i am busy, busy, busy preparing for the event, which is a great motivator to get booties and other things done that i have been putting off, an example, the puddle jumper booties. so, this week there will be a bunch of goodies posted and listed in my etsy shop!
i have 5 new styles of booties and sandals cut and waiting to be sewn! 3 new t-shirts drying and waiting to be photographer lol of fun!
plus!!! jimmy's parents are in sedona for a week and we are going up there thursday and friday, so i have to have to expect my problem, things finished before then!! ack!
i am making pretty good progress though. and i am only bringing 2 pairs of each size in all the booties and sandals.-----------------------------------------------------------
i am really, really excited about this week. i am doing my first show on saturday with stacy of staceyrebecca the finger puppet goddess!!! i can't even tell you how pleased i am to share my first experience with her.
i just adore her shop and i can't wait for my niece to see her puppets!!
we are doing the arts jam in tempe on may 5th. anyone in the area please do come. its from 9-1 pm. it is their, the arts council for youth, first festival. it should be really fun.

let you click on the picture it will be easier to see.
i have been thinking a lot about what kind of impression my potential wholesalers get when they receive my linesheet and how to make my linesheet into a fun, snappy, little catalog to hand out to local boutiques.
i like the layout that i have for the photos, the short description, etc. but what is holding me back from approaching super high-end boutiques is how my whole presentation will look and how it will be received.
do i print my catalogs myself, perhaps i send it over to kinkos. how many pages should i make, how tall, slim?
i am not sure what kind of discussion this will bring but i would like to open it up as one. for easier conversation i will post it in the etsy forums. i think we all would like to feel more confident on making our first impressions meaningful and lucrative.

here is the second edition of the Little Fungi books. this one is cogumelo, which means mushroom in portuguese. i forgot to mention in the last post that it was called champignon, which is french for mushroom. just so i can keep track when someone purchases them.
this one is made of some funky, tropical fabric i bought a while ago but never seemed to use. i can't decide which mushroom i like the best. there will be a green/blue one joining the family soon.
other than that, no real news. just finishing some totes and handbags i hope to have finished by the end of the week. it's been so long since i've made them that i forgot how long it actually takes! it is also not a wise idea to try to make 4 totes and 2 handbags at the same time, though it helps when you get frustrated, you just move onto the next one, work on it until you get frustrated and so on....

Have no text to check? don't have any text to check? Click "Select Samples".i've been wrestling with the concept for small Fungi for a minute however i used to be having serious problems some thing new it stable, it stands alone. however finally i had one amongst the good moments and thought, i ought to cut a circle out of cardboard and see if that works and it did!!
i simply love the concept of it being a stand alone sachet. not solely will it clean up the house it also is sculptural and fascinating to seem at. i had a produce time photographing them. you will see within the icon below that there's a fungi family which will eventually be discharged.
