"Sprawl" Opening

If you didn't get to come by on Friday evening the show will still be up through October 9th.

friday at the makery!

where have i been?!

over the weekend i attended the renegade craft fair in chicago. i was there peddling my wares (dearest inez) while tiffany manned the shop.
ive been a little absent on the blog because my life consisted of nothing but cutting, sewing, starching, and packaging all my little leaf wonders for the fair.
i did a lot of counter sewing over the past few weeks..

i was honored that dearest inez was featured in time out chicago before the fair AND on the readymade blog! woot!!
here's a little peek at one of my tables in the booth.

it was a great weekend with amazing weather and i met tons of great folks including many of the artists we carry here at the shop. hopefully ill be able to get back on track now that i can take a short break from sewing before the holiday season!!

friday night

makery makeover

when we moved to our new space last september, i didnt get to spruce up the place like i wanted to.
finally... a new paint job and it makes it soooo happy in here.
a big thanks to megen and tiffany for all their help!

good work kid. you have great taste!

injury

usually when i get hurt at the shop its related to a sewing mistake or glue gun mishap..
and sometimes i just walk into things head first.

sometimes i really wonder if i should wear a helmet around. maybe i can turn that into the next big fashion trend...
