A few of my favorites from this seasons show circuit.
This is Lisbet from En Gry & Sif. Their yummy felted items are designed in Denmark and made in Nepal. Not to mention they have hearts of gold!
This is Bret from All New Materials. I'm not quite sure how to describe their monsteresque stuffies. I had to have one for myself! Forget the kids.
Bojan and Joe of Kimono Kool. Joe designs all his products out of silk kimono fabric and has them made in Japan. Super cool stuff! I got my 13 yr. old some shoelaces and she loves 'em.
My friend Gary and his son from Sonoma Lavender. If you're ever in Sonoma, CA in the summer check their website to see if your trip coincides with their Lavender Festival. I've been told that there are many good deals to be had there. Not to mention beautiful!
I've been having a bit of a hard time getting back in the groove after returning from the gift shows. Everything seems daunting and a bit overwhelming. I'm hoping to be able to find some time this weekend to get away from the "business" side of things and enjoy a bit of the "creative" side. I hope to have something fun to show you by Monday.
I'm 4 days into my 14 Day Challenge of tracking my food. The other night I felt as though I could Eat the HOUSE! I've been using a free online site called SparkPeople for tracking. I've had to increase my calories to more in the 1500-1800 range to compensate for exercise. I don't want to starve myself or increase my risk of injury, I just want to slowly lose a few LBS. and reunite with the reality of what I'm eating.
MT: Ran yesterday 6 miles slow (9:45-10:00) pace. Still feeling sluggish. Thankfully ran with a friend so I didn't have to mentally fight with myself to keep running.
Please feel free to comment with any questions you may have for me. I LOVE asking questions. Maybe that's why my grandma would always say "curiosity killed the cat" and I would always reply, "satisfaction brought it back"!
OH, I like that round pink purse with
the beaded handle and the slippers.

I've loved reading through your blogs...sorry about not commenting much.
I LOVE felted stuff! My mom made me a cute felted purse a few years ago.. :-) She's a diehard knitter and quilter. I have visions of me doing that when my kids are older.
I started knitting on a loom (since it's a 'stitch' that I can actually remember!) with wool yarn, so that I can make a bag of some sort and then felt it when I'm done.
:-)
