The Goods

The Art Star Craft Bazaar was awesome. It was like Etsy exploded and rained down its Etsy goodness all over Northern Liberties, which is a very cool neighborhood, by the by. Every other table I was saying, "Ooooh, I saw this on Etsy!" The only problems I had with the whole thing, other than the freaking HEAT, were the prices. But maybe that's my own fault for being so poor all the time. (I really must stop doing that.) I could have left with five or six (dozen) items, but my wallet just wouldn't let me. I did pick up a few things which I covet tremendously:


Best. Mousepad. Ever. I believe the artist is Susie Ghahremani from boygirlparty.com, but don't quote me on that.


Spiffy little pocket mirror from myfavoritemirror.com. Artist is Susie Ghahremani.



Purtyful wool is blue faced leicester (quite soft!) from woolarina.com.

I picked up a business card from in-hope.com, but I can't remember why, other than there was something I really liked but probably couldn't afford. Also, I don't know if you're anywhere near New Jersey, but if you are and you are into making things, you have to check out petersvalley.org! From what I hear it is like summer camp for adults. I so would like to take a class or three there. Who knew such a place existed around here? Certainly not I.

In other news, I finished spinning up the fiber I was working on. I even plyed all of it except for a tiny bit. I'm kind of stuck at that point. I'll have to consult the interweb to find out how to ply a single skein all by its lonesome. Anyway here it is, clutched in my claw-like grasp. It turned out pretty okay. I kinda like this spinning thing.
