Hello!

Well hi there! welcome to our little place. Well i guess i'll start out by telling you who we are. We are two friends, living in apartments across a courtyard from each other. We get together quite often to create and listen to records and drink tea. Sometimes we go thrifting together sometimes we just make a mess with our crafting.

This adventure began when weekly craft nights turned out so fun i felt i had finally found someone to invite into my dream of making and selling crafts. Theresa accepted and joined in the dream and now here we are giving it a go.

So how this blog will work is that we'll both post from time to time, writing and posting pictures about creativity and our crafts, the creativeness of others that inspire us, and some life and thrifting along the way. Since I am the first poster i think i'll take the opportunity to tell you about theresa and how great she is. hee hee hee. sorry theresa. that is what you get for not having insomnia.

Theresa is a wonderful, quiet, infinitely creative and talented graphic designer, if i do say so myself, and a great friend and neighbor to have. She is always coming up with great ideas and spurring me on in my own. She has great taste and an eye and knack for finding the best things at goodwill and estate sales. Oh if you could only see her place! You'd be so very envious.

We initially met because of her fabulous glasses. I had purchased a couple pair of beautiful vintage cat eye frames but didn't have a clue where to begin finding a place to get my prescription put in them. Then i saw her wearing hers and asked her where she got hers done and we just went on from there.

I am, at the moment, an unemployed barista, wife and cat caretaker. I love love love to make things but rarely can i stick to one things for very long. So at any given time i'll have 3-4 different half done or continuing projects all over the house. Right now i have 8 i believe.

July 29th will be our first attempt at selling our creations. We are super excited. We'll be selling felted wool animals, pendants, and other bit and bobs we've created along the way. really anything we can get done before the show.

Handmade Bazaar
Sunday, July 29th
12 noon - 5 PM@ AudioCinema
226 SE Madison Street
Portland, Oregon

We'll also have things up for sale on our etsy site. We are shooting to have a batch of pendants up by early next week and then after the bazaar, have more things up regularly. You'll find all the info about our shop and any local craft sales here on our blog.

Well i think that is all for now. Welcome and we're glad you're here.
