Thanks to all of you who came out to see me at Crafty Bastards this weekend. It was a crazy day and I hope I didn't seem too overwhelmed to chat! My booth was swamped with people all day. I really can never imagine this until it happens. I mean, it was like that last year and for the past month I kept wondering if I dreamt it.Yesterday proved that I hadn't as the people just kept crowding the booth. It was truly amazing.

Even more great were meeting both Karen and Nicole who I have corresponded with for a while. Other highlights were the tiny fights over "Sometimes I worry about zombies" shirts. I only made 15 of these because I was product testing them, but people just seemed to love them. I just added a pre-order to the store if anyone wants me to make them one. I also love love loved it when people bought skirts. I was telling my friend, Lisa, that I never sell the skirts and up comes a girl with the skirt that said, "I googled you today." I was so happy. Skirts are my favorite thing to write on. Something about the swoopy swoop of where I put the words. But I never sell them because they are always the wrong size for the person who really wants them. On my agenda is to concentrate more on writing on skirts because people really dig them.

Some things that I made last minute didn't even get pictures taken of them. Like the mirror that I made that said, "Some day we will all be ghosts." It was my favorite item of the day, and I secretly wished it wouldn't sell. But the girl I sold it to had the best comments about it. She said it made her happy, not sad. I felt the same way about it. I told her the story of my brother moving to Cali and missing us back in DC and how I wanted to mail or fax him my sister's ghost. I actually said the sentence, "And my sister has a ghost." to a stranger. Anyway, the girl who bought the mirror told me she had just moved here and was lonely and just bought a plant (she showed it to me). I wished I could give her a ghost instead.

Ok. More coming, like pictures of what I bought. For now, here are pictures of my booth, including the amazing sign that my sister made for me ( that is my sister's daughter, Shiny, in the picture).

I am working on updating the store and hope to have all extras in the shop in the next two days. There are lots of girlie sizes left.
