has it really been THREE MONTHS since my last post. what.is.up.with.that?

i have been soooooo unbelievably crazy getting jim dandys off the ground, preparing for my first craft shows (it was Sacramento Indie Craft Show) and Maker Faire.

i will write separate posts detailing each (complete with pictures) so you can get the full inside scoop. i've also collected a few favorite sellers that i have met in person.

its been a bit surreal at times, and crazy stressful as i had almost no product in stock to support my craft show goals.

and.............. I rOCKEd THEM.

more on that later.

i've also partnered up with Amanda Pants and we are furiously working on a top secret mission that will blow this joint out of the water.

(by joint i mean fremont, ca)

tomorrow i am vending at subZero festival in san jose, ca. can't wait!!

then on june 21st i will be at Indie Mart in SF. SO STOKED!

lots of talk about selling in some bay area shops, and im THRILLED.

ON TOP OF THAT, i've been in new relationship bliss and preparing myself for mothering a SEVEN YEAR OLD.

can you believe that? my little girl is turning 7 tomorrow!

so even though there is much to tell and disclose and write about, i figured how else should i get back into the blog, if i don't start SOMEWHERE.

somewhere is here, and now im going to be there often.

:D

indie sacremento MAY show was an experience. it was my first craft show, so i was nervous, stressed, and feeling pretty much like new kid going to her first day at school.

happy uterus came with for support and help, and alley cat came as well.

we drove all the way to sacramento, was OF COURSE running late, and were taken by surprise when it was pouring down in rain when we got there.

happy uterus and i had to quickly jet over to the nearest target and buy a tent canopy. it was pretty ridiculous.

we had quite a few in attendance despite the rain. we ended up sharing our tent with Andy from Why Girls Go Astray. She was frikin awesome!

it worked out as the rain never stopped, and happy uterus and i had new people to chat with throughout the day.

you can see all photos for the ENTIRE event. lots of cool peoples and items.

despite the rain, my first craft show as a vendor was spectacular. even alley cat had fun!

she got to barter one of our hair pieces for a beautiful owl doll. it was gorgeous!!

the drive home we so high from success and the day, that happy uterus wrote down names for future hair pieces as we bantered ideas off each other.

alley cat slept the entire way
