Hello lovely people :D

Its Your Life wil be in the Got Craft mini edition this Sunday (the 12th)
Date: Sunday, 12 July 2009

Location: Little Mountain Gallery
Street: 195 E. 26th Avenue (at Main Street)

and then the Car Free Festival along Main next Stunday (the 19th)
its at BLIM, we'll all be out on the street at 17th ave.


i have a new sewn product. backpacks! they are nice. my sewing machine is kind of totally messed up and needs service. so these backpacks are even more special cos with the machine breaking down constantly and me readjusting it and rethreading it, it took me about 4-5 hours each backpack! omg. plus making and testing the pattern. need to get the machine fixed and it should take way less time and if i had a production line with the serger.





so i moved to a new place in june right, well were looking for another place again cos my property manger is completely mental. like, insane. like racist and psycho and violent and hostile. like, for serious. ill write where it is and this guys name, after we move (again) *groanhands* but we could really do better find a nicer spot to settle into, so thats ok. but shit. how annoying. weve filed a dispute resolution against him and have a telephone hearing date next month. maybe one day i will post his letters. they are pretty classic in the bad bad no no category. like, i could sue him for violating my human rights.

yeah. so now that weve semi settled in, ive been trying to make stuff, and recover from landlord problems and now were trying to find another place. gak. come to the fairs ive trying to make more new styles. quality stuff :D

news

1. new place, twice.

2. got craft june 14 at the little mountain studios, andrea will be selling my stuff for me.

3. car free day june 14 ill be at blim on main and 17th. hmm alvaro is supposed to make food.

4. need to update my site like super crazy hello. features, and should be posting flyers of fairs on that blog section.

5. we have no furniture and i havent finished setting up my studio areas. its carpeted and in the living room.

6. i rewatched donnie darko but its the directors cut which i thought was kinda weird, i think i liked the original better.. anyway i watched it again cos im gonna watch s. darko and didnt want to lose the thread cos i hadnt seen donnie darko in a couple years.. but then i checked out message boards and reviews on it and i guess i shouldnt have done that yet. but im gonna watch it later and hope its not so bad as they say. >>>>>EDIT: its was pretty bad like a teenage movie so we stopped watching after like 20 mins of asking each other if we really wanted to watch the whole thing <<<<<

7. all sewn items in my shop are a crazy 50% off till the end of the year. i have more to put up and they are all going on sale cos i wanna make messengery bag style bags again. if you bought something sewn in the past month and are bummed just ask for free shipping.

8. i am going to sell one of my blythe dolls. i think best is gonna go. velvets got all her make up scrubbed off by me. lets see though.
