gearing up

well it is that time of year when i am gearing up for the christmas craft fairs. this year i am gonna shoot for 3!! i am feeling really good about it.  the only thing is that i have to put aside personal projects in order to get things finished up on time but once everything is done i will start up on the things i have put on hold like, my cape, bike bags and who can forget christmas presents too! eep!

i have drawings sketched out and have a bunch of new gold rush items almost complete too just need to finish up final drawings and put the finishing touches on some more things. i thought i would show you the first drawing i finished....he is a hedgehog requested by the cute and wonderful, kelly kronic!

his name is mr. humprey. i am still working out his back story but i think he most likely went to boarding school where he learned how to fence but was never any good at it. he mostly liked to cuddle up with a good book and be sucked into the wonderful adventures to faraway lands where he could pretend to be brave....something like that :)

 in other amazing news i found a suitcase!! i am super stoked. my landlord, who has the most amazing vintage taste, was throwing away a bunch of things and wednesday morning i found it in front of the garbage just waiting for me! it needs some love but i think it will work for my display. if all goes well i will be showing you next week! wish me luck!

  4. Aw, he looks like an awkward teenager that doesn't fit in, but is endearing because of that.

  14. I wish I lived closer to you so I could come see you at the craft fairs!

    I die for hedgehogs! Instead of saying "I love you," my sister and I always say, "Hedgehog love!" It's our quirky way of letting one another know we care... and now we collect hedgehog items as sisterly bond thing. I love your hedgy! He is so sweet!
