We have a free embroidery pattern over at Pimp Stitch and it’s super cute! This one is by my pal Missy Ballance of Mohair Circus and Crafty Carnival.
“Let’s Get This Party Started”
Next week the design will be provided by Ms. Amy Cluck who I’m sure will bring the heat and give us something super cute to stitch!
The Pimp Stitch blog has posted another designer profile with a preview of their designs!
As you know, I am one of the designers involved and I am super stoked about translating my designs into embroidery.
Which one of my dolls would you most like to stitch? I’d love to hear from you guys!
I was thinking the turtles would be super cute.

I am back! Back at the old homestead after a long and quite delightful weekend in San Mateo. Today, I find myself feeling like a bag of rocks, literally dragging my ass around the house today. But I don’t regret it, girl’s weekend at Baz Biz kicked ass.

This was my first major show, so I was super nervous all week leading up to it. I kept reminding myself of how much fun I was going to have with my Sac Craft Mafia sistas and that there was nothing to really be nervous about…but I was totally scared.
Missy and I carpooled out Saturday morning at 6am! (we actually left Sacramento at 7…had to make the Starbucks pit-stop) Which meant I was up at 4:45am to be ready. I don’t think I have been up at that time of day since I was UP at that time…you know, still awake, not waking up!
We got to the San Mateo Fairgrounds at 8:15am and got all checked in, unloaded and set up our tables. Lauren, Amy and Sophia got there at the same time and we all had table right next to each other. HOT.
I was unloading my table when I turned around and noticed that I was sitting back to back with [link]CATHY OF CALIFORNIA! Holy fangirl moment! Hopefully she was only mildly annoyed by my gushing over her! She gave me popcorn. I like her very much.
My other SCM pal Kaytea (or Katie in real life) was across the aisle. We shared our Roman Emporer thumbs up or thumbs down after we had lookers at our tables…made me laugh.
There were so many amazing vendors that I got to meet. Lynn Li of Red Sheep was one the first I met and we hit it right off. She took “breaks” with me and Missy a few times and we all laughed our booties off. Her yarn is amazing.
I also met the wonderful hubby and wife team over at the Woddy Miller booth. All us SCM girls thought he had the best name ever…we(mostly me) shout “Woody Miller” really loud whenever he passed by. His wife Jessica asked me to whip up a teeny owl for her to give to Woddy for thier 5th anniversary. We traded for some awesome magnets with is art on them. If you guys stumble on this post Woody or Jessica…my kid fell in love. Can’t wait for the children’s books. You have a fan!
At the end of the looooong day, all of us SCM gals took our wild and crazy butts to BJ’s *giggle* to get “our drink on” since we were away from kids, men and responsibilty…we split ONE pitcher of beer. HAHA. We are lame.
Later we went back to the hotel, giggled for a few hours and went to sleep…just like twelve year olds at a slumber party…not wild, wooly and free thirty-somethings. Lame Lame. But, I’ll tell you a secret…most fun ever. I haven’t laughed that hard in years.
Tomorrow…I’ll post about day 2.
Also lame of me…brought my camera…not one shot. HAHAHA. I had to swipe my photos from my Sac sista compadres.

New pattern day!!!
I am especially attached to this one…I love it. Jackson is fully obsessed with the little “ow”. I can’t keep track of it. In fact, he’s curled up in bed with the little guy tightly in his fist. I wouldn’t dream of taking it back, but I like it too…I want him to sit on my desk and make me smile. Oh well, pictures will have to do.
It works up in a jiffy and as cute as can be! Give a hoot and give a “hoot hoot” to someone special this spring.
This pattern is only $1.00 until May 1st, 2008. At that time it will be bundled into a collection of like sized dolls.
I am also making a kit out of this pattern to sell at Baz Biz. I plan to have 3 different kits…the frog, this owl and a chipmunk. Cute-osity!
I hope you guys like this little guy! He looks so cute sitting in my new hydrangea bush, huh?

THis weekend was a busy busy one. We somehow managed to plant sod, build a 44′ planter bed wall, got to a evening birthday party on Friday, an afternoon birthday party on Saturday, clean the house Sunday morning and THROW a party Sunday afternoon! Whew. I am tired just reading it! But you know, it was a blast! I’d take busy and hectic over being bored anyday of the week!
On Sunday I had a lunch with four of my Craty Compadres and then we trucked it down to the Historic Folsom, CA where there are some great antique stores. I escaped with my pocketbook only slightly lighter…I bought the coolest red pyrex and some bright yellow vintage jewelry. (pictures later)
The food was good, the friends were great and a good time was had by all…I hope! 
I did skip Flower Friday this week, but the funny thing is, I was working in my garden all day Friday and Saturday! I planted FLOWERS too! So I’ll update all the garden changes this Friday instead. (remember what I said about verbalizing a goal…doomed!)
I will have a pattern for tomorrow! So come on back and see me tomorrow!
