Crafty Supermarket Loot!

Crafty Supermarket was awesome yesterday! I can't believe we have another show under out belts. We had nearly 2,600 shoppers and while I thought I may not make it through the day, it was still the best day ever! This third trimester is catching up with me. I've been getting in bed a 8 when all I do is sit at my desk at work so setting up, vending, and breaking down a craft show was way too much for this pregnant body. Six more weeks or so to go. Ben, my pregnant belly photographer, gets home today so stay tuned for a bump update.

I did score some awesome loot at the show for my baby girl. I didn't buy one single thing for myself...or the list Christmas list. Whoops. Despite my extreme fatigue, I couldn't wait to get home and put the whale print in a frame! Here's who made each item:
Whale Print by Marcy Davy (All Things Grow)
Skirted Bear by LUVKT
Cat Onesie by Everyday Balloons
Wooden Elephant and Giraffe by Happy Bungalow 

These are the very first things I've bought for her. Crafty Supermarket has been a pregnancy benchmark for me since I found out I was pregnant right before the last show. I've been thinking for months that I just have to get through Crafty Supermarket, wrap up work, and then she's here. Oh my, time is moving so fast now. Today's to-do list: Get the house back into shape, unpack Fabricate, and hang out with Ben! Luckily my bf Meri is coming to the rescue to help unpack the store.

So Much Happening!!!!!

Tonight I stopped by Shake It Records to drop off a poster for the next Crafty Supermarket coming up on November 20th and the grand reopening and one year anniversary of Fabricate coming up this Saturday, November 13th. I decided to pick up a new CD which I can't remember the last time that I bought a CD. I grabbed OK GO because of this video that I was forever ago and I haven't been able to get it out of my head.
While many of their songs sound like they should give Prince some credit in the liner notes, it's over all good and has a lot of awesome bonus features.

Crafty Supermarket!!!!!

Cool Things Happening in Cincinnati!

I stumbled upon Crafty Supermarket today while catching up on my Northside news. I'm really excited to see something happening in the handmade movement here in Cincinnati. I've already started harassing her by email to learn more! Hopefully we'll get even more crafters at BYOProject.
