It’s August?………..already?

Wow………when did that happen? I’m shocked, time it really does fly by……. I can’t believe tomorrow the Crafter’s Round up is finally here, I’ve been stabbying like crazy for weeks in preparation for it and now I’m finally starting to feel like I might not have a half empty table after all……….phew, that’s a relief (although I’m not sure at this point what I would do if I wasn’t feeling ok ) So remember if you are in the Chicago area to come on by to Chase Park and say hi to the critters this weekend.

Bees ain’t got nothing on me……..

Yeah I’m looking at the bees buzzing around and all I can think is……….slackers!!!! So apologies for the lack of blog updates but something had to give and the poor ole blog has suffered. Yup but lookeee at my new captured critters A little bee, ladybird and hedgie…….I’m loving the way these guys have turned out and it had me thinking of a bigger captured critter so I grabbed my trusty fairy net and managed to snag Norm the gnome……….He doesn’t seem that keen on being captured but luckily the glass is pretty thick so his protestations can barely be heard. I’ve also been busy working on the goody insert for the craftacular bags (yup the first 50 lucky people to walk through the doors at the East Side Club in Madison Wisconsin on August 15th will be getting a goody bag), and trying to get stores restocked (something I’ve been a little slow at sorry guys), all while trying to enjoy the beautiful sunny Illinois summer…….god how I adore summer, never will you hear me complain about the heat, humidity and thunderstorms I love it all

Wow what an utterly fantastic weekend in Cleveland, Bazaar Bizarre was so much fun as were the hundreds of people who stopped by to say hi to the critters, Smithy even decided he liked Cleveland so much he was going to stay and call it home… Wanna see a picture of the booth with my new theme?

Last week I found myself with more green wool than I thought, so what could I possibly make………. It’s my favourite Mario game character Yoshi!!! He was very, very fun to make, I almost didn’t want to call him finished as I was enjoying making him so much, but he is and I LOVE him I added him to the shop already

I just got the fantastic news that I have been accepted to the Crafter’s round up August 7 + 8 Saturday and Sunday at Chase Park So exciting and makes my Summer show schedule (so far) look like this…… Saturday July 3 2010, 12631 Larchmere Cleveland Ohio August 7th and 8th The Crafters round up at Chase Park Chicago Illinois The Summer Craftacular In Madison, WI So exciting…….the tent is going to get a good workout this summer. I also got a few captured critters made this week A little ladybird under a tree and a teeny brown mouse and his hunk of cheese…….It’s kinda hard to take a good picture of the captured critters as the glass reflects a lot so I took piccies of them uncaptured so to speak These lil’ guys will be heading to their new home at Dandy things this Saturday…….although I kinda want to keep ‘em (what else is new huh?) Alrighty back to work as I am busy, busy, busy……….mostly freaking out about the excitement of shows and tents and sunshine eeeeeeeeek .

Yes I am officially a terrible blogger………but I really was referring to the fact that as of today Summer is here, yaaaaaaaaaaaaay finally. Now if only someone could pass the information to the gods of thunder and lightning that seem to have taken up residence in the Rockford area I can get to work on my tan, and finally wear my new Liberty sundresses from target without looking like an over eager idiot.

Nellyphants on parade…….

admin — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 22:25:26 +0000

The circus is starting to arrive in Critterville…….first up Nellyphants They are kinda tricksy to take piccies of as they are so well trained they go into incredible stacks of amazing wonder as soon as you point a camera at them………but I’m glad they are here and that the circus is coming together……they will be appearing in the shop asap too. Yesterday we went to Chicago to see She and Him in Millenium Park, it was crazy busy in the way a free concert in Chicago can only be. But they were really, really great……not as great as how cool the Geary stage is surrounded by the big buildings though The park really is a lovely venue for a show, and it was a brilliant way to spend a sunny Monday night

The one and only Lulu of Lulu’s Stabby Critters would like to unveil what she has been working on for well over a week and a half……………. Drum roll please That’s right a circus themed table set up……The idea got stuck in my head when I saw a couple of display items on ebay that I thought were super cute but made no sense with my current set up. So of course I had to go with it and figure out how to convey a circus tent on a flat table, what do you think? I’m very happy with how it turned out…….I love the idea of the critters being part of a travelling side show and I am the ringmaster of course so they better behave or I’ll crack the whip.

A Sneek Peek at my week…..

admin — Fri, 28 May 2010 21:00:19 +0000

Thought I’d show you a little bit of what I’ve been up this past week, lots of pinning, sewing and painting and emergency trips to the fabric store……..got to be honest though it’s taking much longer than I expected as I had hoped to be all done by now, ah well the best laid plans of mice and men and all that……..squeek. So that’s all your getting for now as I really want it to be all finished for next week, and I still have a load of bunting to sew. Which is another exciting breaking news story this week………I think I may have finally figured out my sewing machine, so exciting!! but of course I don’t want to get ahead of myself as I really only sewed a straight line………but still, I’m very proud of myself as the line was (mostly) straight ahhhhhh progress. I also (somehow) got some lil cutie cupcakes made And added them to the shop

It’s Summertime……

It must be as the temps are finally hitting the 90’s here……..I love the sticky hot of summer, nothing better than sitting outside and getting some rays enjoying an ice coffee or 4, which I guess means you now know how I spent the last week. Although Connor bounded into our lives in the meantime He’s a sweet if rather timid lil’ fella and he will be heading to the shop soon. Meanwhile my head is buzzing with sewing projects……always slightly dodgy for me, as I always think big when it comes to sewing projects but my skill set is always a damper to my plans. Regardless I shall be heading of to the fabric store a little later today to purchase the required fabric…..let’s just say lots of red and white pinstripe, and that’s the only clue you’re getting. I’m so excited to start but scared of the possible outcome if I can’t follow through on my grandiose plans.
