VSA Art Mart

2011-11-30T15:58:00.000-08:00

Well, due to lack of product, I will not be attending the VSA Art Mart. So sorry to have this happen, but I have started working on some new patterns to be posted on PatternMart.com, and I hope to be getting some more fun doodles put onto InstantPrintables.com within a week or two. I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving, and that your Christmas is EVEN BETTER!!

Fall Shows

2011-09-12T13:45:00.000-07:00

Here comes craft show season!!

I've added a Pumpkin Patch at Verdi Elementary School on October 9th, from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. I've thought about doing this show for a few years, and this was the year where it all came together! I will have oodles of pumpkins, both Halloween and autumn theme, plus a few other "funsies" I'm working on!

This is an established event, complete with carnival games, craft exhibits, bounce houses, a rock climbing wall, bake sale, haunted house, and many other fall-themed activities. Bring the whole family for a festive kick-off to autumn!!

Take I-80 West to Verdi, exit 5. Drive through Verdi to Bridge St (about 1 mile). Turn right on Bridge St. The school is on the right, 250 Bridge St.

I'll be sending out a letter in the next week or two with my show schedule posted.

Halloween doodles

2011-07-24T15:21:00.000-07:00

Yay!! Finally listed my first item onto Instantprintables.com!! It's a fun doodle sheet with four halloween characters and instructions to turn them into small ornaments or decorative buttons using Shrink Dinks plastic!

Art Fire

Put my first item for sale onto Art Fire today...yes, pumpkins of course!! Took a little while to get my studio set up...they require quite a bit of info before you can list. but now that's done, and I can list to my hearts content. Should be getting several of my wall hanging kits on there within the next couple of days, and I'm working on a seriously cute scarecrow selling pumpkins which will be a finished item (and maybe a pattern!). Stay tuned!!

Flint Street Festival!!

2011-07-10T10:56:00.000-07:00

This Saturday (July 16th) is the Flint Street Festival, benefitting VSA Arts of Nevada at the Lake Mansion in Reno (250 Court St.). I will be participating, and primarily bringing decorative painted items...not just the usual glass, but I have picture frames, mini birdhouses, small shelves and SO MUCH MORE!!

I'm very excited about this show!! It's a first year event, with about 60 crafters and artists. I have donated two large painted birdhouses mounted on the Lake Mansion balustrades for the silent auction. I'll try to get pictures posted, but I'm not the most "tech-savvy" person in the world, so maybe not!!

If you don't have plans for Saturday (or maybe even if you do!!) come on down to the Flint Street Festival, join in the fun and help support the VSA of Nevada!! The show runs from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm, and parking is available on surrounding streets.

Hope to see you there!!
