The giant pop-up light box that I got from my father-in-law for my birthday.  Its huge and awesome but folds down to teeny. My new business cards and stamp that came in the mail yesterday! Card design also courtesy of my father-in-law. Being out at Persimmon Hollow one more weekend! ARF's Peace, Love & Crafts the weekend after!  I will be remind you a lot about this one.  IT is out at the fairgrounds in the Central Park Hall building on April 9th and it is free to get in!  Open 9a-5p, so you should definitely come visit me and Gleeful Peacock and Bohemian Romance and Bifftastica .  Oh, and I will have some Ceasars Sweets in my booth in case you get a mid-show chocolate craving. Oh, and the weekend after that there is this cool thing called Polishing the Pearl which I will get back to you with more details about.  :-) This new Raspberry Scone coffee I bought at Target.  Yes, I happen to like Target's Archers Farms brand coffee. Its thursda...

Our little booth at Persimmon Hollow  this past weekend .  I know I have posted this picture already, but it was seriously the center of my universe this last week and we extended for one more weekend, so I'm still excited about it. This Pretty Ring These ballet flats Knitting these headbands I know I just posted this picture last night, but I can't tell you how much I have enjoyed knitting up these turban style headbands.  I was having such a hard time with spring inspiration, then all of a sudden it struck and now I can't be stopped.  I knit them in different colors, different designs, different sizes, etc.  Some are cotton blends and some are soft fluffy yarns.  They are just so much fun and so many variations are possible. Linking up to:

While Holly and Shannon and I were out at Persimmon Hollow, I had some time sitting in the back of the booth to knit.  I worked on a few more Turban Style Headbands, I even have on of these mustard colored ones already listed in my etsy shop.  I'm seeing this mustard color and the turban silhouette everywhere these days and I think the combo of the two is particularly awesome.  Do you like my cone of yarn as a model.  :-)  She was very cooperative and held the pose a really long time and I worked on getting some good shots. (one of these mustard ones sold pretty much right away, so I made a second one as quick as I could!)  This next on has a bow made in the same yarn sewn down.  It is a subtle but cute accent, I think.  This headband is a purple and green twist and really, really soft. It had been a really long day by the time this pic was taken.  :-P   I also made this really cool brown one that looped back on itself but totally forg...

I just want to start off by saying that I love our little store front.  I really think we used this booth space well and I love how everyone's things flow together well.  Also, if you are interested as you read this, there is still time to come see us!  I know we were all disappointed by the turn in the weather, but our building is HEATED!  So if you want to come out, know that you will not be freezing the entire time.  Pretty much every shop in the Hollow is heated. Without further ado:  How cute is that?  Our things are so colorful!  We have actually rearranged a bit since the pictures.  The table is now all the way against the wall, which opens it up a ton.  As you can see, for the most part we mixed our things together.  There is a large display of Gleeful Peacock on this side, which definitely attracted a lot of attention.  On this wall you can see a big display of Weather and Noise along the shelves.  Angora Jane's ...

I'm linking up again this week with Yellow Songbird's  Saturday Snapshot .  A number of people put up wedding pictures last weekend.  Well, for those of you new around these parts, I want you to know how much I LOVE my wedding photographers.   Kokoro Photography  is a mother daughter team out of Littleton, Colorado.  The daughter part of the team happens to be a friend of mine from college.  Anyhow, this is my mother's favorite shot of me from that day.  Don't get me wrong, I love it too, but there are so many amazing shots that it is hard to say any particular one is my absolute favorite hands down.  They blogged about the wedding here  and there are a ton more pictures. Happy Saturday!  I am getting ready to head over to Persimmon Hollow soon to meet up with some other Tulsa Makers and hopefully have a fantastic day of both socializing and sales.  If you are in Green Country, come out and see us.  71st & Garnett be...

I want to introduce you to my friend Renee of GreenerMe. I realized I don't think I have a shot of just her, but that Renee in the middle of this little people triangle.  Renee makes invitations and paper goods and does a darned good job of it.  If I had know Renee before I got married I probably would have gotten her input on that. (although I still 100% love my wedding invitations, so don't think I am dissing them)  The next time I have a major party she is totally my girl.  You don't have to take my word for her talent, you can see for yourself: Renee gave me the beautiful array of things as a thank you gift and it totally melted me!  Look at how pretty it all is!  The spools are magnets and the thank you note designs are right up my ally! You can hit up Renee's blog  here .  Here website for her invitations is  here .  And her etsy shop can be found  here .  Next time you need to buy invitations or thank you notes, you re...

So it took me a while to get around to this post.  It has been a very busy week and it is going to continue to be a very busy week.  I'm sure you will all forgive me, it being tax season AND spring craft show season and all.   Sunday was a beautiful and perfect day.  I got all girlified in my new hat and a new sundress. I had to snap a couple quick pics myself as Ben was at work. I took my dressed up self and had a lovely outdoor lunch with a really good friend and her wonderfully cute 3 year old.  One of the sweetest kids ever, I swear.  Anyway, we hadn't gotten to hang out much recently so it was great to get to have lunch on the patio at panera on a sunny day. I also had a wonderful meeting with a bunch of the women of make:Tulsa .  As always, I left this meeting totally revved up and inspired.  These are some of the best people around, seriously.  And don't forget that a bunch of the Tulsa Makers are sharing a booth at Persimmon Hollow...

I have posted a lot recently about things I have cooked and things I like and upcoming shows and pretty things, but I haven't talked recently about the things I am knitting.   On many blogs and in ads I was beginning to see lots of great turban style headbands.  I decided to try my hand at making a few, experimenting a little with design, width, colors, etc. Here are just a few of what I have going on.  All of these will be at the Persimmon Hollow booth this weekend and then anything left after that will get listed in my etsy shop. If you are interested in any of them now though, just e-mail me.  This chunky blue one is super soft and towards the wider end of what I have been making. This mustard yellow is a cotton blend yarn, perfect for spring.  It is also the skinniest style I am currently making. Self portrait sessions can be hard.  I tweeted, but it seems no one wanted to loan me their head this evening. When smiling fails, I begin to just make fa...

I'm linking up with Tickle Me Tuesday  again over at Yes, Teacher.  Here are a few things tickling my fancy this week. On Saturday while I drank my morning coffee I made this little treasury: A Little Rustic Charm This necklace  by fellow Tulsa Maker, Gleeful Peacock This bag  by Anny and Me.  I wish I needed another purse. The cute cookies  made by my new pen pal. And my first show of the spring has me all tickled too!  Read about what we will be up to this weekend  here .  Make sure to stop by the link up party and see what is tickling everyone else's fancy.

I have done a poor job of catching up/keeping up.  And really, I have a terrible excuse.  See, I made the lists, I just didn't take pictures of them or post them.  Oops. So here I present lists 6-12. 6. Least Favorite Words Not a very long list, I know. 7. Blog Goals This list was probably the most important to me this round.  It was good to get these goals down on paper. 8. In My Bag I had intended to take pictures of the things in my bag to go with this list, but I didn't get to it.  Humbug. 9. Favorite websites/blogs This was my most incomplete list this time.  I have about a zillion more blogs and sites to add to the list, but this is a good start. 10. Wishlist I actually accomplished #6 on this list a couple days after writing it.  We did go see Gnomeo and Juliet and it was sooooo good.  If you haven't seen it, you should.  Oh, and I ordered #1.  Yep, I did.  Can't wait! So there are lists 6-10.  I will try and g...
