top, and combs.




With the already chosen name Sophia, the obvious nickname is Sophie, so Emily received this cute hand painted pillow. I guess the baby lays on it in the parent's lap. Adorable and functional!




This was the most amazing quilt I had seen in a long time. Emily's mother had quilted this Hungry Little Caterpillar themed quilt, and you could tell a lot of talent and love were put into it. I would hope for something like this as well. I thought it cute, especially with the recent onesie I had made in the same theme.




Emily has already decided that the theme of Sophia's room will be Red, Black and White, so how appropriate that Trina painted these letters for her room. A nice splay of color, both solid and patterned, and a treasure for any child's room. Something that can grow old with her as well.





Last, but certainly not least, how can I leave out the picture of Emily with the onesie I made for her. I cant wait to see the photo of baby Sophia rockin the outfit!

Baby Fail

I don't know if you have seen the FAIL blog before, but its some of the funniest stuff out there. This one in particular was brought to my attention. I thought I'd share it with the craftsters out there as a "what not to do". Sort of looks like a lion costume, acts as a shammy/dust mop, and since I'm making original onesies, I thought his was LOL worthy.

The latest: Goin Retro

Yah, Yah, I know I said I was going to be sticking with things with tails, but I woke up yesterday morning, after having some sort of crazy dream, and all I could think of was Pacman.  So...I did it.  

I may stray.  But wasn't it worth it? :)
