What a busy life!

I've been sooooo busy lately between working, crafting, buying a new car, craft shows and just life it seems like everything is going in fast forward.


I sold at the "biggest" craft show in Orange County, Patchwork, a few weeks ago.I did pretty good. It wasn't really my crowd but that's OK, it was a great experience and I had tons of fun. Plus, I started selling my new line of Music Saves Lives purses. There were tons of people there and lots of really great crafters. I'll be adding a TON of new product to my Etsy account over the next few weeks so make sure you check in often.











I also got a new car!!! A Nissan Versa hatchback! I've needed a new car for at least a year now and I'm really excited about it. It's perfect for my busy life and lugging all of my stuff to craft shows and my bike to the beach for road trips. He doesn't have a name yet, but maybe you can help me think of one. My last car's name was Casper and with all of the electrical problems he ended up having it fit him very well. We were together for almost 7 years and had many great adventures together. He will be missed and I hope his new owner loves him as much as I did.


Hmmmm, what else? OH!
This morning when I woke up our complex was flooded! Someone hit a fire extinguisher in the shopping center on the other side of the wall. I think there might be damage to our garage because there was SO much water. I got some rad pics though.




The other night my best friend Marie and I went to see Brett Dennen in Santa Moncia. What a treat that was! I had never seen him before, only heard him talk about him. He was GREAT! Such and original voice. He also made funny faces and dance while he played/sang. It was very entertaining and I highly recommend that everyone checks him out.


I'm selling at a roller derby on May 31st. It's a LA Derby Dolls event. I've always wanted to go to a roller derby and now I have my chance! If you want tickets go here.


OK time to get back to sewing. Hope you are having a great day!

Wow. It's been a while

It's been over a month since I've posted anything. I've been super busy creating blankets and purses for craft shows.

Here are some of my favorite blankets I made


There are a bunch of different styles and some I made more than one of. All in all there are around 18 of them and the "patch" is hand sewn on.

I sold at my very first craft show this past Saturday. It was a really fun day and I can't wait for the super big one I'm doing this coming Saturday in Huntington Beach. The 4 other ladies that I sold with this past weekend and I are going to meet in April and possibly June again as well.

I also created a purse out of a skirt that no longer fits me anymore (which is a great feeling). It's really cute and I will post pics soon. I was going to try to sell the purse, but my mom loved it SO much that I gave it to her.

I haven't been getting a ton of sleep lately so I'm gonna call it a night and write more soon.

To all you out there reading, goodnight Neverland!
