DESIGNER ALERT

Hey it's me!

While I was at the WearHaus event last Thursday I got an article written about me in the local Pitch, by Nadia Pflaum. 

I feel so COOL! Thanks Nadia!

EVENT

I had a good time at the WearHaus event! (Maybe it was the two 1/2-priced Velvet Dog margaritas I had).

Some co-workers and friends came by to buy stuff. And I even sold to a few strangers!

I'd love to do it again, but I have to get ready for Crafty Chicks for November 1st.

APRON CONTEST

I just entered one of my aprons the A is for Apron contest for a chance to win a free signed copy of A is For Apron by Nathalie Mornu.


I blogged about the book back in April. So it'll be super cool to receive a free copy.

CONTEST RULES:
Between the dates of July 7th, 2008 at 5:00pm EST and August 15th, 2008 at 5:00pm EST e-mail us your original work at crafts@larkbooks.com

How to enter: Send a clear digital photo of your handmade apron, a brief description of your inspiration for the apron, the materials you used for it, and some basic info (name, hometown, years crafting, favorite materials…)

Three (3) grand prize winners will each receive one (1) signed copy of A is for Apron!

WORK IN PROGRESS

A belt I made with Amy Butler fabric.

I'm steady working on items to sell @ the WearHaus event this Thursday. I have some more belts, my popular crafty aprons and tank tops with my logo. I'll be sure to take lots of pics!!!

And speaking of Amy Butler, she has new giftwrap and tableware collection. Does this lady ever stop?!? She's such an inspiration on how to extend your brand and create new product.
