Another VERY overdue post! Sorry for being a bum...

Ok, so i really don't know why posting has been such an issue for me... i have been a lazy bum i guess... I started the ice cream truck on Wednesday, and have today off because it is hazy and gray outside. I hope the weather picks up because it has been SLOW, but it isn't ridiculously hot yet and the summer did just officially begin. I will be posting pictures of the truck soon but have been just trying to get used to driving it first :)

but here are the last 3 AWESOME etsiers who sent items in (sorry i was so late blogging about your awesome-ness)

Risky Beads sent this crazy magnet that is awesome


and some great necklaces! She even has her own post-its which is just too cute!


And Jodi's Craft Emporium sent these awesome crocheted washcloth/coasters! I love the bright colors!


And last but not least is Mitsel8

who made this awesome wooden painted sign, which it just adorable!


Sorry again about my late posting and I hope your all having a great summer :)

First Craft Show Ever.... aka. Why Did I Waste My Time?

Ok. so i worked and worked and worked to make things for my craft show...my debut to the non-internet world and sold a whopping.... duh duh duh...$33 Dollars. When you count that my table was $20 I feel like an idiot. But i know it was a learning experience and not my right demographic and the 101 degree heat didn't help but i can't help but be bummed!

Look how cute my table was!!!


Some close ups of my stuff...





And my poor mom who came and baked in the sun with me for 6 hours...


So due to the disappointment of all that i am taking a crafting vacation of sorts... just kind of bopping along.

And sorry to those of you who really read this... i am now at the parents house on Cape Cod, and let me tell you, time moved really weirdly here... the pace of life is a complete 180 from Boston, so posting has been...well, pathetic but i will try to improve!!!

Maine Vacation

Hi there...here is another overdue post! Here are pics of me and the boy in Maine! We stayed near Bath in a tiny town called Phippsburg.
