With my etsy store. I am serious, I find myself constantly thinking of things to put in there just to make it look cool……I am not even thinking about wether or not it sells (really, I swear).

I think it’s because earlier this week a lovely etsian named Onama http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=54355 very sweetly made me a banner. I think she felt sorry for me and my pathetic effort for a banner…..but anyway I love it, have you seen it yet? shame on you if you haven’t quick take a peek I’ll wait here…..

http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5096861. So what do you think?

Well as I said I love it and it has become a goal to get as many people to see it as possible, which of course means lots of cool stuff for the store. So on that note what do you think of my mobiles?

The chickens are made from felt and are all hand stitched………gawd I need a sewing machine, they took ages to make. The little eggs are of course needle felted from Corridale wool roving. They look pretty sweet.

I also put my mice to good use..

So I am loving my mobiles. And can’t wait to put them in the store.

On another happy note, I heard from Took Gallagher via email. Took owns a gallery in the Detroit area called the Dancing Eye Gallery, and was letting me know she had received some of my stabby critters for her art-o-mat machine. Now this is unbelievably cool for 2 reasons……..number one being Took is the only art-o-mat artist that I have ever bought 2 boxes of from the Madison machine…….I love her Juniors they are so cool. And number 2 ……Detroit area yaaaaay My critters are travelling further than I thought they would. Yaaaaay it’s gonna be a critter invassion.

Anyway Took has a myspace page that shows her work and the work of other artomat artists check it out it’s pretty cool…

If you have a myspace page I’d add her as friend. I of course don’t have a myspace page as I find myspace scary and creepy. And I also don’t like it’s connection to Rupert Murdoch and Fox, but then that’s just me.

So I finally downloaded my camera worth of piccies and can show you my little table at the lovli fair.

I got really lucky with my placement, I snagged the corner so could commander all the window space for my pillows and kits. I had made a felt banner saying stabbies that I swagged above my table…..and I was really happy with how it looked.

me and my critters.
So I had a great time at the fair and loved the two women I was placed beside. The rather raunchy gothfox http://lov.li/users/gothfoxdesigns who makes pasties……they were awesome and fun. And noxenlux http://lov.li/users/Noxenlux her hats were gorgeous and she even made some while at the show. I love to see people making stuff at craft shows, it makes it so much more personal when you can see how much work goes into the craft.

So I am readjusting to being back in Rockford after Portland. So unfair…….I wish I had a million dollars, I am pretty sure Portland would be my top pic of where I’d want to live……Portlanders (if that’s what you call yourself) please know I am so utterly jealous of you I could spit…….and I hate spitting.

My god it’s literally a stabby frenzy at my house. I was worried 3 weeks ago that I didn’t have enough time to make a decent table display of critters at the Lovli fair……Well I am not worried anymore, and I love what I’ve made……now I’ll just keep my fingers crossed that other people think so too.

Anyway here is SUPER MARIO

So hopefully I can put together a pretty display that attracts people over. And if not well I like them so it could be worse.
