stitch rock: my first craft show

For the past 5 months I have been cutting, sewing, gluing, cutting, sewing, gluing...preparing myself for Stitch Rock - a local indie craft fair. Well today was finally the day that I have been spending countless hours sitting in front of my sewing table for. I have to say, it was quite the experience. As people walked by my table murmering, "Cute!" and "What a good idea!" it made those hours worth while. While I can't say I'm going to jump on the next vendor application for our next craft fair, I really enjoyed the experience. (And the extra cash.....cha ching!) But for now, I will thoroughly enjoy the extra time not crafting will give me to focus on my photog business (more on that later) and spending time with my sweet family.

Here are a few snapshots (blurry at best) of my table and lovely offerings:



In other happenings, I have finally settled on a new logo for my photography business. Check it:

spring? oh, spring?

Living in South Florida, I've come to realize that there are two seasons: hot and hotter. We usually get 3-4 weeks in January where the weather drops to *gasp* 45 degrees during the day, and somewhere in the high 30's at night. Now don't get me wrong, I love wearing sundresses and flip-flops 95% of the year. But there's just one thing that's missing....SPRING. While the northern states are finally finished shoveling themselves out of their driveways, they are beginning to see signs of spring. Flowers budding. Sun shining. Trees blooming. Not here...

Today it was 90 degrees. Ninety.....

So...I decided to fake a little spring today. Thanks to a link on a friend's blog, I was able to make this spring-tacular wreath. Take a peek here if you're interested in making one of your own. Just a hint, make sure you buy moss sheets, which I discovered after I bought the wrong stuff. I love the result. It's so fresh and simple.


Also, the puppies say hello blog world! :)
