Time to get my butt in gear!!

I found out today that my friend and I were accepted to participate in the Dubuque Art Market on July 2nd!

Very excited but also very nervous!!

Along with the email I got, they attached the "Official Artist Guide"  outlining all of the do's and don'ts as well as helpful tips on what to bring, etc..etc..etc...

This will be my first BIG craft event, so I'm a little afraid I'm going to screw up somehow.  So I have from now until July 1st to get my butt in gear and prepare myself!

EEEEK!

Toodles,

Fabric Pins!

Thought I would share some of my latest creations.  I've been running wild with this fabric pin thing for a while and have been pumping these babies out like crazy in the past few weeks.  They are a lot of fun to make!

Heaven is stuffed with an Oreo

A friend of mine that I work with emailed this recipe to me the other day.



Holy Jebus!

I think it's the size of my fist...

Probably will make my heart stop beating...

Or cause me to gain 10+ lbs.....

But will all be worth it.....

Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies.  Picky Palate....you are a genius.  Thank you for this recipe.  No thank you to you for my jeans not fitting anymore.  I will be making this sometime in the very near future and will probably need a day to recover.

Here's the link to the recipe.  Enjoy my friends.

3rd MOMmade Party

This past Saturday was the 3rd MOMmade Party/Craft show at the Bettendorf Coffee Hound.  I was much more prepared this time around.  I made stand up displays and fancy price cards.  I even got my own table!

Unfortunately it was not a good day!  Hardly anyone showed up.  It was a real disappointment, but I know these things happen.  Not every event you go to can you have a good turnout, so I am trying to not let it discourage me.

So for the next event at the end of this month, I will have plenty of stock and will be well prepared....AGAIN!  I will just hope for more customers!

Here are some pictures from the event!

Until next time,

This is not a cathouse!

Nic thought he was helping me prepare!
