Tweets and peeps

See the flock of birdies? I wish I could keep them all...they do look happy in the window don't you think? I know if I left the room they would be in the floor, in Boris mouth or the cat would do a snatch and run, certain disaster for the sweet tweets.

I have ten new additions in the tweets and four new peeps. They will be at the Centennial Holiday Show next week end. I will share with you that I am a little nervous about this up coming event (more than usual). I heard it was "impossible" to get in, I sent my and Jodi's application in at the last minute and we were selected! Then I get this humongous vendor pack in the mail, I mean it was seriously six pages of very detailed information. The main thing was the "Jury Sheet", they come around and judge your booth on six categories. The categories range from craftsmanship to crowd appeal to display. Based on the resulting scores you may or may not be invited back. The main concern for me is the booth display.
With this being an inside event and no tent I have my challenges. I cannot hang my aprons on the clothesline as I normally do. It also seems like a 10x10 area shrinks inside. I know it's the same space but outside it seems larger? Does anyone have any ideas?

Jodi and I have shared booth space for most of the events this year and we are bursting at the seams. It's somewhat bitter sweet for both of us. On one hand out growing the space means we are building our inventory and have more to offer than ever. Sharing also helps with the booth fee costs, but mostly it's the companionship and time spent with a friend.
We both know next year we may not be able to share a booth. As I said bitter sweet.

New Bag Design

Here is the new handbag style. It's something that I worked on for awhile, I know it looks simple enough but it took me awhile to get it just right. After doing 5 of these babes the bias is looking much better. not that it was terrible before. But the process is much smoother and less time consuming then at first.

Now I am on to some comp book covers. They are fun and easy, I need a brain break before I start another "new" project. I do have another handbag style coming soon. It's actually a draft from the new Vandie bag that didn't work out. I wanted a bag with a pleated top and I think this is the one!

Hopefully more aprons are on the way as well! Lots of ideas in my head that need to be created!

If you are in the East Nashville area next Sunday Sept 7th stop by the Lipstick Lounge on Woodland for the CRAFT event and say HI. You will be able to see the new Vandie bag as well as the new Sweet Tweets.

For those not in the area I am listing in my etsy shop as well.
