untitledsaurus

This month is flying by!! Next week is already Thanksgiving, and also my birthday!
I'm happy to share my birthday with the Macy's Day Parade.
Yesterday I was in Oklahoma City all day for the Rock N' Roll Garage Sale! There was live music from 12-8p and many vendors. I sorta felt out of place. All the people selling around me were selling "garage sale" type items. Yes, I know it has the word garage sale in the title but I was told it wasn't like that. There were sellers selling new items but my booth wasn't next to theirs. You can feel my misplacement, right? So I watched the lady across from me with her $1.00 clothing make a killing. I still had fun and enjoyed seeing old friends, new friends, eating cupcakes with sleepy Riley and trying the new red bull cola (disgusting).




When I came home I counted my money, and to my surprise, I made more than I expected (and hoped)! So that made my night.
I also tallied up what I sold. I love to see what the top sellers were! I had two #1 sellers in OKC and they were the owl ornaments and owl keychains. I also love to compare what sells better in the different cities. The top seller at Indie Emporium in Tulsa was the yeti. And in OKC the bigfoots sold more than the yetis. It always surprises me for some reason.
Now it's time to get ready for another show I'll be doing in OKC on December 6th called Deluxe!

-random update time-
*I get to announce the winner of the owl ornament tomorrow! You have until 11:59 CST to enter! Please look at post below for more info!

*I've added a new yeti ornament to my shop! This guy has a blue ribbon!


*I'm a Christmas music nut. True story. I have XM radio so I'm listening to Christmas music in my car and at home!! I feel like an elf when I'm making ornaments! Oh it makes me giddy!!! Can you tell with all those exclamation points?!

Any big plans for this week? My goal is start working on owl snugglies and filling up my shop with the bundle of goodness!
Have a great sunday!

it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

The storms took our leaves from our tree!

I know it's only November 11th but guess what....

WE PUT OUR CHRISTMAS TREE UP!!!
Normally I wait until after Thanksgiving but I need it up to take pictures of my ornaments!! And when I'm done I'm not taking it down, because I like a small fake tree in my living room with lights.









I've also listed new pouches in my shop!




They're just so fun to make! I'll also be adding the little yeti ornament to my shop this evening!

I'll be having another giveaway this month! I can't decide what to giveaway though! I'm so indecisive. Either a zipper pouch OR an owl ornament. What do you think?

rainy monday

It's another rainy day here in Stillwater! Which was nice waking up to but not nice for taking pictures! So I just worked on pouches today to put into the shop tomorrow. Here's my dark and messy working space.



Here's one of the pouches I made

And Riley was working on his drums and ended up moving them to the living room. His dad is in town so they are messing around.

Also going in the shop tomorrow will be the yeti ornament!


He's a small guy. The yeti measures 2.5"w, 3"h and is lightly filled!
I better get ready for class! I hate going to my 6p because I usually get really tired in there and stop paying attention and it's just a bad deal.
Have a wonderful monday!
When do you normally put up your Christmas tree? I do when I return from the Thanksgiving holiday but I have a feeling it will be different this year.
