Working Together!

Ok...so Betsy had the best idea....which she normally does....and then followed through on it....which she also does.....which is how we differ.....I think of things....forget....think of them again....buy the stuff to do it.....then never do it.
She suggested we make a patchwork dress together! We Are! I will put up photos as soon as it's done!

yeah!

Things that inspire me....

Basically anything EXCEPT Treasure City!!!

I love crafting!

Betsy and I are trying to take as many vacations as possible this year! We are doing well so far! We just returned from a 4 day trek in Northern Minnesota! (Don't worry we bought lots of fabric!) We got to visit some great craft stores! We went to Crafty Planet in Minneapolis, what a fun place! We also went to a few great quilt shops with lots of awesome fabrics! Now we are going to get busy making stuff for the upcoming 2nd annual Lay Flats Arts and Music festival! I will post some new photos of our work soon!

Photos of stuff I have been working on!

Ok....often times it goes that I make something, then it sells, and I forget to take a photo of it! I am going to try to take more photos so I can remember all of the stuff I have made!

Oh yeah!

BETSY MASTERED THE ART OF ORAGAMI LAST NIGHT......THIS IS A WHOLE NEW LEVEL OF CRAFTING!

Yeah!

So the first few months of the year were very slow at the shop.....
Now things are picking up, out of control!
We start the West Side Farmer's Market tomorrow!(If it doesn't rain!)
The first gallery walk of the season is this Friday!
The aprons are still up at the Monticello Library!
We are making lots of new friends and business relationships!
We are planning some really great events for the summer and fall!
I love Blue Monday!

I love May!

Yeah! It's May! I love May!

I have been a slacker about keeping up with the blog! I guess I am not much of a blogger! However, I still enjoy it from time to time, so I will continue. The apron show went well, and now the aprons are on display at the Monticello library! I can now say we have a traveling apron show! This weekend I will be teaching my first class on Apron making! We just found out that one Saturday a month they will be closing off Main St from 6th to 9th, to make a great walking environment to enjoy the shops, art, restaurants, etc! We are so excited about this! Our tiny little store will expand to the sidewalk and hopefully meet lots of new people! I am still contemplating being a vendor at the Farmer's market...I love and hate to do it at the same time! Hopefully I will be making lots of new items this weekend, so check out our Etsy site!
