It's that time of year again! CRAFT SHOW SEASON! Yay!!
I'll be participating in two this fall
First one being Indie Emporium in Tulsa, Ok on October 9th and 10th. Just 2 WEEKS! AH!


And the second one being The Girlie Show in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma on November 6th & 7th.


So I've been busy this week making away!





Those are owl snuggly pillows being born!

Last night Riley and I got to see Andrew Bird at Cain's Ballroom in Tulsa. We were there early and were able to be up front and center. It was an amazing show that was wildly entertaining and I caught myself just staring in amazement. I felt pretty creepy! Since Riley and I were so close we had to deal with some obnoxious people. Such as the drunk girl behind me who was louder than the music, screaming and clapping at random (quiet/not necessary) parts and was so close to me she kept clapping my hair and elbowing me in the shoulder. She apologized, which was nice but of course apologizing doesn't mean you're going to stop. She, once, even played with my hair. Yikes. I didn't let that bother me, I kept enjoying the show and I was not moving.
I really failed in the department of picture taking! They are blurry and bad, and I'm sorry but I'll go ahead and share anyways.

More than likely Riley and I will be moving to Tulsa March 1st! 2 months sooner than expected but I'm ready to move out of Stillwater. Now it's time to search for a place to live.
Hey Tulsans, have any suggestions? We are looking for a 1 or 2 bdrm home or apt!

Other than deciding that, I've been making some items to put into the shop this week!



I leave you with a song I heard on Sirius XMU (indie, underground) today and instantly fell in love with!!
Sleepyhead by Passion Pit
Enjoy!

dia de los muertos

Riley and I went to Tulsa today to go to the dia de los muertos arts festival.
We had a blast! I wish I would have taken more pictures but I tend to get caught up in things and forget! But here are a few.






The awesome Mary Beth from Dwelling Spaces and her rockin' face paint!



...and this is what I bought!




Let's celebrate the lives of those that have departed. Have a great night.

Indie Emporium weekend

Friday:
So after I blogged on Friday I gathered everything and started loading up my car.



We got to Tulsa around 4pm and started setting up. It took us until 5:30, which I was surprised by. The event started at 7pm and I still had to get ready and have dinner. After set up we went to our friends Cristi and Issac's house of Felix and Jayne to get ready and then headed to dinner around 6 or so. We didn't get our food until 6:40 so I'm sure you can imagine our anxiety. We got to the event at 7:00pm. We ran inside from the parking lot and had to run past the line of people waiting to get in. Nice. I didn't price my items beforehand so I was rushing to price everything. One of the first people to come by my booth was a woman and her grandchild. The little girl picked up an owl buddy and was excited about it. Her grandma replied, "If you had the patience, we can go home and figure that out". I just stared at her. That day finally came. I've heard stories from crafters of people saying "I can make that" around their booths. I know it wasn't a personal attack but it hurt my feelings. So I started my Friday night flustered. Within 30 minutes I was feeling better and enjoying the night. I'm sad to say I didn't get any pictures of Friday at Indie Emporium!!

Saturday:
Riley had to go home Friday after the event since he had to go to Lawrence, Kansas the next day. So taking his spot was my sister, Cristina!

We had lunch and headed to the venue early because I didn't feel like rushing again.
I decided now was the best time to take pictures of the booth!!
There's Cristina conducting business.



















Saturday was such a fun day! Cristina was an amazing helper and kept me laughing.



We came across one punk posy's booth and she had these rockin' mustaches on a stick! We became obsessed!
Cristina got into it


Claudia from Claudia's Burning Ink got into it!


The owl snuggly got into it!


Even the ghost!


Tini even got double into it!


It was great to see everyone again and meet new friends!


Renee from GreenerMe Casuals and Amby from The Knit Owl.


Cristi from Felix & Jayne and Issac!


The rockin' artist/photographer/designer Tony Li.


I have two more shows this year in Oklahoma. One in November and one in December! I'll let you know more about it later.
All in all it was a great weekend!
Thank you to those that were able to come to Indie Emporium!
