Hot off the Press-Friday, September 21

Just finished 3 back to back shows which really wasn't bad since my last show was July 15th.  Labor Day weekend Jason and I went to Milwaukee for the Third Ward Art Fair.  We had a great time eating lots of food and selling a few bags.  Love that area of Milwaukee.  The next weekend was Downer's Grove.  It was a show I added last minute and was well worth it.  Their downtown area is so cute.  Last weekend was Edward's Place in my home town of Springfield.  It was fun to see some of my old high school friends.  It was also a great show.

I decided to take Monday "off" and go fabric shopping.  Found lots of great fabric to keep me very busy for the next several weeks.

Can't wait for this show next weekend.  30 of my artist friends are coming together for a pop up at Helium on Ravenswood.  Same weekend as the Ravenswood Art Walk so there will be lots going on.

 A few bags I was working on this week.  The new green dot circle fabric and a gray heavy cotton.  Love it!

Hot off the Press-Friday, March 23

Another week down.  I think that is how I start each Friday Hot off the Press.  The weeks fly by especially when it is gorgeous outside.  So strange for it to be 80 degrees in March.  We've been taking evening bike rides with the kids and loving it.  This weekend we will celebrate my sister getting married once again.  My parents wanted to have a local reception since she got married in Austin.  So we are headed to Springfield to my home church for a luncheon.  Really Jason and I get to drop the kids at my parents house and then run for our favorite restaurants.  Springfield has some really great local eats.  Mel-o-cream donuts and a Darcy's Pint Horseshoe are always on the top of our list.  Yum!!

Love this new messenger bag.  The combination of fabrics and design is perfect!

The circle pocket is so cute!

Lucy's wedding reception dress designed by Lottie Da Baby.  I made a Tie Shirt for Cole to match.  He refuses to wear a collared shirt so this is my compromise.  I think it is really cute.
