My First Display!

I am so excited to be setting up a display in a local retail shop! I worked on this display all through the Thanksgiving weekend and for being my first effort, I think it turned out quite well! It was just what I had pictured in my head. My family looked at me quite quizically when I was trying to explain my idea of using steel piping and plywood, but once it was done, I think they all liked it. I almost want to just keep it here in my house, but I guess I wouldn't sell anything that way :) Hopefully the shop owner will like my idea as much as I do!

Here it is!

This has GOT to be the smallest studio ever! I got tired of my stuff inhabiting almost the entire dining room table in our house, so I off I went in search of a space to turn into a studio. It was either the office closet, or a dark, cold corner of our basement. So, I chose the closet, which is only about 32" wide by 24" deep. My husband thought I was crazy, and I wasn't sure it would work, but it did! Of course, someday I hope to outgrow it, but for now it will function just fine...and we will actually be able to eat at the dining room table again!

My First "Live" Sale

I had the opportunity to have a table at the local retail shop Victorian Trading Company last weekend. It did not cost me anything to set up a table and I sold six items in about five hours of time, so I thought it went pretty well. Of course after I left I went to another sale and spent half of what I earned.

I am currently working on creating the "smallest" studio ever! 
I'll post a photo of it once it's completed and you'll see what I mean. :)

Halloween

It was my daughter Sophia's first Halloween to actually trick or treat. We went to the mall. Good thing we got there early! By the time we left it was packed! I made a Thomas the Train costume for her. She LOVES Thomas! Okay, back to work.
